This is a rumble strip in Ravenstone Rd, just north of Turnpike lane. According to a friend who lives right next to it, it's far quieter than a speedhump and she is very happy. Parkside Malvern RA lobbied the council on her behalf to replace the old speed hump.

No street view on the entire length of the road. What do those Ravenstone's have to hide?
Are these rumble strips like the ones at the end of motorways or do they have deeper grooves? I can't imagine I would enjoy having one out the front of my house any more than the poorly constructed speed hump I presently have. Ever heard Veolia's rattling cages fly hopping over the bumps on a peaceful Sunday morning?

From a car/mini-bus driver's point of view-you really DO have to slow down for these!

I have spoken today with the chief engineer on the scheme John Deasy. The closest similar he reckons is on Green lanes near the A406 opposite Kelvin Avenue https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Kelvin+Ave,+London/@51.6102068,...!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x48761943580178a1:0x1b2092f32df1e1cd
You can use Streetview here, so you can actually see it!
This one however has the bumps 0.5m apart, where as the proposed one on West Green Road will have the bumps 3.5m apart to reduce noise and vibrations. The West Green Road one will also be Buff coloured from the anti skid materials used, which will make them more visible.
The idea apparently is to create a sense of shared space, based on the Dutch ideas. This can be very successful if done properly, but is not something that I know a lot about.
If you fancy an outing to go and see the ones spoken about on this forum Abi let me know!
