This report presents guidelines to assist local authorities and traffic engineers with a uniform approach to the implementation of speed humps. It is recommended that these guidelines be read in conjunction with The National Guidelines for Traffic Calming. Concepts and principles relating to the use of speed humps as speed reducing and traffic calming measures are discussed. An implementation procedure aimed at standardising and streamlining the implementation process, is presented. The suitability of speed humps is discussed, and warrants for their use are provided. Standard dimensions and spacing are provided to encourage consistent design practice.
