Speed humps in residential complexes

Question

We are interested in finding out if there are specifications in place on speed humps in residential complexes in South Africa. We would appreciate it if you could come back to us with these details.

Answer

Yes – there are engineering specifications. These will be available from local authorities or provincial departments of transport. There also might be some information available from SANRAL (www.nra.co.za) – the institution tasked with building national roads.

Failing that – the national department of transport has developed guidelines that cover signs, road markings and other traffic calming devices. The best person to contact would be Leslie Johnstone (012 309 3000).
