Our Speed Bumps can be used for all sorts of applications not all to do with controlling traffic speed. Recently we have been installing speed bumps at fast food drive through restaurants for traffic delineation. The speed bumps ensure that drivers stay in the correct lane, and will not cause damage to alloy wheels like Kerb Stones. Unlike lines painted on the floor speed bumps used in this fashion will provide clear feedback to drivers, preventing them from accidentally crossing into the other lane and causing an accident.

Our Speed Bumps are not just suitable for using as speed bumps, they have a variety of other uses. One of the most common alternative uses for our speed bumps that we see is as a Parking Block /  Stop. When bolted down a set distance from a loading bay our 75mm speed bumps can indicate to large lorry's that they should reverse no further.  Even in car parks it can be used to indicate to drivers that they should pull no further forward to prevent the car from coming into contact with a wall or unseen obstacle.  Some of...
