Neighborhood Traffic Circle Program

Based on a high demand and identified need, the Neighborhood Traffic Circle Program (NTCP) was established in 1978 as part of the City's annual Capital Improvement Program. Since then, Seattle's residents, in partnership with the City, have been involved in the installation of over 800 traffic circles on neighborhood streets. The purpose of the NTCP has been to reduce crashes and speeds on residential streets, thereby creating safer, more pleasant neighborhoods. To date, traffic circles have resulted in a substantial reduction in crashes and speeds in neighborhoods.
