208 motorists were observed at Florida International University, in Miami, Florida as part of a study of the influence of speed humps on motorists' behavior at pedestrian crossings. It was hypothesized that the presence of a speed hump will affect motorists' behavior by compelling them either to yield or stop at a pedestrian crossing to enable a pedestrian to cross safely. A between-subjects experimental design was employed to measure motorists' reactions. Analysis indicated that the relationship is strong between drivers' behavior and the presence or absence of this roadway stimulus. There was also evidence that female drivers may take more precautionary actions than male drivers. This information is useful for roadway designers and traffic psychologists.
作为一项关于减速带对驾驶者在人行横道处行为影响研究的一部分，在佛罗里达州迈阿密的佛罗里达国际大学观察了208名驾驶者。研究假设是，减速带的存在会通过迫使驾驶者在人行横道处让行或停车，以使行人能够安全通过，从而影响驾驶者的行为。采用了被试间实验设计来测量驾驶者的反应。分析表明，驾驶者的行为与这种道路刺激的存在与否之间存在很强的关系。也有证据表明，女性驾驶者可能比男性驾驶者采取更多的预防措施。这些信息对道路设计师和交通心理学家很有用。
