What are 'table tops'?
Looking at the register of roadworks I can see near us there is:
"SCHEMES - FOOTWAY - Renew F/w, Install Table tops" Start date: 21/03/2016 End date: 10/06/2016 can't see any activity yet - I presume is some pavement improvements but what are table tops? |

They install speed humps at every opportunity. "Table tops" is the term they use for speed humps installed at junctions and which cover the entire road surface at the junction. |

Traffic calming perhaps - those big "humps"? -- Roy |

Probably, although I think they are normally called "tables" rather than "table tops". http://www.ite.org/traffic/table.asp -- Roland Perry |

They are like a speed bump that covers a whole junction or a pedestrian crossing point. https://www.trafficchoices.co.uk/traffic-schemes/speed-table.shtml |

Those look gentle compared with some which are used in 20 mph zones to "calm" traffic on otherwise fast stretches of road. Eg the ones in Homerton Road by Hackney Marshes have such steep edges that many buses have to crawl over them if they are not to ground. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

I had read somewhere that there were plans in the works somewhere to
introduce tables that rose only when a certain posted speed was exceeded. Kind of like the timed signals that you see on the London Underground or the New York City Subway. |

I am a non-driver and a non-bicyclist.
I think that the best traffic-calming system is yet to be discovered. |
