Figure 3B-30. Pavement Markings for Speed Tables or Speed Humps with Crosswalks

This figure illustrates two examples of pavement markings for speed tables or speed humps with crosswalks.

The markings are shown as white "v" shaped markings inside a second "v" shape. Speed humps are shown as a dimension (noted as typical) of 6 ft deep on each side of a horizontal area labeled "crosswalk or speed table area" that is shown with a dimension (noted as typical) of 10 ft deep. The speed hump and crosswalk are shown across all travel lanes. The travel lanes are each shown as a dimension of 12 ft wide, and this width is denoted as "typical." The "v" shaped markings are shown as centered in each travel lane, with the point of each "v" pointing in the direction of traffic flow in the lane. The overall width of the "v" is shown as a dimension of 6 ft wide. The thickness of the white marking line is shown as a dimension of 12 inches wide. The space between the two sets of "v" markings is shown as a dimensioned distance of 12 inches wide. A legend shows a black arrow indicating the direction of travel in the lanes. A note states: "Optional crosswalk lines are not shown in this figure."

The figure shows options A and B:

  • Option A shows a two-lane roadway segment with black arrows indicating one lane of travel in each direction. One speed hump marking is on the pavement in each direction, with the base of the "v" shown at the outside edge of the speed hump and the point of the "v" at the outside edge of the crosswalk or speed table.
  • Option B shows a two-lane roadway segment with black arrows indicating one lane of travel in each direction. Two speed hump markings are on the pavement in each direction. For each lane, the base of one "v" is shown at the outside edge of the speed hump and the point of the "v" at the outside edge of the crosswalk or speed table, and the base of another "v" is shown at the outside edge of the crosswalk or speed table with the point of the "v" ending at the outside edge of the hump.
