Speed humps are raised devices, parabolic in shape, placed across the road to slow traffic. They are often considered the most traditional traffic calming solution. Speed humps slow traffic more gradually than speed bumps, although less so than speed tables.
7' length x 3" high x 22.5' wide is intended for Speeds of up to 10 MPH
14' length x 4" high x 22.5' wide is intended for Speeds of up to 15-17 MPH
ITE standards and specifications - These Speed Hump measures are prefabricated to conform to traffic calming safety standards and specifications outlined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Unlike concrete and asphalt solutions that contract with heat and from vehicle pressure, rubber solutions maintain these specifications continuously.
Rubber - These Speed Humps are made from recycled rubber tires. Rubber is lighter and easier to work with than asphalt and concrete, significantly minimizing the number of hours that need to be invested to install the solutions. Rubber pieces can be pulled up and moved without being destroyed. This is convenient for municipalities that want to institute temporary measures to test an area and is also a safety measure so that products can be stored during the winter to prevent snow plow damage. Unlike concrete and asphalt which necessitate frequent and high cost replacement, rubber products are long lasting and cost-efficient. In addition to long term benefits, rubber products offer a quick, easy way to install solutions when timing is key.
Easy installation - These Speed Humps are simple to install. They are secured with anchors and bolts and can therefore be removed and relocated to an alternate street when needed. This feature is beneficial when a municipality would like to test a street or the product. Each product panel is significantly smaller than (less than half the size of) other similar units manufactured by other companies. Smaller panel size results in easier installation, less complicated removal, and more convenient storage. Panels do not require skilled labor to install, which produces greater savings for municipalities. The installation process is also designed to always allow one lane of the road to be open, thereby avoiding unnecessary street closures.
Molded Reflective Tape - Each panel is embedded with highly reflective tape. This tape is a safety feature to ensure that drivers can clearly see the panel both during the daytime and at night. Tape is used instead of paint since paint often fades away within months and the reflective tape can last for several years. Tape is available in several color choices. Highly reflective cat's eyes can be installed on any device for further enhanced visibility.
Environmentally Friendly Design - These Speed Humps are made from recycled rubber tires. This ensures that while products address community health and safety needs, they are also friendly to the environment. An additional benefit of the product’s green design is that it can help municipalities obtain funding for the products since many areas have a budget allocation for recycled products.
