Speed Bumps - Traffic Safety Management

Speed Bumps

Modular Traffic Calming System for Domestic and Commercial Environments

The Speed Bump system is a modular traffic calming solution designed to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety across car parks, service yards, warehouses and access roads. Available in 50 mm and 75 mm height profiles, the system provides effective speed control for both light and heavy vehicle applications, helping to create safer environments for drivers, pedestrians and operational activity.

Manufactured in the UK from durable recycled PVC thermoplastic, these speed bumps are engineered for long-term performance in demanding environments. Their modular construction allows for flexible installation across a range of layouts, making them suitable for both new developments and retrofit projects.

Designed for Effective Traffic Calming

Managing vehicle speed is critical in environments where pedestrians, vehicles and operational equipment interact. The Speed Bump system is specifically designed to reduce vehicle speeds to approximately 10 mph, encouraging controlled driving behaviour without disrupting site operations.

The dual height configuration allows the system to be matched to the level of traffic and vehicle type:

• 50 mm height – suitable for domestic vehicles and light commercial vehicles (LGVs)
• 75 mm height – designed for heavier traffic including HGVs and industrial vehicles

This ensures appropriate speed reduction across a wide range of applications.

Modular System for Flexible Installation

The Speed Bump system is supplied as a modular kit, consisting of mid and end sections that can be configured to suit specific site requirements.

Typical configuration includes:

• Mid sections – 500 mm wide with 4 M12 fixings per section
• End sections – 250 mm wide with 2 M12 fixings per section

The modular design allows installations to be adapted for:

• Narrow access roads
• Wide vehicle routes
• Car park layouts
• Warehouse traffic lanes
• Service yard entrances

Standard kit lengths range from 3000 mm to 6000 mm, with custom smaller or larger configurations available to suit site-specific layouts.

High Visibility Design for Driver Awareness

Each speed bump features a vibrant yellow and black five-bar checker pattern, providing strong visual contrast against road surfaces. This high-visibility design ensures drivers can clearly identify the speed bump in both day and night conditions.

Integrated silver reflectors are incorporated into each section, further enhancing visibility in low-light environments such as:

• Early morning and evening operations
• Indoor warehouse environments
• Poor weather conditions
• External car parks and service yards

This combination of colour contrast and reflective elements improves driver awareness and supports safer vehicle movement.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Performance

Manufactured from recycled PVC thermoplastic, the Speed Bump system is designed to withstand repeated vehicle loading and environmental exposure.

Material benefits include:

• High impact resistance
• Long-term durability under traffic load
• Resistance to cracking and deformation
• Suitable for internal and external use
• Sustainable material composition

The moulded and compressed construction ensures consistent quality and reliable performance across all installations.

Installation on Tarmac and Concrete Surfaces

The system is designed for installation on both tarmac and concrete substrates, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.

Each section is secured using M12 fixing anchors, ensuring a stable and secure installation even in high-traffic areas.

Fixing details include:

• M12 coach screws with washers
• Nylon rawl plugs for secure anchoring
• Pre-formed fixing holes for accurate installation

This allows for efficient installation while maintaining strong long-term fixing performance.

Pedestrian-Friendly End Sections

End sections are designed with a domed, tapered profile, reducing trip hazards and allowing safer pedestrian movement across traffic-calmed areas.

This makes the system suitable for environments where both vehicles and pedestrians interact, including:

• Car parks
• Retail environments
• Warehouses
• Public access areas

The design ensures that safety is maintained for both vehicle operators and foot traffic.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Environments

The Speed Bump system is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications where vehicle speed control is required.

Typical applications include:

• Car parks and parking facilities
• Warehouses and distribution centres
• Industrial service yards
• Retail and commercial premises
• Access roads and site entrances
• Loading bay approach areas
• Business parks and logistics hubs

The dual height options ensure the system can be tailored to match the operational demands of each environment.
