Pinch points are created to allow single way movement of vehicles at a point on the roadway. They can be created with a pair of Build-Outs, raised curbing or traffic islands.
To be an effective traffic calming measure, they rely on fairly even and regular traffic flows, so that vehicles are forced to slow down or wait for traffic from the other direction.
