Speed Hump Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the application of speed humps. A "speed hump" is a gradual rise and fall of pavement surface across the width of the roadway. Two common designs of speed humps include 1) circular humps - 12 feet long with a maximum height of three or four inches and 2) flat-topped humps - 22 feet long having a 10-foot long and three to four-inch plateau with six-foot-long circular arc approaches. A speed hump differs from a "speed bump", which is more abrupt, having a height of three to four inches over a length of one to three feet. Due to gentle vehicle rocking, speed humps may cause some drivers discomfort and result in most vehicles slowing down at humps and between properly spaced successive humps.

Please review the Speed Hump Policy for eligibility.
