Description
Road Speed Breaker (or Speed Hump) is a traffic calming device designed to physically reduce vehicle speeds, enhancing safety in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as parking lots, school zones, hospital driveways, and residential streets. Unlike old concrete versions, these modern speed breakers are constructed from interlocking segments of high-density, recycled rubber. They feature an engineered profile to effectively slow traffic without causing undue damage to vehicles, and their modular design allows for customization to any road width.
Features:
- Recycled Rubber Construction: Made from high-density, recycled vulcanized rubber, which offers excellent durability, weather resistance, and impact absorption. This material is highly resistant to cracking, chipping, and wear compared to concrete or asphalt.
- Shock Absorption: The rubber compound is designed to absorb the impact of vehicle tires, minimizing noise and reducing damage to vehicle suspensions when crossed at the intended low speed
- UV and Weather Resistance: The material maintains its structural integrity and color even when exposed to harsh sunlight ), heavy rain, oil, and extreme temperatures.
- Integrated Color Coding: The system uses alternating Black and Safety Yellow segments, which provide maximum visual contrast, making the speed breaker clearly visible during daylight hours.
- Embedded Reflectors: Most segments feature embedded retroreflective road tape or glass beads that significantly enhance visibility at night and in low-light conditions when struck by vehicle headlights
- Modular Design: Constructed from interlocking segments often This allows the speed breaker to be customized to any road width and enables easy replacement of damaged sections
- Easy Installation: Can be quickly and easily installed using heavy-duty hardware (lag bolts, anchor spikes) directly onto asphalt or concrete surfaces, requiring minimal road closure time
- Cable Optional: Some models incorporate integrated channels or tunnels at the base, allowing for the temporary or permanent routing of small cables or drainage pipes underneath the breaker.
- Low Maintenance: Requires virtually zero maintenance after installation, as the color is often molded into the rubber and does not require periodic painting like concrete.
