Traffic Problem
(OP)
I have a street where traffic is high at 7:00 AM and again at 5:00 PM. The residents complain they cannot pull out of their driveways because too many cars are traveling the road. A traffic signal was requested so I conducted the traffic study and reviewed the 8 warrants. None were met. What other methods are available to increase gaps between vehicles or encourage better platooning?

Hire a policeman - most sit on their duff all day anyway.

Sounds like poor planning to me and there is not much you can do without major infrastructure improvements. You may consider not allowing parking along the road to improve sight distance for vehicles pulling out from their driveways.

If it's the first problem there may be something you could do, if it's the second then as civilman72 said, it's just poor planning and you're probably stuck with the situation.
