Speed Bumps

Speed bumps are one of the most effective ways to prevent vehicles from exceeding the signposted limit. You can deploy them on driveways into industrial estates, in car parks at shopping centres, or in motorway service stations to ensure that vehicles do slow down, which is especially important in areas with a mix of vehicle and foot traffic. Made from a variety of materials, including recycled rubber and PVC, they are easy to install and maintain, offering instant impact on vehicle speeds.
