Curb Radii reductions have several benefits for vehicles and pedestrians when oversized curb radii are reduced. These include reduced pedestrian crossing distances and times, reduced vehicle turning speeds, improved driver sight angle and increased pedestrian storage space.

Speed humps are one of the most popular traffic calming measure and it has been used successfully to reduce vehicle speeds in residential neighbourhoods.

Speed humps are raised sections of the roadway designed to discourage motor vehicle drivers from travelling at excessive speeds. Studies have indicated that speeds drop approximately 15km/h between speed humps and about 20km/h at the hump itself.

See the number of speed humps installed in 2018.
