MARCH 2023 UPDATE
Installation of the traffic calming devices is complete. Over the next several months, the Town
of Cary will collect data on vehicle speed and traffic volume.
In approximately one year, they will issue a report showing the collected data, their analysis and their conclusions concerning the effectiveness of the devices. Based on the report, changes may be made to the traffic calming plan.
The Town staff will continue to work with Lochmere’s Ad Hoc Traffic Committee. If you have questions about the project, please send an email to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
The Town has posted a survey on its website to collect feedback. The survey is open to residents of the Highlands. Because Loch Highlands Drive is a Connector Street, the survey also will be open to others. In addition to posting the survey on the Town’s website, they will be putting signs along Loch Highlands Drive.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 UPDATE
The Ad Hoc Committee is happy to report that the Town of Cary work has started on Loch Highlands Drive.
During construction of the speed humps, a flagger will at times direct traffic along alternating, one-lane traffic flow.
While the crosswalk is being installed, the portion of the greenway by the playground leading down the hill and connecting to Kildaire Farm Road may be closed. If people want to go north on Kildaire Farm Road, they will need to stay on Loch Highlands Drive to the Kildaire Farm Road intersection and turn right.
Residents need to be extra safety-minded during this process.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 UPDATE
The Town of Cary has advised us that the contract is in place to begin installation of traffic calming devices along Loch Highlands Drive. Residents should be seeing construction cones very soon. This will be the culmination of a formal five-year effort to reduce speeding and improve safety along the roadway.
The traffic calming measures include:
- Raised crosswalk at the playground greenway path
- Five speed humps along Loch Highlands Drive
- New, improved signage
- Radar speed signs will remain in place
The Town of Cary is covering all of the costs for these improvements. There will be no special assessments or additional fees.
Please be careful as you drive through the construction areas.
Please visit www.lochmere.org and check the Ad Hoc Traffic Committee’s web page for additional information and updates.
