Rubber speed humps made out of recycled car tyres have been laid on the streets of Leicestershire. The low cost, eco-friendly solution to speed management in the county has saved taxpayers some £15,000 off normal construction costs while reducing the carbon footprint of the region – by being more energy efficient to produce than traditional speed humps. Leicestershire County Council said the new humps will be rolled out at suitable sites across the county following their introduction in Birstall. More
