Speed Platform

Advantages

• Moderate vehicle speeds and discourage non-local traffic use when constructed at regular intervals along streets
• Limit the loss of street parking opportunities
• Maintain access for all types of vehicles

Disadvantages

• Can result in more noticeable traffic noise initially when vehicles drive over the devices
• May result in some minor discomfort to vehicle occupants

Considerations

• May require upgrades to road lighting
• Are not suitable for construction directly in front of driveways and accesses
• May not be suitable for all locations, for example, to avoid potential impacts to street drainage
