Determination of the Effects of Speed Bumps on Driver Speeds Via Mobile Cameras and A Survey Application
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2017, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
Speed bumps are the most frequently used in Turkey as precautions for traffic calming at pedestrian and bicycle intensive sections. In this article, exemplary traffic calming measures applied on the university campus road network for increasing the quality of life of students and personnel along with their results have been put forth. The effects of speed bump applications on driver speeds are evaluated by way of a mobile average speed enforcement system set up on a section inside the Akdeniz University campus with a speed limit of 50 km/h. The average speeds recorded at the current section with the speed bump in place were compared with the average speeds recorded when there was no speed bump. This article also puts forth a study in which driver opinions on speed bumps determined to be effective in decreasing the speeding behavior of drivers have been examined. Even though the driver speeds decreased, survey results put forth that 50 % of the drivers think that the frequency of speed bumps in the campus is very high. It is emphasized in this study that drivers should comply with the legal speed limits in order to be able to develop a balanced approach with regard to the distribution between all transportation types (pedestrian, bicycle, public transportation, automobile) for campus road network use and to be able to decrease rates of accidents.
