Don't live next to the freeway if you don't like traffic
Sometimes that is the only place to live. Gating a community is not a better option either.
The solutions I have seen in other places include:
- narrowing the intersections to reduce speed of traffic
- making one way streets that locals know how to use, but end up diverting traffic back onto the main arteries.
- introducing speed bumps to slow traffic
- lowering speed limit on these secondary roads
- blocking part of the street with a park, to force traffic to have make more detours
- adding public transport lanes, while sacrificing car traffic lanes.
The solution will depend on the exact location and will probably end up being a hybrid
