Traffic calming measures like road humps are implemented to reduce vehicle speeds and enhance safety, particularly for pedestrians. It’s essential to adhere to the speed limit and refrain from overtaking within these areas to ensure the effectiveness of these measures.
In areas where trams operate within towns, you may notice distinctive surface textures or colors indicating tram lanes. These lanes are often delineated by white line markings to alert drivers to their presence and ensure safe interaction with tram traffic.
A rumble device, typically consisting of raised markings across the road, serves multiple purposes:
- It alerts drivers to upcoming hazards, such as a roundabout or a sharp curve in the road.
- It encourages drivers to reduce their speed by creating a tactile and audible feedback when driven over, prompting increased attentiveness.
