Public Evaluation of Speed Humps Performance and Effectiveness [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2018 In Egypt, it is believed that speed humps are the cheapest and best solutions to reduce vehicles speed and thus reduce the number of potential accidents. Due to the lack of specifications in Egypt that govern the installation of speed humps, they were spread randomly and with different dimensions without adequate studies.
