Abstract
Residents’ Perceptions on Road Hump Effectiveness in Malaysian Residential Environments
Highlights
A common concern shared by residents is that the installation of vertical deflection measures such as road humps can increase noise levels despite slowing down vehicles in their residential area
This paper discussed the perceptions of residents regarding the effect of road humps on their residential living environments, along with a summary of the noise levels and vehicle speeds recorded at the selected road humps
The differences in hump dimensions were shown to have an effect on the noise levels and vehicle speeds, with the lowest noise levels and vehicle speeds recorded at road humps with the highest heights
Summary
A common concern shared by residents is that the installation of vertical deflection measures such as road humps can increase noise levels despite slowing down vehicles in their residential area. 17.3% of the respondents in Setiawangsa have disagreed that the existing road humps have improved their living environment by reducing noise levels. Putrajaya has recorded the lowest percentage of residents disagreeing with that road humps have improved their living environment (14.0%) This lower percentage is attributed to the lower traffic speeds and lower surrounding noise levels. All expected cell counts were greater than five Number of road humps installed is sufficient for a safer environment (Reference Category: Agree)
