Speed Hump Background & Information

Speed humps are typically 2.1 inches high, allowing vehicles to pass over them at 15–20 MPH—slower than normal, but not as disruptive as traditional speed bumps. They are most often found on residential roads.

Speed humps were introduced in the United States in 1979. Extensive testing determined that the ideal speed hump is at least 12 feet long and over 1.5 inches tall, providing effective speed reduction without causing discomfort to drivers.

The Need for Traffic Calming Solutions

Modern cities and neighborhoods have seen a dramatic rise in vehicle use, leading to wider, straighter roads and, consequently, higher driving speeds. This increase in speed often compromises the safety and comfort of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

Traffic calming refers to design strategies that reduce vehicle speeds and volumes, making streets safer for everyone. One of the most effective tools for traffic calming is the speed hump.

Speed humps are ideal for locations where maintaining a steady, reduced traffic flow is crucial. They are designed to slow vehicles to 10–20 MPH, providing a gentle solution that is also suitable for emergency vehicles. Common areas for speed hump installation include:

  • Residential streets
  • School parking lots
  • Near stop signs
  • Crosswalks
  • Playgrounds
  • Hospital grounds
