Abstract: The invention pertains to an applicator for applying a fluid to a surface, comprising a frame, an applicator roller, such as a cylindrical brush, rotatably mounted in the frame, a fluid pick-up roller rotatably mounted in the frame, the pick-up roller being positioned beneath and parallel or substantially parallel to the applicator roller and in contact or near contact with the applicator roller, and a reservoir positioned beneath the pick-up roller. The applicator further comprises a skimmer, which is located parallel or substantially parallel to at least part of the pick-up roller.

Abstract: A speed controlling unit for maintaining a traffic hump in a raised position for a limited time to discourage vehicles from exceeding a threshold speed. The speed controlling unit includes a first surface (15a,415a,515a,615a) adapted for actuation by a moving vehicle, a second surface (15b,415b,515b,615b) which constitutes the traffic hump, and mechanical control structure (16,26; 416,426; 516,526; 616,626) for temporarily supporting the second surface in its raised position. An assembly of the speed control units may be arranged side by side across a traffic lane.
