Raised humps at pedestrian crossings are not considered obstacles on the carriageway as long as they meet the basic rules set by the Ministry of Public Works and the road safety of users, especially cyclists, is guaranteed. This is because humps are designed to prevent accidents and make crossing areas safer, not to hinder traffic. The correct answer reflects this rule set out in the General Traffic Regulations.
