Definitions

  • the invention relates to the mounting of traffic calming devices and other items of road furniture in a roadway, for interaction with the wheels of passing vehicles.
  • One particular type of device is a speed bump.
  • Deformable speed bumps are known, for example from WO-A-98/40563 , assigned to the present applicant, and from US 6024510 (Kamienchick ). These devices are resiliently deformable, and contain air which is permitted to escape when a vehicle passes at a permitted speed over the speed bump. At higher speeds, deflation does not occur, or occurs too slowly for the bump to deflate, providing a deterrent to speeding traffic.
  • Other specialist forms of traffic obstruction are known from (for example only) DE-A-2914708 and US 5415493 .
  • Other types of device required to interact with vehicle wheels include instrumentation for traffic flow monitoring etc.
  • DE 3447712 (Jost ) provides a speed hump and a retaining device for securing the hump body to the road surface.
  • a road surface section is set into a tray or trough which can accommodate the hump body.
  • the raised part can be inserted facing up or down.
  • the hump body sits on rabbeted sections of the trough.
  • the hump is of solid material.
  • GB-A-2288419 (Beveridge ) describes enclosed deformable speed bumps having a sealed hollow casing that can be mounted on a road surface.
  • the fluid in the bump can be displaced, allowing the bump to deform.
  • displacement of fluid in the bump is reduced, thus increasing disturbance to the vehicle.
  • any irregularity in or under that surface quickly leads to damage and/or loosening of the device mounting. Replacement of devices therefore becomes necessary more often. Besides the expense and inconvenience for motorists, repeated work on the road surface merely accelerates its decline.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus according to claim 1.
  • the traffic calming device may comprise a deformable element such as a speed bump.
  • the deformable element may thus be removed from the road for replacement or repair.
  • the insert may comprise a rigid plinth with the deformable, element mounted thereon.
  • Deformable materials naturally have a limited life, and more so when compressed against an irregular road surface.
  • the tray and plinth define a regular surface so as to avoid localised damage, while permitting ready replacement of the worn or damaged components. Interruption of traffic is minimised.
  • the device or the mounting of the insert may provide resilience effective to reduce the transmission of vibration from vehicle wheels into the roadway and surrounding environment.
  • a resilient gasket may be provided for this purpose, integrated with one of the tray and the insert, or provided as a separate component.
  • At least part of the insert such as a concrete plinth, may be re-usable.
  • the plinth may for example be reversible, to allow fitting of a fresh deformable element after wear of a first deformable element.
  • At least part of the device such as a concrete slab may be coloured according to colour of the road surface where it is to be used.
  • the insert may be reversible to provide different characteristics, provided that the tray and recess are adapted to accommodate whatever parts may project from the reverse side of the insert, when the other side is in use.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a blank insert adapted for fitting in the tray so as to provide a flat road surface.
  • the blank may be deployed to defer deployment of traffic calming measures while the trays are being installed, or to allow traffic calming devices or other road furniture to be deployed selectively over time, or removed temporarily for repair.
  • traffic calming device should be interpreted broadly to include any item of road furniture, unless the context requires otherwise.
  • a physical speed bump may be replaced for example by a blank insert having instrumentation, or special visual markings, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the or each insert may be provided with receptacles for lifting gear, in order to facilitate fitting and removal of the devices.
  • the receptacles may for example comprise bolt holes, for temporarily fitting eyebolts or the like. Other forms of recess may be permanently present in the surface of the insert.
  • the invention in a second aspect provides one or more inserts adapted for use with the apparatus of the first aspect of the invention as set forth above.
  • the inserts may comprise speed restriction devices, blanks or other items of road furniture. They may comprise any of the optional features mentioned in connection with the apparatus as set forth above, or in the embodiments illustrated.
  • the invention in a third aspect provides a method of installation of a deformable traffic calming device, as described in the accompanying claims.
  • the tray may comprise walls and a base surface for restraining and supporting the insert, respectively.
  • the method may further comprise subsequently removing the insert and replacing it with another insert while the tray remains securely installed in the road.
  • the other insert may be a replacement of the same type, or a different type of insert.
  • the method may for example comprise part of a programme of installation of speed restriction devices, wherein a number of trays and blank inserts are firstly installed by the method as set forth above, and subsequently the blank inserts are replaced by speed restriction devices to instigate speed restriction over a desired section of road.
  • the method may further comprise the repair of a speed restriction insert by factory replacement of a deformable element of the insert, while re-using a rigid plinth element, such as a concrete slab.
  • a deformable speed restriction device D of the type described in WO-A-98/40563 or in DE-A-3447712 is not fitted directly to a road surface, as in the prior art, but is fitted to a separate plinth P in the form of a concrete slab (see also Fig. 5 ).
  • the entire assembly D+P is factory-made, permitting clean and secure bonding of the deformable material and the concrete plinth, and sealing of the airspace S within the deformable element.
  • Eyebolts E are temporarily fitted in recesses cast or drilled into the slab, for lifting of the assembly D+P, which forms an "insert", within the meaning of the introductory portion of this specification.
  • the deformable element may be mounted to the plinth P by means of bolts, mastic, or a combination of these.
  • the deformable element may be open at its base, and closed only be sealing to the concrete of the plinth, or may be mounted to the plinth as a pre-sealed unit.
  • the plinth itself may be open to the bottom (thus lighter and cheaper), but sealed by gasket or other means to the tray T.
  • the assembly may weigh as much as 2 tonnes, its weight alone acting to retain it in the roadway under all foreseeable conditions.
  • Fig. 2 shows in particular how the insert D+P is set into the material of a road surface R.
  • a tray T is provided and shown in greater detail in Fig. 3 , which is a unitary steel structure, providing upstanding walls 2 to line the recess, and a base extending at least a few centimetres from the walls toward the centre, to provide a flat supporting surface 1 for the plinth P.
  • the tray T has a variable width x so as to suit carriageway.
  • the upper edges of the tray walls 3 are returned to give additional support to the leading/impact face of the tray T, which is exposed to the traffic wheels. This detail provides a natural road break which satisfies current legislation and will prevent the wear course from deteriorating.
  • Fig. 5 shows a variation wherein the plinth is reversible and able to rotate through 180 degrees. This allows the slab to be used twice.
