How do I choose the best type of speed hump for my situation?

Choosing the right type of speed hump for your specific needs will depend on a number of factors, including the location, traffic volume, and the types of vehicles that use the road. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a speed hump:

1. Location: Consider the specific needs of the area where the speed hump will be installed. For example, traditional speed humps may be more appropriate in residential areas, while speed tables may be more suitable for areas with high pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

2. Traffic volume: Consider the volume of traffic that will be affected by the speed hump. If the road is heavily traveled, a speed cushion may be a better option as it allows emergency vehicles to pass over the hump without slowing down.

3. Types of vehicles: Consider the types of vehicles that will be affected by the speed hump. For example, if the road is frequently used by large delivery trucks or buses, a speed table may be more appropriate as it provides a smoother transition for these vehicles.

4. Height and Length: The height and length of the speed hump is also important. The typical height of a speed hump is between 50-75MM and the typical length is between 3-6M (one lane or 2). This could vary depending on the road and traffic.

5. Installation and Maintenance: Consider the installation and maintenance of the speed hump. Some speed humps may be easier to install and maintain than others.

6. Budget: Lastly, consider the budget for the project, as the cost of the speed hump can vary depending on the type, size and the material.

It is recommended to consult with traffic engineers and road safety experts for the best solution for your specific area and needs. They can help you choose the best type of speed hump and provide guidance on the appropriate design and installation of the speed hump.
