What is the difference between transverse deceleration and longitudinal deceleration on the road?
1 Answers
The differences between transverse deceleration and longitudinal deceleration on the road are as follows: 1. Transverse speed bumps: Transverse speed bumps are rectangular dashed lines, while longitudinal speed bumps are diamond-shaped. Transverse speed bumps are perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. Transverse deceleration markings consist of a set of parallel white dashed lines, used to remind drivers to slow down. These markings are typically found in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other sections where vehicle speed reduction is required. They can appear as single, double, or triple dashed lines, all perpendicular to the direction of travel. 2. Longitudinal speed bumps: Longitudinal speed bumps run parallel to the direction of vehicle travel. Longitudinal deceleration markings consist of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane dividers, creating a visual effect of lane narrowing to psychologically prompt drivers to reduce speed.
