THE HOME IS THE FASTEST AND BEST PLACE TO OFFSET CARBON EMISSIONS, URBAN FORESTS ARE MORE EFFICIENT THAN OTHER FORESTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD...

• Roundabouts, narrow streets, and extended curbs are enhanced by trees and can be used as traffic calming measures. Tall trees help make streets look a little narrower and this can slow down drivers. A street without trees makes the roads look wider and consistently allow speeding.  Trees spaced close together make drivers think they are speeding, making people slow down. Speeding leads to more accidents.
• Trees can protect pedestrians when they are between the sidewalk and the street.
• Tree lines that stop warn drivers of an upcoming intersection, stop sign, or another warning measure. Because of these changes in tree lines, people will slow down and be more cautious in anticipation. (16)
