The outrageous increase in population and urbanization have led to drastic increment in volume of transportation on the roads. High volume of different transportation on the road triggers traffic related problems. The objective of the study is to develop non-Newtonian fluid speed hump as traffic calming solution and improve road user’s safety. Development of non-Newtonian fluid speed hump evolve a methodology of material selection, design determination and prototype development. The performance of the prototype is tested with speed reduction test and noise pollution test. The outcome of the study found that the non-Newtonian fluid placed on the strips at speed hump controls the speed of vehicle due to the shear-thickening properties of non-Newtonian fluid. It can be verified by their speed reduction test of 65.15% compared to 52.60% of conventional speed hump. Also, the noise produced from non-Newtonian fluid speed hump slightly lower than the conventional speed hump. Summing up, the non-Newtonian fluid speed hump is a reliable replacement of the conventional speed hump because of low material and installation cost, more reduction in the vehicles speed and less noise produced. It is proven that the non-Newtonian fluid speed hump can be benefited in improving traffic related problems.
