Much Cheaper Traffic Calming Measures

[nivrip]

Traffic calming measures tend to be quite expensive to implement - speed bumps, chicanes et. but here's a way to do it in a much cheaper way. They are truly portable too so that when people get to know where they are they can be moved elsewhere.

Neat.

I believe they are used in Israel.

That actually looks quite clever!

One of the worst "traffic calming" areas around here, is in the car-park of our new hospital. The bumps are very steep and narrow - not the "cushion shaped" sort. No matter how slowly you negotiate them, the darned things rattle your teeth! One of them, is positioned immediately at the exit of a tight left turn... it's impossible to hit it squarely, so heaven help anyone who happens to have a painful back or neck! Such good planning... not!

Traffic calming ... just let children play in the streets.

Not here. A mild, wet winter is all it takes; water freezes, melts, freezes, melts... finally, water seeps through the pavement... et voilà!

Very cheap, but not portable, Urmas.
