Traffic calming

Describes features used to slow down traffic.

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
traffic_calming	yes		General or unspecified traffic calming device.
traffic_calming	bump		A speed bump, speed hump or ramp is a traffic calming feature used to slow traffic. They are also known as a sleeping policeman in British English and Caribbean English and a judder bar in New Zealand English. A speed bump is a bump in the roadway with heights typically ranging between 7.5 and 10 cm. Its length is typically less than or near to 30 cm. They may have cuts and small gaps left and right for cyclists. See  Speed bump.
traffic_calming	dip		A "badén"(AR) is a traffic calming feature used to slow traffic, that works for depression. Its dimensions are similar to bump. See  Speed bump.
traffic_calming	chicane		An artificial feature creating extra turns in a road, used in motor racing and on streets to slow traffic for safety.
traffic_calming	choker		Narrowed road, sometimes signed as pinch points.
traffic_calming	cushion		A hump with spaces between or several multiple rectangular humps aligned across the road. This allows emergency vehicles, buses (due to their wider axle) and bicycles to pass through without slowing down. See  Speed cushion.
traffic_calming	hump		A speed hump (also called a road hump, undulation or speed ramp) is a rounded traffic calming device. Similar to a bump, but longer. Generally, speed humps are about 4 m in length and span the width of the road. The height of humps ranges from 7.5 to 10 cm. See  Speed hump.
traffic_calming	island		An island is a small area that temporarily separates two different directions of traffic. See also crossing=island for islands intended for pedestrians crossing the road.
traffic_calming	rumble_strip		Multiple very low bumps (few cm at most) spaced few meters apart spanning the entire width of the road. Does not limit speeds as such, but are very noticeable to the driver as they generate noise and shake the car mildly. Not to be confused with the similar device used to alert drivers when they drift from their lane. See  Rumble strips.
traffic_calming	table		A speed table (or flat top hump) designed as a long speed hump with a flat section in the middle. The flat section is long enough for all wheels of a passenger car to fit on that section simultaneously. Does not slow as much as a hump and is usually used on roads with residential speed limit. See  Speed table.
traffic_calming	mini_bumps		A group of small bumps in any shape, for example a circle, installed as traffic calming device
