Traffic Calming
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what consultations are planned with (a) fire services, (b) providers of bus services, (c) funeral directors, (d) the police and (e) ambulance services about the design of traffic calming measures, with particular reference to the cushion road hump.
- Answer
-
Local authorities are responsible for the introduction of traffic calming measures, such as speed cushions, on their roads. The Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1999 place an obligation on local authorities to consult the emergency services whenever road humps are proposed. Although not a specific requirement, the Department strongly recommend that bus operators and any other organisation likely to be effected are consulted.
