FAQs

A speed hump is a rounded bump built across the entire width of a road to slow down vehicles. It’s less abrupt than a speed bump but still effective in reducing speed.

A raised crosswalk is like a regular crosswalk, but it’s elevated to be more noticeable. It serves as a speed hump and a pedestrian crossing at the same time.

A chicane is a series of curves or zigzags added to a straight road to slow down cars. It forces drivers to steer left and right instead of going straight at high speeds.

A curb extension is when the sidewalk or curb juts out into the street, usually at intersections or crosswalks. It narrows the road a bit, which helps slow down cars and makes it safer for pedestrians to cross.

A traffic circle is a circular intersection where cars travel around a central island. Instead of using traffic lights or stop signs, drivers yield to cars already in the circle and then enter when it’s safe.

A median is a physical barrier or space that separates lanes of traffic going in opposite directions.
