?? What exactly is a “speed table” and what does it do? Think of a speed table as a longer, flatter speed bump that’s more comfortable to drive over while still forcing you to slow down. New road safety measures like this are being installed across Orange County as part of our $100 million Accelerated Transportation Safety Program. Through this five-year initiative, we’re investing in safer travel for pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers and transit riders.
