I am aware of some of your comments concerning ‘humps’ in the roads. Our local Council (Brent) has just sent a circular asking residents for their views on the proposed 20 mph zone involving quite a few streets in our area. They propose four types of measures (speed cushions, ie. humps, speed tables, raised junction tables and pedestrian refuges), but it will be the humps that will be spaced at regular and fairly close intervals. It should be mentioned that the proposed zone includes three schools and that traffic calming measures of some sort would be welcome. I personally do not like humps, but is there an alternative way of reducing speed in a given area? If they have to build humps, is their construction standard or can they be modified to be more "car-friendly". I would be grateful for your guidance on what could a resident say to the council on such matters.
