§ Mr. AtkinsSpecific provisions for road humps are contained in the Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1986 SI.1986 No. 1856, and detailed guidance on them was published in traffic advisory leaflet 3/87. We are consulting on revised regulations aimed at allowing road humps to be installed more widely. The Department has drawn attention to a number of other traffic calming measures in traffic advisory leaflet 1/87. Standards and criteria have not been laid down. Decisions on when and where to install such traffic calming measures are for individual highway authorities to take. Copies of SI.1856 and supporting publications have been placed in the Library.
