A theoretical overview on effects of road humps on traffic speed, noise and volume in improving residential living environment

This paper is part of an ongoing study that aims to analyse the effectiveness of road humps as a traffic calming measure in improving the living environment. It contains a review of how different road hump installations affect traffic speed, noise and volume. The findings are that differences in hum...

It contains a review of how different road hump installations affect traffic speed, noise and volume. The findings are that differences in hump height and spacing are factors in influencing the speed selection by drivers.

Gaps identified in the previous studies are the consideration of road geometrics sample sizes, seasonal periods and development changes in before-and-after studies.
