In Grodno, unusual «speed bumps» — so-called Berlin cushions — are being installed on the roads, writes «AutoGrodno».
These are rectangular elevations in the shape of a trapezoid, which are placed in the middle of the traffic lane. Typically, their width is 1.6–1.8 meters, length is 3–4 meters, and height is 7–10 centimeters.
Unlike conventional speed bumps, such structures force only passenger cars to reduce speed. Trucks and buses can pass without obstruction because their wheelbase is wider than the elevation.
It is also believed that Berlin cushions cause less wear on car suspensions if drivers reduce speed in time. In Grodno, they were installed on Taulaya Street.
For Belarus, such traffic organization is not new: Berlin cushions are already present in Slonim and near Minsk.
