humps along SLEX??

[charmander]

di ko alam yung tawag sa humps na maliliit e hehehe. near bicutan exit sa SLEX, both sides, meron white na humps na maliliit kaya magvivibrate ka pag nadaanan mo. bat sila naglagay ng ganun? i know sa mga villages merong ganun para mag slowdown ka.. pero bakit sa expressway?

[bajumbo]

sa NLEX meron din nun... baka kc prone to accidents ung area kaya naglagay nun..

[Elroi]

meron din nyan sa NLEX, sa Balintawak (northbound) at Bocaue (southbound).. just reminding us to slow down before we hit the toll booths...

[niky]

Those are "rumble strips". Yah, they're to remind you to slow down.

i think those small humps that cause the car to vibrate is to wake up those who drive at night, para hindi antukin..thats what i know..

This is my theory din. Kung alam mo namang nandun sila, I don't see why you'll slow down. Pero pag inaantok ka at nadaanan mo to... Wake up call for sure!

Question lang is can this do any damage to our cars, pag dinaanan natin na let's say running at 80-100 kph?

OT: kala ko ba naman humps talaga,.. asuuss!... Pagnadaanan mo, sabayan mo ng kanta: "may humps...may humps, may humps, may humps.." kaso mabilis na version yun! ...hehe korny!...

* the_noise: Very minimal lang naman yung dadaanan mo dun ehh, so lesser impact into your cars' suspension,.. the faster you go,.. the lesser the suspension will feel it,.. so tolerable lang yung, wag lang lubak syempre! Hypothetically, kung kilome-kilometro siguro ang layo nung strips, then everyday mong dinadaanan, tapos back and forth pa, pedeng medeteriorate then possible masira palage yung suspension mo. Simple as that!

Well.. I dont think so... marami ring ganyan dito sa Turbina (highway along Calamba~Batangas) mostly along intersection ng mga industrial parks. They've been here for long time (most of them worn-out na) I dont hear drivers complaining about damage on their vehicles (including me even at these speeds). Certainly, they wake you up as you pass by.

Ang galing ni Sir Ed...may reason naman pala sya. Mas ok na daw masira mga gulong at sasakyan kesa masira ang sasakyan kasama ang buhay natin...correct...siguro pinag aralan naman muna nila yan bago na implement diba?

[aga_cruz]

yep...rumble strips. para nga magising pag inaantok.... daming ganyan sa states..mostly on freeways.

[Jj]

I think they call those small humps Rumble Strips.. pls correct me if I am wrong...

[hotwheels]

I beleive this is more of a safety precautions to driving than hazard. this are common on all expressway in other country.

[niky]

Eh... given that the average height of the ridges that make up the rumble strip is much lower than the variations in surface height elsewhere on the SLEX, then I'd say no... not even a full kilometer's worth will do any damage to your car that normal driving on our wretched highways will not do.

[gearspeed]

Kala ko brake strip ito..hhehe..

warning sign lang talaga to slow down..


hmm... di ba sa mga car factory/ assembly plant, pagkatapos ng isang unit test drive agad.. meron dun na isang "course" ng mga maliliit na humps.. 2 inches maybe.. hinaharabas kaagad ung brand new unit for test drive..hehe

at the slex, para ka na ring may rumble strips, specially, sa center lane from alabang to sucat. kaya lang, iba epekto. wavy ang dating. hehehehe.
