Road accidents are common in India, often due to poor driving or poor traffic calming. One of the most common types of traffic calming devices is Speed humps due to enforce slow down speed limit, having low cost and easy installation. Howeve r, in Vadodara city, many speed humps characteristic improperly designed. This makes pavement condition poor near to these humps and reduces smooth vehicles flow over speed humps. This paper Aim to develop speed humps model on flexible pavement using visual inspection method. Total 32-speed humps considered for the study on a stretch from Airport Circle to Soma Talav Cross Road both side. Pavement condition index (PCI), in road sections, near speed humps in the two directions of the road is calculated by the visual inspection measurements. The characteristics of each speed hump (height and width humps) for two directions recorded. Using linear regression correlations method developed best suitable mode between the pavement conditions index and speed hump characteristics. The width of speed humps less than 120cm From Airport Circle to Soma Talav Cross Road and From Soma Talav Cross Road to Airport Circle both direction Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was found between 25 to 40 which means pavement condition is poor. Generally, the results proved that the pavement conditions and Impact of speed humps on environmental pollution, safety, travel time, fuel consumptions, comfort for drivers and passengers and other factors are greatly influenced by the presence of improper design of speed humps and hump characteristics.
