Efficiency of speed hump in reducing speed hump in reducing speed within higher educational institution area
Road hump is one of the most commonly used traffic calming devices in Malaysia. The installation of such traffic calming device has created a more live-able environment with improvement on road safety as a result of lower speeds. Road humps has been widely implemented in Malaysia especially in resid...
