Smart Speed Bumps

Filed under: Speed Bumps — Tags: , — admin @ 1:10 pm

A pair of designers Jae-yun Kim and Jong-Su Lee created a “smart” speed bump.  This speed bump actually reacts to the traffic that crosses over it.

A small damper built inside the speed bump flattens out the bump when slow moving traffic crosses over it.  On the other hand, the damper holds firm when a faster vehicle speeds over the speed bump.

This design makes the speed bump more emphatic to speeders than to non-speeders.
