5.13 Subordinated side roads

Subordinated side roads should preferably be one-way with some carriageway narrowing. While there are no rules for selection of roads, it is suggested that only relatively minor routes which carry, say, 60 to 100 vehicles per hour during peak periods are suitable.

It must be noted that speed humps should be avoided wherever possible when implementing traffic calming schemes. They can be painful for disabled people and those with back problems travelling in cars, taxis and buses.
