New Speed Bump Kits
10-11-2017
Speed bumps are a popular and practical solution to a range of traffic calming problems. From enforcing residential speed limits to reducing accidents in commercial or public areas, speed bumps can help protect both drivers and pedestrians. As we expand our already versatile speed bump range, let’s look at why these simple products make such a good traffic calming solution.
The benefits of speed bumps
The aim of speed bumps is to reduce speed often to as little as 5mph or 10mph. This can provide additional safety in areas that usually see high pedestrian footfall, especially areas with a high number of vulnerable pedestrians. Typically, this includes the elderly or children who are much more at risk from misjudging distances and crossing roads at a slower pace. In these areas, a reduced speed limit can introduce some vital added security that could help to reduce accidents.
Speed bumps can also help to reduce speed limits in areas where vehicle collisions might be more likely. This could be in areas with high traffic volumes of cars that are going at slower speeds or in other residential areas where a road might be especially dangerous. Tight bends and low visibility streets benefit the most from a speed bump solution, as well as roads where vehicles often break a residential speed limit and collisions occur.
Compared to their ‘softer’ speed cushion and speed hump cousins, speed bumps are a less gentle option that are perfect for areas where a low speed limit is essential to safety. Speed bumps can also be used together along a part of a road, a whole road or even an entire area that requires reduced speed. This helps to ensure that a lower speed is kept to consistently, reducing the chances of accidents and collisions from sudden speed changes in areas of considerable risk.
Where you might use speed bumps
A speed bump solution can be ideal for many situations, but you will typically see them used in the following areas:
Outside schools, leisure centres and other public areas where more vulnerable people might be at risk.
In residential areas where families and other at-risk people may often be walking.
In areas where cars often break a residential speed limit.
Indoor and outdoor car parking spaces where a high volume of usually slow-moving vehicles are at risk of collisions with those breaking the speed limit.
