Speed Calming Measures: Street Elements throughput PDA projects

__________________________________

The prime intervention has been done in the design of the speed breakers. The conventional speed breakers have a bad design and contribute to more accidents than prevention. A ‘one level’ pedestrian crossing was proposed with a long cobbled surface prior to it. As a result, a car is alerted and automatically slows down, enabling the pedestrians to cross first. Pedestrian crossings have been designed and executed on one level, allowing pedestrians safe and convenient passage. Black basalt stones have been used with concrete and mortar to make the cobbled surface. Implementation of traffic calming measures can reduce traffic speed, reduce motor-vehicle collisions, and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. These measures can also increase pedestrian and bicycling activity.
