Speed humps are designed to slow vehicle speed and improve road safety.

However, the use of speed humps does need to be controlled. The Emergency Services may object because humps increase their attendance times for emergency calls, and thus risk the lives and property of the people. The Ambulance Service and Bus Companies object because of the discomfort and possible injury that may be caused to their passengers and the increased wear and tear on vehicles, particularly buses going over speed tables every day. Speed control humps can lead to complaints about increased noise and sometimes increased vibration from traffic.

To request new speed humps or object to the location of existing humps, you should contact Nottinghamshire County Council through their web site or local office at Sutton In Ashfield.

If you want to report a damaged speed hump please contact Ashfield District Council.
