Speed humps are traffic calming devices designed to slow down vehicle speeds, improving safety in various environments. Here are the key uses and features of speed humps:

Uses

1. Residential Areas: Installed on residential streets to reduce vehicle speeds, ensuring the safety of pedestrians, particularly children.
2. School Zones: Used near schools to enforce lower speed limits and protect students.
3. Parking Lots: Helps control the speed of vehicles in parking lots, enhancing safety for both pedestrians and vehicles.
4. Commercial Areas: Installed in commercial complexes to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of visitors.
5. Hospitals: Used in hospital driveways and parking areas to ensure vehicles move at safe speeds, protecting patients and staff.
6. Industrial Sites: Helps manage vehicle speeds in industrial areas, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing workplace safety.
7. Urban Streets: Used in urban areas to calm traffic and enhance pedestrian safety.

Features

1. Material: Made from durable materials such as rubber, asphalt, or concrete, designed to withstand heavy traffic and various weather conditions.
2. Design: Typically features a rounded or parabolic design that gradually raises the vehicle, encouraging drivers to slow down.
3. Height and Width: Available in various heights and widths to control the degree of speed reduction, typically ranging from 25 to 100 mm in height and 300 to 900 mm in width.
4. Reflective Markings: Often equipped with reflective strips or embedded reflectors to enhance visibility during night and low-light conditions, increasing safety.
5. Modular Sections: Some speed humps are modular, allowing for easy installation, removal, and customization of length based on specific needs.
6. Installation: Can be installed using bolts, adhesives, or embedded directly into the road surface, ensuring stability and durability.
7. Color: Usually available in high-visibility colors such as yellow and black to alert drivers and improve safety.
8. Drainage Channels: Some designs include built-in channels to allow for water drainage, preventing pooling and maintaining effectiveness in wet conditions.
9. Versatility: Suitable for various applications, from temporary installations in construction zones to permanent fixtures in residential and commercial areas.
10. Maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance due to durable construction, with periodic inspections to ensure effectiveness and safety.

Installation

• Preparation: The surface should be clean, dry, and stable before installation. Proper alignment and spacing should be ensured to achieve the desired traffic calming effect.
• Methods: Depending on the type, speed humps can be installed using bolts, adhesives, or by embedding them into the road surface. Modular sections can be bolted together for longer lengths.
• The Middle Sections are 500mm in Length. You will need two body sections to make 1 metre.
