What is a Rubber Speed Bump?
A rubber speed bump, also known as a rubber speed hump or rubber traffic calming bump, is a raised structure placed on roads to slow down and control vehicle traffic. Rubber speed bumps must be manufactured according to traffic safety standards to prevent accidents. Non-standard rubber speed bumps can cause traffic hazards.
Rubber speed bumps should include reflective (retroreflective) materials for night visibility. In rubber speed bump models, this is typically a thermo-applied reflective film to ensure durability.
Where Are Rubber Speed Bumps Used?
Rubber speed bumps are commonly installed in:
- School zones
- Open and closed parking lots
- Urban roads
- Traffic enforcement stations
It is essential to position speed bumps correctly and install warning signs beforehand to notify drivers. Lack of proper signage can lead to traffic accidents.
How Are Rubber Speed Bump Prices Determined?
The price of rubber speed bumps depends on the following:
- The type and amount of rubber material used
- The weight and density of the speed bump
- The quality of the rubber compound
Features of Rubber Speed Bumps
- Made using rubber derivatives, offering flexibility.
- Equipped with glass bead reflective film for visibility at night.
- Reflective film is securely attached using thermo (heat) adhesive to prevent peeling.
- Available in various sizes such as 50×40 cm, 50×50 cm, 50×60 cm, 50×33 cm.
- Designed in modular pieces, allowing them to be combined into a complete set.
- Weight varies depending on rubber density; for example, a 50×40 cm bump weighs at least 5 kg.
