4 cm deep pitfall against speeders - but with dire consequences?

In many countries, not only to increase traffic safety, but also for climate protection purposes, are becoming ever stricter Speed ​​limits introduced. But even these are not always enough to thwart the razors. While many states are introducing even stricter speed limits, others are trying to convince citizens with lucrative offers. Many speeders now also organize in town illegal road races. Nowadays they are a serious risk to road traffic and more and more accidents and property damage can be traced back to road races.

Pitfalls against speeders - expensive consequences

The Swedish company Edeva now presented a solution to this increasingly common problem. One innovative Method should put a spanner in the works for speed sinners. The new concept is based on a method of literally shaking up speeders. act bump: a 4 cm deep pit that is let into the roadway! With the so-called "Actibump", the Scandinavian company has developed a speed trap for speeders. The new system is a kind of pitfall that is embedded in the asphalt across the road. If a vehicle drives too fast past a speed control placed next to the "Actibump", a metal plate attached to the floor is lowered by 4 cm away. This creates an edge that is driven over by the car and clearly shakes the driver awake.

How are emergency services affected?

But through the pitfall no damages to fear on the car or on the suspension, when the vehicles comply with the road traffic regulations. For a vehicle that lowering in the maximum permissible range, in combination with a low profile tire (about a 285/25 ZR21) drives, we see that COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. But only by the way! But how does the new method work at Emergency vehicles? These should be with a transponder equipped with which emergency services can drive over the pitfalls at any time without any problems. The transponders do not lower the metal plates. And how long will it take for resourceful inventors to find such transponders? sell on the net?

successful in Sweden for years

The idea of ​​the Scandinavian company sounds anything but promising to us, but has been in Sweden for several years used successfully. But whether the system can prevail on German roads is still open. Fortunately, some German cities, such as Hanau, have put the system back on hold. Most recently, however, the system was also installed in Iceland, in the north-west of the capital Reykjavík.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
