At the University of Delaware, Speeding Boaters Are Slowed With Traffic Logix Speed Humps

LEWES, DE, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Most Universities don't have to be concerned with the speed of boat
traffic. But at the University of Delaware graduate campus in Lewes,
Delaware, the police department had just that problem on their hands.
Using Traffic Logix rubber speed humps, the University got the speeding
boaters, as well as campus traffic, under control.

Located right at the mouth of the Delaware Bay, the University campus used
to be just north of the Bay's boat ramp. Recently, the old boat ramp was
replaced with a much larger, state-of-the-art boat ramp to the campus'
north. Until a new road is built, one of only two routes to the new ramp
runs directly through the University. Since sections of this road are
State property, the University did not opt to close the road. While the
new road is being built to the ramp, a large volume of the boating
traffic passes through the University on the way to the ramp.

Before boaters began passing through, speeding was already a concern on
the main University road. With the introduction of even more cars rushing
to get to the boat launch, it became evident that it was time for
intervention. The University decided to install speed humps to curtail
speeding traffic.

The University chose Traffic Logix rubber speed humps for this project.
When asked why they chose the Traffic Logix humps, Steve Bunting, the
University of Delaware Police Captain, commented, "We looked around, and
Traffic Logix just seems to be the lead of the pack. We liked the design,
the fact that it's removable, and most of all that it really works."

The University police department began the process of choosing humps in
the spring, with little time to get them installed before boating traffic
began in earnest during the summer months. By the beginning of June, the
Traffic Logix speed humps were purchased, delivered, and installed.

Three speed humps were installed on the University road. Two crosswalks
connect the campus buildings to the parking lot. Rubber humps were placed
on either side and between these crosswalks with the goal of slowing
traffic to 10-15 mph. While a formal survey hasn't been conducted, Captain
Bunting said, "We've definitely succeeded in meeting our speed goals."

Now, like most other campus police, the University of Delaware police no
longer have to worry about speeding boaters.
