Speed cushions look like rectangular pads. On asphalt streets in Pasadena, asphalt itself is used to make them. On concrete streets, rubber ones are bolted on.
Some cities use humps, bumps or cushions to slow down drivers. This is a file photo of one in Riverside. This may be outside your realm of expertise, but I’m hoping you have a suggestion. Cars speed on our residential street with no regard to residents . We have neighbors with young children and pets. Who do I contact to see about putting in speed bumps? The City Council?You came to the right place, Mrs. Bennett, Honk is all knowing – or at least he knows who to call for the goods.
Pasadena, as you can see, calls them “humps,” not “bumps,” and now deploys a version called “speed cushions.” They are wide enough so at least one side of a car must go over them. But they are skinny enough so a fire truck can straddle them and not lose speed on the way to an emergency.
