What is the height of road speed bumps?
1 Answers
Road speed bumps should not exceed 30 cm in width and 5 cm in thickness (height), with two standard lengths of 25 cm and 1 meter depending on road width. Below is relevant information about road speed bumps: 1. Overview: Speed bumps, also called speed humps, are traffic installations mounted on roads to slow down passing vehicles. They typically appear in strip form (sometimes dotted patterns), made primarily of rubber or occasionally metal, with yellow-black color schemes for high visibility. These slightly raised pavement installations force vehicles to reduce speed, commonly deployed at intersections, industrial/mining zones, school areas, residential communities, and accident-prone sections as specialized traffic safety devices for controlling motor/non-motor vehicle speeds. 2. Physical properties: (1) Elongation at break: The surface material elongation should be ≥200% (≥250% for highway/urban road applications). (2) Tensile strength: Surface material tensile strength should be ≥6.0MPa (≥8.5MPa for highway/urban road applications).
