Residential Areas: To slow traffic on local streets.
Near Schools & Parks: High pedestrian activity zones.
Commercial Complexes & Malls: In parking lots and entry/exit points.
Apartment Complexes & IT Campuses: To manage internal traffic.
Industrial Areas & Public Transport Stations: Where vehicle speeds need control.
Junctions & Crossings: Especially where footpaths meet roads (raised crossings).
why to use Road hump Speed bump?
In India, road humps are crucial traffic calming measures, with models varying from standard designs following Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines to newer, innovative types like the Curved Speed Hump (CSH). They are commonly made of durable materials like rubber, plastic, or concrete and typically feature high-visibility black and yellow markings. [www.road-safety-shop.com]
Key Regulations and Design Considerations
IRC:99-2018 Guidelines : The construction of official road humps in India is governed by the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines. These standards specify precise geometric dimensions to ensure safety and prevent vehicle damage or driver discomfort.
Aesthetics and Visibility : Road humps must be painted with alternate black and yellow (or white) bands and supplemented with reflective stickers/cat-eyes for enhanced night visibility.
Unscientific Humps: A significant challenge in India is the presence of numerous unscientifically designed or illegally installed speed breakers that do not follow IRC standards, which can cause accidents and vehicle damage.
| Type/Model | Material | Typical Dimensions | Usage & Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Speed Hump | ABS plastic or Rubber (prefabricated) | Height: 2.5 - 5 - 7.5 cm ; Width: 100 - 350- 400 - 750 Cm (IRC specified) | Most widely employed on Indian roads, effective for reducing speeds to about 25 km/h. Often found in residential areas, school zones, and minor urban roads. |
| Rubber/Plastic Humps | High-strength rubber or plastic | Common heights: 50mm, 75mm | Modular, easy to install, weather-resistant, and often sold under branded "Arrow" or "Diamond" models. Used in private areas like malls, IT parks, and industrial gates where durability and visibility are key. |
| Speed Cushions | Rubber, plastic, or ABS | Varying dimensions with gaps between them | Designed with gaps to allow wider-axle emergency vehicles (fire trucks, some ambulances) to pass at higher speeds while forcing standard cars to slow down. |
| Speed Tables | ABS Solid | Longer flat top section; height typically 2.5 to 7.5 cm | Less aggressive than humps, suitable for areas where speed limits need maintenance (e.g., 30-40 km/h) rather than significant slowing. Can incorporate pedestrian crossings (wombat crossings). |
Where to install
Road humps should be installed in high-pedestrian areas like near schools, parks, residential zones, and busy crosswalks to calm traffic. They are used to reduce speeds in dangerous spots, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists by forcing drivers to slow down, but should complement other traffic calming measures like medians or chicanes for best results.
