Design and implementation of speed humps ― Code of practice
Description
“This Botswana Standard specifies guidelines aimed at a uniform approach to the implementation of speed humps. The standard deals specifically with the 3.7 m long speed humps, typically between 80 mm and 120 mm high, and not with the smaller 0.5 m long speed bumps that are typically between 100 mm and 150 mm high. The latter (i.e. speed bumps) are not suitable for use on public roads, and are therefore only recommended for shared space environments. The guidelines highlight the following issues: a)an overview of the concepts and philosophies behind the implementation of traffic calming; b)procedure which local authorities and developers can follow when deciding on the implementation ofspeed humps; c)the relevant limitations of and warrants for speed humps; d)the various types of speed humps and the possible modifications in order to achieve the desired results; e)standardized dimensions, layouts, spacing and other design criteria that are associated with speedhumps; and
f)the need for monitoring their effectiveness after implementation.”
