The following is a profile view of the above:

Socially and economically the Zone is designed to breathe new life into downtown Pulaski. At its core it is a method for street control. Street lines are painted differently to allow diagonal parking and westward flow of traffic. Railroad-like barrier gates exist at either end to close off traffic to convert a lane for use by pedestrians instead of cars. There are two flashing speed limit signs to lower speeds when lanes are used for pedestrians. That’s about it. It can be handled by different pilot program schedules.
