Abstract:

The easiest and traditional way to control the traffic is calming devices, which are well known as vehicle speed reducers, and these calming devices are used to avoid accidents. Two types of speed breaker vertical as well as horizontal are used around the world to reduce speeds at acceptable levels for the execution of laws with ease. Some faulty designed and abnormal speed breakers also cause various accidents hence these speed breakers always in limelight of objections but today the world is moving towards intelligent speed breakers which could be safe and more environmentally friendly as compared to traditional speed breakers. This review article has investigated the smart and modern speed breakers around the world.
