MODIFYINGSTREETSCAPESPEED HUMPSSpeed humps (also known as speed bumps) have beenused in the City of Bellevue since 1985 as a techniqueto reduce vehicle speeds. A speed hump is a raisedarea of roadway pavement approximately 3 inchesin height. They are different from the more severespeed humps you may find in a parking lot. A speedhump causes a vehicle to produce a rocking motion,creating an uncomfortable sensation for the occupantsof speeding vehicles thus encouraging the driver toreduce their speed. The City uses two different designsbased on roadway characteristics. The first is a 12’ long (in the direction of travel) with a gentle rise to3 inches at the center and the other a 22’ long design that is 3” in height, with a 10’ flat top. The latterdesign is used for raised crosswalks and in areas with transit and higher traffic volumes.Can also be used with: curb extensionsPUBLICPARTICIPATIONAPPROVALREQUIREMENTSTRAFFICCONSIDERATIONSThe requestor should be proactive throughout the process in assisting the City inobtaining support and should also serve as a member of the Traffic Committee, ifone is formed.Adjacent property support is needed.
