Are speed humps at pedestrian crossings considered obstacles on the carriageway?
Traffic rules
Explanation
**Speed bumps at pedestrian crossings** are not considered obstacles on the roadway as long as the **road safety** of all users, especially **cyclists**, is ensured.
- Speed bumps are designed to **reduce the speed** of vehicles, which helps protect pedestrians when crossing. This is crucial in areas where pedestrians are more vulnerable, such as in zones with **low visibility** or where vehicles tend to go faster.
- The safety of cyclists is also important. Speed bumps must be designed in a way that does not pose a danger to them, allowing for a safe and smooth crossing.
- In general, speed bumps contribute to improving safety at pedestrian crossings by forcing drivers to **reduce speed** and pay more attention, which decreases the risk of accidents.
