... appropriate speeds through the use of Use in locations where speeding has been observed Implement active speed or poses a safety risk, such as school zones, sharp traffic control warning signs horizontal curves, or locations with a history of devices speed-related crashes. Use in-pavement measures May include transverse lines, peripheral transverse to communicate the need to lines, chevron lines, and rumble strips.
