Are the raised areas on pedestrian crossings considered obstacles on the road?
Traffic rules
Explanation
**Speed bumps at pedestrian crossings** are not considered obstacles on the road, but rather a **safety element**. These speed bumps are designed to **reduce vehicle speed** when approaching a pedestrian crossing, which helps to **protect pedestrians** and prevent accidents.
- Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in the event of a collision, and speed bumps help ensure that drivers **moderate their speed** in areas where there are pedestrian crossings.
- Additionally, pedestrian crossings are marked with **wide lines on the road** that indicate to drivers that they must yield to pedestrians, reinforcing safety in these areas.
Therefore, speed bumps should not be removed, as they play a crucial role in **road safety**.
