Physical devices include speed humps, speed cushions and speed tables, sized for the desired speed. Such measures normally slow cars to between 16 and 40 kilometres per hour (10 and 25 mph). Most devices are made of asphalt or concrete but rubber traffic calming products are emerging as an effective alternative with several advantages.
Common speed hump shapes are parabolic, circular, and sinusoidal. [17] In Norway, speed humps are often placed at pedestrian crossings. Generally, speed humps have a traverse distance of about 3.7 to 4.3 m (12 to 14 ft) and span the width of the road. The height of each hump ranges from 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in). [17]
A curb extension (or also neckdown, kerb extension, bulb-out, bump-out, kerb build-out, nib, elephant ear, curb bulge, curb bulb, or blister) is a traffic calming measure which widens the sidewalk for a short distance. This reduces the crossing distance and allows pedestrians and drivers to see each other when parked vehicles would otherwise ...
Radars on speed limit signs in the neighborhood documents some drivers reaching more than 70 mph. The six speed humps from the southern stretch of the road were removed for now.

This clear distance corresponds to a maximum safe speed of 52 mph and 65-81 mph respectively on dry pavement with good tires, [107] [116] which is attenuated further by convex and lateral road curvature; safe speed is always dynamic. Non-commercial vehicles have even shorter lighting distances. [116]
Boise’s dogbone roundabout was constructed in 2016 to improve safety around Hillside Junior High School. Before the roundabout, a three-road intersection consisting of 36th Street, Hill Road and ...
I believe there is a rubber speed hump on a public road at Strangways Terrace, North Adelaide. This was used in an attempt to make it quieter for surrounding residences. I will dig up the dimensions for speed humps from the Australian Standard and incorporate some of its key points under a new section "Design Issues" or similar.
