Traffic Calming Measures - Speed Table

Description:

* long raised speed humps with a flat section in the middle and ramps on the ends; sometimes constructed with brick or other textured materials on the flat section
* sometimes called flat top speed humps, trapezoidal humps, speed platforms, raised crosswalks, or raised crossings

Applications:

* local and collector streets
* main roads through small communities
* typically long enough for the entire wheelbase of a passenger car to rest on top
* work well in combination with textured crosswalks, curb extensions, and curb radius reductions
* can include a crosswalk

Nearby, at the entrance to Pier 40, a ramshackle parking garage at the foot of Houston Street, the state's Department of Transportation has constructed a "speed table" for cyclists. The device creates a slightly elevated speed bump for motorists driving over the bike path, but retains a level surface for cyclists.

The state, which designed the bike path, has also installed traffic lights at the Pier 40 entrance. As elsewhere along the path, the lights flash red and green images of bicycles, leaving no doubt who is ordered to stop.

Well now I know there is a technical term for it. I've either seen no sign, a sign saying "speed bumps" or just "traffic calming measures in effect".


and if you drive really fast over one, this is what can happen.

Should I create a real or rendered poll?

I took that from the bow of the ship yesterday morning with my DSLR.

Interesting - so it's just a heads up that there's something in the road that will make noise or shake your car when you drive over it.
