The height of the speed hump <br /> determines how fast it may be navigated without <br /> causing discomfort to the driver or damage to <br /> the vehicle. Discomfort increases as speed over f` <br /> the hump increases. Typically, speed humps are -s i__ [ ' - - -a <br /> placed in a series rather than singularly. p <br /> EZD <br /> Note: Speed humps can be the most cost- _ �' <br /> effective traffic-calming measure for reducing <br /> speeds on existing residential streets. While they uz_ <br /> often generate considerable opposition from <br /> drivers, public safety agencies, and service <br /> agencies, speed humps have repeatedly been <br /> shown to be effective in reducing travel speeds _ <br /> by S to 10 mph on residential streets, and they <br /> artatively inexpensive to install and maintain. <br /> There is some evidence that the over-use of <br /> peed humps can lead to negative reactions, <br /> especially from injured persons being <br /> transported, etc. <br /> SPEED TABLES <br /> • (3-4" x 22') <br /> A Stage 2 Tool <br /> comme <br /> Speed humps with a long flat section, often used �,,.,,r• �� I t t <br /> as crosswalks. i• it*��. _ <br /> Laj <br /> • <br /> bbbil <br /> • <br /> •.• „^CII----,F <br /> • <br /> ....mac sue <br /> • <br /> IP <br /> • <br /> TOTAL P.R8 <br />
