A theoretical review on the effects of road hump on traffic volume, speed and noise in residential areas

Living environment in residential areas can be disturbed by the over-speeding of vehicles resulting in increased noise level. Extreme speed and noise create aggravation such as sleep disturbance and health problems among the residents, as well as causing physical impacts. Therefore, as a corrective...
