What role do speed bumps play in a car accident?

Deceleration effect: The design of the speed bump is to force the vehicle to decelerate. This physical resistance can effectively reduce the speed of the vehicle during a collision. Research shows that for every 10 kilometers of vehicle speed reduction, the risk of injury and fatality in a collision decreases significantly, thereby protecting the safety of drivers and passengers.

Warning function: Speed ​​bumps are not only physical obstacles, but also visual and tactile warnings. Drivers will feel obvious vibrations when approaching speed bumps, which reminds them to pay attention to their surroundings, especially in densely populated areas such as schools and residential areas, to reduce accidents caused by negligence.

Improved reaction time: In emergency situations, vehicle deceleration gives drivers more time to react. This allows drivers to take quicker action, such as braking, steering or avoiding obstacles, thereby reducing the number of accidents.

Control driving behavior: Speed ​​bumps effectively guide drivers’ driving behavior, making them more abiding by traffic rules and reducing the frequency of sudden braking and random lane changes. This standardization of behavior can help improve overall traffic flow and reduce collisions caused by improper driving.

Enhance safety awareness: The setting of speed bumps itself conveys a safety message, reminding drivers to stay alert in specific areas. The establishment of this kind of safety culture can encourage more drivers to consciously reduce their speed, thereby improving the overall level of road safety.

To sum up, speed bumps can not only directly reduce the severity of accidents in the event of a car accident, but also improve road safety through multiple mechanisms and reduce the risk of accidents.
