Speed Humps are designed to reduce vehicular speed on residential local or collector streets that have a single lane of travel in each direction. While generally effective in reducing vehicle speeds and volume, speed humps also have disadvantages such as the potential for increased vehicle noise when traversing the hump as well as increased emergency vehicle response times.
For additional information regarding speed humps, please refer to the Speed Hump “What You Need To Know About Speed Humps” Fact Sheet and the “Speed Hump Evaluation Guidelines”.
