New Speed Humps Added Near EPCOT Parking Plaza to Slow Traffic
Drivers heading to EPCOT may notice a new obstacle on their way to a day of Disney fun. Disney has added new speed humps to portions of the roadway leading into the EPCOT parking plaza in an effort to slow down vehicles approaching the toll booths and parking areas.

The new black-and-yellow speed humps were installed near the parking entry lanes, just beyond existing rumble strips. Currently, the first set only spans the left-side lanes, while another set near the return roadway is designed specifically to slow vehicles entering from the left. During the initial rollout, some drivers were reportedly seen changing lanes to avoid the bumps altogether, which could lead Disney to expand the humps across additional lanes in the future.
While they may add a few extra seconds to the drive into the park, the new traffic-calming measures are likely intended to improve safety in an area where thousands of vehicles pass through daily. Between guests arriving for rope drop, convention attendees heading to nearby resorts, and families returning after a long day in the parks, the EPCOT parking entrance can get surprisingly busy.
