ROAD HUMP

A road hump, also known as a speed hump or speed bump, is a traffic calming device designed to reduce vehicle speeds on roads and residential areas. It is typically made of durable materials such as asphalt, concrete, or rubber and is strategically placed across the road to slow down traffic. The road hump creates a gentle raised surface, forcing drivers to slow down as they approach it. Its purpose is to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and residents by discouraging speeding and promoting safer driving habits. Road humps are commonly found in school zones, residential neighborhoods, and areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
