Re: Proposed implementation of improvised traffic road calming markings (TrCM) at slip road zebra crossing

Following a request for a proposal on developing innovative solutions for an engineering problem, a proposal report has been consolidated to implement traffic calming road markings on slip road zebra crossings to improve overall road safety.

The proposal comprises the identified problem, which stems from the lack of clarity of road markings at slip road zebra crossings, and how the proposed solution seeks to address the matter of high accident rates at slip road zebra crossings. The benefits and challenges of the proposed solution are presented with great detail in the proposal.

The proposed solution intends to improvise on existing traffic calming road markings, such as the “dragon teeth” road markings and yellow checkered markings, by painting these markings on areas of slip road zebra crossings. This will ensure that the road markings are visually captivating to oncoming motorists.

The proposed implementation shows its viability as existing traffic calming road markings such as dragon teeth markings have been successful in reducing accident rates at slip road zebra crossings.


Thank you for your time and we hope that you will consider our proposal.

Yours sincerely,
