Sdr. Sejerslev [pop 800] is located 10 km north of the Danish-German border on a regional highway.
"For many years the town inhabitants had been bothered by the through traffic, its volume (up to 1,600 vehicles per day), and especially the speed (66 km/h on average), and they had expressed the wish for improvements for a long time."
After speed humps were installed, a questionnaire revealed that "there was a very large proportion of positive attitudes towards the scheme." People felt that speeds had been reduced and traffic safety improved.
