  • Patent number: 5733063
    Abstract: A vehicular traffic controller is disclosed wherein the control mechanism is positioned beneath the road surface. A plurality of transversely spaced levers extend upwardly from the surface. The levers are coupled to a shaft journaled for rotation below the road surface. Shaft rotation and lever retraction is effected by an operator to withdraw the levers to a position beneath the surface. Each lever is provided with a tire disabling member. A vehicle traversing the control point with the levers extended imparts rotation to the levers and causes the disabling members to damage the vehicle tires.
