Road Safety

Traffic Schemes

Chicanes and throttles

 

Chicanes and throttles are intended to reduce traffic speed by reducing the available carriageway width throughout a short length.

 

Chicanes introduce a physical deflection into the vehicles' horizontal path, thereby further reducing the vehicle speed.

 

Throttles narrow the road, frequently to provide a safe crossing point for pedestrians, sometimes in conjunction with a speed table.
