London council tests speed bumps for cyclists to initital negative reactions
Despite their safety benefits, drivers have grumbled about speed bumps since they were first introduced in Europe in 1970, but now they have been installed in a London street to slow cyclists.
The primary legislation is contained in sections 90A to 90F of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended by the Transport Act 1981). The Act (sections 90A and 90B) makes it clear that road humps can only be constructed on roads with speed limits of 30 mph or less. It seems then the legislation was introduced no earlier than 1981.
Yes that is right just found this.
Speed humps were introduced in the UK in 1981. There are an estimated 30,000 in London and at least that number in the rest of the country. Conventional speed humps cost about £2,000 each.
Thanks for all that, oddly enough Googling and Wiki were the first places I looked, with no real success! It struck me as incongruous in the film, they were on a street, no private land.
I wish I could understand the logic of people like wendilla who reply with 'google' or 'google is your friend'.
Why bother posting at all if you can't answer or at least provide the relevant link?
