Gallery:Traffic calming
Here's an urban scene with a traffic table at a junction, and a 20 mph zone leading off to the right. And a great sky!

Looking north at the other end of the short closed D2.

An extreme form of traffic calming, and fully justifying the 6'6' width limit on this A road

This is the sort of damage that speed humps cause to the existing road surface. The wheels of vehicles accelerating uphill away from the hump churn up the road surface. (Name and shame Eastleigh Borough Council and Hampshire County Council).

An unusual sign in Ilfracombe - a 'humps' plate with no distance specified.

Note how the bus stop area extends from one island to the next - it is (just) possible to get round a bus if it stops in the middle of the red area, but few dare to attempt it because it's difficult to see whether there is enough room at the far end.

A chicane in a rural 30 mph limit at Lower Stretton near Warrington

The chicane seen from the other side - at least it's NSL once you're out of the 20 limit.

Driving along a rural B-road in Cheshire, you suddenly come across a chicane and a 20 mph limit!

Looking east on the A538 at the junction with Gorsey Road - recently 'upgraded' with traffic calming. New red tarmac at the entrance.

Note how traffic approaching from this direction must cross the yellow lines to line up with the pinch point

From the other side, the sign is correct, but again the left lane is blocked. Normally at a block-type calming scheme, the priority traffic can go straight through, and does not need to change lanes. Here though, you need to change lanes, but then you end up in the correct lane (see the previous view).

Wrong sign. Upside down. Look at the arrows. Now, if you are used to a blue rectangular sign at this type of junction (meaning: you have priority) then you could make a costly mistake. This should be a round sign with red border. Note the road though: looks like a normal calming scheme; the lane you are in is blocked. However, look at the the view from the other side.... (next)

Traffic calming measures in place looking north westwards along Shepherds Lane with the William Penn Sports Arena to the left.

One of two parallel roads forming the basis of the pattern of housing on this estate, the other being Masters Drive. Golf enthusiasts will not be surprised to learn that the individual closes off these roads are named after courses, e.g. Sunningdale Close.
Showing the signs that greet you as you leave Southampton's home zone.

These markings, and some similar ones on the other side, are all that is left of the chicane that was installed on the B5125 in Northop Hall. There are humps now, which are far less disruptive.
