The word “policeman” scares many people, including drivers. However, the “Speed ​​Bump Sign” does not cause fear in anyone, since it simply indicates an artificial bump on the road. There is always a corresponding sign in front of it. What does it mean?

In the traffic rules it is classified as a warning. Its purpose is to indicate a speed bump.

Often a speed bump sign is placed in front of a zebra crossing where people are crossing the road to prevent drivers from speeding up quickly. In some situations, it is set along with the speed limit in order to protect a certain period of the road.

The speed bump sign has different pictures. The first option looks like this: on a blue square there is a white triangle, in which a curved line is depicted. The second option looks like this - on a triangle with a red border there is a straight line with a convexity.

An “artificial hump” on a red background is located to warn motorists that they are approaching a speed bump. In a city or village, such a sign is located 50 - 100 meters before the artificial bump. On the highway it can be seen 150 - 300 m before the object itself so that drivers have time to brake.

Most often, this sign is installed near those objects or places where people often cross the roadway. In such places, the speed limit alone will not help, since there will still be drivers who exceed it.

A speed bump is much more effective. If you drive over it quickly, the car's suspension wears out a lot, so such an obstacle is usually overcome slowly. in places where such obstacles are installed, this obstacle is reduced significantly.

A speed bump should only be used in conjunction with a corresponding sign. That, in turn, is installed in accordance with GOSTs R 52289, 52290, 51256.

The unevenness itself must be established in accordance with GOST R 52605-2006. It regulates the size of such an obstacle on the asphalt.

There are two types of speed bumps:

• wavy,
• trapezoidal.

Each of them has maximum permissible dimensions. According to GOST, such an unevenness cannot be narrower than the width of the road, but with an error of up to 20 centimeters. A speed bump is not permitted if there is no drainage system.

The boundaries of this barrier must be marked with signs and, in some situations, with markings. In addition, the unevenness can only be established on a hard road with lighting on it in the form of street lamps.

Installation is carried out only in places where it is necessary. It is prohibited to place an obstacle on federal highways, at bus stops, on bridges or in tunnels, or if the road has more than 4 lanes.

GOST specifies all the necessary parameters for such unevenness. First of all, its dimensions are determined based on the speed limit.

When the speed limit is limited to 20 km/h, the following dimension of roughness on the road is established:

1. For a wavy profile, the length is from 3 to 3.5 m, the height is 0.07 m, and the radius of the curved surface is from 11 to 15 m.
2. For a trapezoidal profile: the length of the horizontal part is from 2 to 2.5 m, the inclined part is from 1 to 1.15 m, while the maximum height of the ridge is 0.07 m.

These parameters are optimal. If you make more of them, then when driving, the wear on the car’s suspension will greatly increase, which should not be allowed.

To comply with the speed limit of 40 km/h, the dimensions are as follows:

1. For a wavy profile, the length is from 6.25 to 6.75 m, the height is the same - 0.07 m. The radius of the curved surface is from 48 to 57.
2. For a trapezoidal profile, the length of the horizontal part is from 3 to 5 m, the inclined part is from 1.75 to 2.25 m, and the height of the ridge is 0.07 m.

As you can see, the height is the same everywhere. It is this that allows vehicles with almost any ground clearance to pass such an obstacle without any problems.

Some residents of apartment buildings are not happy that cars drive too fast in the courtyard of their house. In this case, they decide to install the road unevenness themselves. It is possible to do this physically, but according to the law, it is prohibited to perform such actions yourself. In order to do this, you need to contact the services and explain why such measures are needed.

If the residents of the house want an artificial unevenness and a sign installed in the yard, they need to contact:

• to the traffic police,
• to the district administration.

These requests can be made either in person or through the institution’s website. At the same time, we should not forget that such actions may be refused. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to indicate the most compelling reason and justify it. When contacting the traffic police, it would not be superfluous to collect signatures from the residents of the building on whose territory the installation is planned.

If you follow these rules, the outcome of events will be positive. Usually, the answer comes quickly.

It also happens that a citizen often crosses the road at a pedestrian crossing in the same place, but there are no speed bumps there. Because of this, cars drive by very quickly and do not always have time to brake. Then the citizen understands that an artificial unevenness with a sign is necessary on such a site.

To carry out the installation, the steps described above are necessary, and you need to contact the same services.

Places where it is prohibited to place this type of barrier

There are sections of roads where it is necessary to install speed bumps for road safety or to warn of approaching a dangerous section of the highway.

However, at the same time, there are places where the installation of such unevenness is prohibited:

• federal roads outside the city;
• highway, if the number of lanes is more than 4;
• stops;
• bridges and overpasses.

Why is that? It's simple. In such situations, setting the unevenness does not ensure the safety of movement, but can only lead to an accident.

Some believe that an artificial unevenness in a certain place is erroneous and dismantle it from there on their own. For this type of manipulation, the law provides for a fine, the amount of which varies slightly. It is also provided for breaking a speed bump.

The same punishment will be for “dismantling the sign”:

1. The fine will range from 5 to 10 thousand rubles for individuals, and for officials - up to 25 thousand rubles.
2. The largest fine is provided for legal entities - up to 300 thousand rubles.

The same punishment will follow for the illegal installation of a speed bump. The “unevenness” itself is then dismantled.

In order to remove the obstacle and not pay a fine later, you need to contact the traffic police or the district administration. This can be done both online and in person. There you will need to fill out an application and indicate the reason why the speed bump needs to be removed.

If you argue for such a desire, then, most likely, the response from the district administration and the territorial traffic police will be positive. In this case, you will not need to do it yourself; dismantling will be carried out by special services.

Road safety at a new level

Regardless of the shape and size of artificial obstacles, they still have a detrimental effect on the car’s suspension. The chassis suffers when passing such obstacles, and this ultimately leads to a decrease in service life. In addition, some artificial bumps are not visible on the road at night, which is why drivers drive over them quickly. The least trouble in such a situation would be a breakdown of machine components, and in the worst case, an accident.

To ensure greater road safety, special noise strips were introduced on Russian roads in 2012. However, motorists did not immediately fall in love with this innovation. Initially the stripes were slightly different and more pronounced. Because of this, when hitting them, the car became less controllable and the noise was too loud. In addition, in nearby houses these noises were clearly audible, which disturbed the peace of citizens. Soon the stripes were replaced with improved ones.

From a distance, they resemble the already familiar speed bumps, but without the bulge. The stripes are usually two-tone and in some cases reflective. When hitting them at high speed, the driver feels vibration, but does not experience any discomfort.

After passing the first lane, the driver understands that it is necessary to reduce the speed, and the last part is already driven slowly, so he practically does not feel the vibration.

Previously, they were applied only on the tracks - in test modes. Now, there are sound strips within the city limits.

Noise stripes are common and cause much less damage to the car than speed bumps. In some places they even install a zebra crossing for pedestrians, which creates noise when they run over it. Drivers are accustomed to this and when vibrations occur, they do not hesitate to reduce their speed.

Speed ​​bumps are an indispensable factor in ensuring road safety. However, they must be accompanied by an appropriate sign and are visible in the dark due to reflective elements. Only then will they be of any use.

Following the USA and Europe, artificially created road irregularities - the so-called “speed bumps” - also began to appear in our country. They are placed on potentially dangerous sections of the road to force a reduction in speed. True, unlike foreign countries, our construction methods and local rules on the roads have shown that not everything is so smooth. What problems did drivers and authorities encounter after the installation of speed bumps and how should everything be according to the law?

What it is?

A “sleeper” or “speed bump” is an artificial elevation on the road surface. Its direct purpose is to force drivers to slow down. Such structures are installed in potentially dangerous areas, for example, at sharp turns, near schools and playgrounds, at the entrance to supermarkets, etc.

Abroad, “police” ones are made of a thick layer of rubber (as a rule, used tires are used) with a cast iron base. Such structures are portable and mobile. In our country, as a rule, this is a pile of concrete poured across the road. The height and steepness of the embankment depend on the degree of potential danger in the area.

What problems did the installation of speed bumps bring?

With the increase in the number of such structures, the number of customers in auto repair shops began to grow. The craftsmen had more work to do: stripped bottoms, damaged suspensions, failed steering systems... And all because the authorities often installed artificial humps unexpectedly for drivers, without even bothering to put up the appropriate road sign. There was also no mention of marking lines, and combined with a poorly lit section of the road, all this logically led to the above-mentioned problems.

All this continued until the entry into force of the state standard in 2008, which clearly specified the means of organizing artificial unevenness and the requirements for their installation.

What is stated in GOST?

• The “speed bump” can be either a prefabricated structure or a monolithic one, that is, it can be a raised platform made of the same material as the road surface itself.
• Its maximum height should be 7 cm.
• An artificial hump must be accompanied by a speed bump sign installed on both sides of the road.
• Plus, it must be accompanied by markings that the driver could see from afar.
• In those places where an artificial road roughness (abbreviated as IDN) is installed, drainage systems must be organized to prevent the formation of puddles and accidents during sudden braking.
• On one section of the road the maximum number of speed bumps is 5.
• It is prohibited to place them on federal highways, expressways, bridges, in tunnels and near bus/trolleybus stops. This list also includes entrances to emergency services buildings, such as ambulance stations, hospitals and fire stations.

Of course, no one often adheres to so many rigid positions. After all, a certified “police officer” installed in accordance with all the rules will cost about 30 thousand rubles. Not every administration is ready to allocate them from the local budget.

How to correctly cross the IDN?

When driving over a speed bump, many drivers make the same mistake: they press the brakes. Even light braking in this case negatively affects the quality of the front suspension. Here is the correct algorithm of actions:

1. Start braking early when you see an obstacle on the road.
2. Slowly roll up to the “policeman”, and when the front wheels begin to run into him, lightly press the gas pedal.
3. After moving over a bump, increase the gas until you reach normal speed.

If these rules are followed, the car will seem to “swallow” the bump on the road and will not receive any damage. If you notice the “policeman” too late, you can brake sharply before him, but in no case on him.

What if damage could not be avoided?

What to do if it is not your fault, but the car is still damaged after an encounter with a speed bump? First of all, don’t hesitate to call the traffic police. Arriving employees are required to fill out a report, as in any accident. During the investigation, they will definitely find out the reason. For example, a “policeman” was installed illegally, in the wrong place or in violation of the rules. In this case, with the issued resolution, you can safely go to court and will definitely win the case.

How to check a “policeman”?

Any speed bump should only be installed with official permission. Moreover, it is issued not by the traffic police, but by the local administration itself, under which a special commission operates. It accepts applications for the installation of bumps and the advisability of speed limits in a given area, making an appropriate decision. Therefore, any person has the right to go there and request documentation for a specific identification number.

By the way, an interesting art cafe called “Speed ​​Bump” recently opened in Pervouralsk. In addition to delicious cuisine and affordable prices, the establishment boasts an original interior: traffic lights, road signs and quotes from famous people hang on the walls. However, due to a conflict with local security forces, its activities had to be suspended. Law enforcement officers considered the name incorrect, and also constantly visited to check whether road paraphernalia had been stolen directly from the highways. The cafe representatives themselves admitted that they could not even think about such problems when choosing the name for their establishment. Therefore, the sign had to be slightly modified: today the cafe is simply called “Lying”.

An article about artificial road humps - where and why they are needed, rules and installation methods. At the end of the article there is an interesting video about how to safely drive through speed bumps.

The content of the article:

On dangerous and emergency sections of roads, artificial road humps (hereinafter IDN or IH) are used to reduce traffic speed. More often they are called “speed bumps”. You cannot set the IDN yourself, but you can make such a request to the traffic police or the local administration. You need to write a statement and indicate your reasons for the need to place such an object. All requirements will be considered and the most important and paramount ones will be selected.

The best remedy for violators

IN is an effective weapon against reckless drivers. If violators may not comply with the signs and markings, then it is impossible to ignore the impressive unevenness. The very first attempt to “fly” without braking will force you to learn the rules of the road for life. It will shake so much that it doesn’t seem like much, and maybe it will even end in expensive car repairs.

Even if you do not violate the speed limit, if you frequently drive incorrectly along the highway, you can damage your car's suspension or steering. This lies in the fact that many motorists depress the brake pedal when passing an obstacle. Thus, at the moment of collision of wheels and unevenness, the pressure increases to the maximum, which can lead to breakdown. The correct way to pass a speed bump is to coast or use light throttle. You need to brake in advance, before the obstacle, and then release the pedal and let the car ride along the “wave” on its own.

Where is ID installation needed?

There are places accepted by GOST where speed bumps are placed first:

• In front of educational institutions such as schools, universities, colleges. In close proximity to kindergartens and playgrounds. In areas where there are crowds of people, large shopping centers and supermarkets. Near stadiums, train stations, busy squares and parks;
• On difficult and emergency sections of roads and highways, where the maximum speed cannot exceed 40 km/h or less. It is not uncommon for such sections of the route to have a rich history of accidents, which is why they are highlighted with signs and identification numbers;
• In front of the courtyard area, which is marked with a “Residential Area” sign. Speed ​​bumps can be installed inside the yard with the help of the management company, the wishes of the tenants and permission from the traffic police. This question is very relevant in “travel” yards, where heavy traffic poses a danger;
• When approaching complex, uncontrolled intersections where serious accidents occur. Perhaps in this situation, after the ID there will be a sign “Driving without stopping is prohibited”;
• Before busy pedestrian crossings;
• There are concentrations of children's clubs, sections and camps on the territory.

Where is it prohibited to place an ID?

In some situations, installing unevenness can cause severe inconvenience, or even provoke an accident. Here are the places where there can be no artificial obstacles:

• Federal highways;
• Regional multi-lane (4 or more) roads. At the same time, in areas that pass through populated areas, installation of IN is permitted;
• Highways;
• Bus stops and nearby lanes;
• Trolleybus routes;
• Bridges, the area under them, tunnels, overpasses, overpasses;
• The territory within a radius of one hundred meters near the railway crossing;
• Any routes to hospitals and first aid stations, fire stations, gas services and other areas where emergency response teams are located;
• Locations of underground communications with inspection wells reaching the surface.

Basic provisions when installing a speed bump

• IN should be installed on roads for forced braking;
• Based on the type of construction, road surfaces are divided into monolithic (made of asphalt concrete) and prefabricated;
• The ID should be located across the entire width of the roadway to prevent the possibility of bypassing it. Minor deviations are possible, but only 20 cm on both sides;
• It is necessary to have a working drainage system in the proposed area for the construction of the industrial installation;
• The presence of traffic signs warning of obstacles and markings visible from afar is mandatory in front of the IDN;

Rules for installing monolithic IDN

1. The structures are made only from asphalt concrete. In cross section they can be wavy and trapezoidal.
2. The type of longitudinal profile depends on the presence or absence of rainwater wells on the descent at the IN. If there is no drain, the edges of the profile are cut off near the curb stone. This is done so that the water does not stagnate and flows along the road.
3. The length of the speed bump depends on the speed limit in that area, but the maximum height is always the same. It cannot exceed 0.07 meters.
4. Installation of asphalt concrete unevenness is possible only in places where there is good lighting.

Rules for installing collapsible speed bumps

This design consists of several identical main and edge parts.

1. The elements are assembled from one or a pair of plates connected together by machined grooves. They must have special holes for reliable bolting to the road surface.
2. The structures should be easy to install and dismantle. Its individual parts must be easily changed, if necessary.
3. The maximum height of the elements ranges from 5 to 6 centimeters, and the length of the IN is calculated from the maximum permitted speed.
4. The composition of the IDN should be strong, but elastic. A high coefficient of adhesion to the surface is required.
5. It is mandatory to apply reflective elements in the direction of transport to ensure visibility of the vehicle at night.
6. If some parts are missing or installation parts protrude, operating the IN is dangerous for drivers and is unacceptable. This may damage your car tires.
7. When dismantling the vehicle, all fasteners should be removed, holes in the road should be sealed, and traffic signs and markings should be removed.

How to install IDN

In the situation with concrete limiters, there are not many subtleties of installation:

• The asphalt, which will be uneven, is washed and cleaned of dust, dirt and puddles. Sometimes its top layer is cut off for better adhesion to the solution;
• In some cases, road workers use a form to pour concrete, but more often they create a “speed bump” without special restraints;
• The new road object is given time to harden, after which special markings are applied and warning signs are placed.

The collapsible structure is also easy to install, but you need to know the basic requirements:

• The surface of the roadway at the site of future installation must be smooth, without potholes or pits;
• Before installation, you need to ensure the quality of the asphalt and check its thickness. Based on this information, mounting bolts are selected;
• Next, the design of the IN itself is compiled. The parts must be tightly connected to each other without joints or gaps;
• The number of elements used depends on the width of the road. Clearances on the sides should not be more than 20 cm - such a loophole will allow drivers to go around the obstacle on one side of the car. This will lead to incorrect distribution of the load on the IN and, as a result, its breakdown;
• Before installation, the points of future holes for fastenings are marked and drilled with a special tool;
• The speed bump is placed in the designated place and screwed with special anchor bolts. The fasteners must be fully tightened;
• During installation, be sure to use all fasteners;
• Only specialized organizations that have the right of access to such work and the necessary licenses and permits have the right to carry out work on installing ID.

There is nothing complicated about installing speed bumps. Any qualified team will quickly cope with this matter. It is a little more difficult to obtain permission to place such an object, but if you are absolutely sure that it is necessary, submit an application and prove your point of view.

If you are ready to pay for the installation yourself or team up with your neighbors, then the chances of an IDN appearing on your territory will increase noticeably, as will the time for consideration of the application.

But you should not make limiters without permission from the administration or the traffic police - they can be dismantled without warning and a fine will be issued for the illegal installation of the object. And in this case, no one will return the money spent on installation. Act legally and the speed bump will protect you for years to come.

Video on how to safely drive through speed bumps:

It should be noted that such a stable verbal construction - “speed bump” - only in our country acquired the status of an almost official term, although in its homeland, in England, it is still a slang expression and sounds like sleeping policeman, that is, a sleeping policeman. You need to have an English sense of humor and an impeccable road surface in order to accommodate such a “policeman” in any problem areas.

In Russia now even preschoolers know what a speed bump is. But many experienced motorists do not know that its official name is an artificial road hump (IH). It is not surprising that, despite natural road irregularities, this innovation still retains some exoticism.

It must be admitted that our roads have already abounded in elements of forced speed reduction, which is the IDN, and the creative thought of domestic traffic controllers went in the same direction as that of the British. But she didn’t get there. Installing a traffic light at a pedestrian crossing near a kindergarten in a secluded corner of the city is reasonable, but wasteful. Along the highway, placing dummies of traffic inspector cars with a blue stripe along the fuselage, or even plywood inspectors, is witty, even funny, but distracting. In addition, they must always be moved to new warning points, otherwise on the third day it’s no longer funny. Therefore, the main, most reliable element of a forced reduction in speed on the road was and remains a vigilant, that is, a standing policeman. Natural, with a striped stick.

The advantage of a standing police officer is difficult to dispute. Compared to a recumbent one, it lies in the fact that when driving past it, the car is not so seriously injured. Struts, ball joints, steering rods, tuning bells and whistles remain the same as they would have remained without the adjuster. And from a legal standpoint, standing speed controllers are preferable to recumbent ones because they are all the same. Recumbents are different, and there are few that meet the requirements of GOST 52605-2006 even in the capitals.

Nevertheless, no matter how many alive and healthy traffic police inspectors appear simultaneously on the sides and sidewalks of Russian roads, the number of speed bumps slowly but surely continues to grow. And they are installed by municipalities in agreement with the traffic police. Sometimes it's just stupid. Sometimes in violation of GOST. It happens that both organizations and local residents do this without permission for installation. After another campaign to dismantle some unauthorized and non-standard IDNs, they are returning again or appearing in other places. Because sometimes they are still needed.

So, asphalt tsunamis, which abound on our roads, have long been illegal. IDNs should be made of plastic or rubber, no more than 7 cm high, elastic, with a distance from the sidewalk curb of no more than 20 cm. Their design should not retain rain water on the road surface or interfere with snow removal equipment. At night, they should be visible due to the appropriate coloring, and their appearance on the road is warned by appropriate signs about the upcoming “hump” and the speed limit. It is assumed that this kind of speed bump is harmless. Although this harmless driver’s swearing, I think, has been heard a lot, regardless of whether it complies with GOST or not.

But then one day, while overcoming another element of forced speed reduction, you heard a characteristic crunch, creaking and stopped with the wheel turned out. And after they had vented their souls, they inevitably asked themselves the question: what to do next? Provided that the speed of your car did not exceed the permissible 30 km/h or exceeded it, but there were no warning signs, or the depth of the hole near it was added to the legal 7 cm height of the ramp, or... And of course, you consider yourself completely innocent. So what to do?

The same thing you would do if your wheel fell into an open manhole or a spring pothole covered with water: call a walking policeman and file an accident. It will be difficult to obtain financial compensation for the breakdown from the installation and operational department in charge of speed bumps, but it is possible to bring the matter to court. At least on principle. Moral satisfaction is also needed, especially for the battered and battered Russian motorist. Who knows, maybe speed bumps were given to us from above. Well, let’s say, specifically in order to search and find specific culprits in one of two of Russia’s eternal troubles.

GOST R 52605-2006
ARTIFICIAL HUMPS
General technical requirements. Rules of application

artificial roughness; IN: A specially constructed elevation on the roadway to force a reduction in traffic speed, located perpendicular to the axis of the road.

IN is installed on certain sections of roads to ensure a forced reduction of the maximum permissible speed of vehicles to 40 km/h or less.
Depending on the manufacturing technology, IN designs are divided into monolithic and prefabricated.
At the site for the installation of IN, drainage from the roadway must be provided.
To inform drivers, sections of roads with ID must be equipped with technical means of traffic management: road signs and markings.
Requirements for monolithic structures

Monolithic IN structures must be made of asphalt concrete.
Depending on the transverse profile, INs are divided into two types:
- wavy

or two parts

which are geometrically compatible with each other and have holes for attachment to the road surface.
To ensure visibility at night, retroreflective elements oriented in the direction of vehicle movement must be applied to the surface of the vehicle. The area of ​​retroreflective elements must be at least 15% of the total area of ​​the IN.
Retroreflective elements are made of polymer tapes or other materials in accordance with GOST R 51256. The values ​​of the brightness coefficient and retroreflective coefficient of such elements must comply with the requirements of GOST R 51256 for category I roads and main streets of continuous traffic. If retroreflective elements are destroyed or peeled off, as well as their lighting characteristics decrease during operation to values ​​below standard values, the retroreflective elements must be replaced with new ones.
It is not allowed to operate the IN with missing individual elements and protruding or open fasteners.
If the integrity of the tire is compromised due to the loss of one or more elements, the fasteners remaining in the road surface should not cause damage to the tires.
IN is installed on roads with asphalt concrete and cement concrete surfaces in areas with artificial lighting.

IE is arranged based on an analysis of the causes of accidents on specific sections of roads, taking into account the composition and intensity of traffic and road conditions

IN is satisfied with:
- in front of children's and youth educational institutions, playgrounds, places of mass recreation, stadiums, stations, shops and other objects of mass concentration of pedestrians, on transport-pedestrian and pedestrian-transport main streets of district significance, on roads and streets of local significance, on park roads and driveways];
- in front of dangerous sections of roads on which a speed limit of 40 km/h or less has been introduced, established by road sign 3.24 “Maximum speed limit” or 5.3.1 “Zone with maximum speed limit”;
- before entering the territory marked with sign 5.21 “Residential zone”;
- in front of unregulated intersections with poor visibility of vehicles approaching along the road being crossed, at a distance of 30 to 50 m to road sign 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited”;
- from 10 to 15 m before the beginning of road sections that are areas of concentration of road accidents;
- from 10 to 15 m to ground-based unregulated pedestrian crossings near children's and youth educational institutions, playgrounds, places of public recreation, stadiums, train stations, large stores, metro stations;
- alternating 50 m apart in the coverage area of ​​road sign 1.23 “Children”.

It is not allowed to arrange an ID in the following cases:
- on federal roads;
- on roads of regional importance with a number of lanes of 4 or more (except for sections passing through the territory of cities and towns with a population of more than 1000 people);
- at public transport stopping areas or adjacent traffic lanes and at the widening of the roadway;
- on bridges, overpasses, overpasses, in transport tunnels and passages under bridges;
- at a distance of less than 100 m from railway crossings;
- on main high-speed roads in cities and main streets of citywide importance of continuous traffic;
- at the entrances to hospitals, ambulance stations, fire stations, bus and trolleybus depots, garages and parking areas for emergency vehicles and other sites where special vehicles are concentrated;
- above inspection wells of underground communications.
