RUBBER SPEED HUMP

A rubber speed hump is a traffic calming device designed to slow down vehicles in areas where speed reduction is necessary for safety reasons. It is typically made from high-quality rubber materials, which are durable, weather-resistant, and capable of withstanding the weight of vehicles passing over them.

The main purpose of a rubber speed hump is to encourage drivers to reduce their speed and maintain a safe speed limit in specific locations, such as residential neighborhoods, school zones, parking lots, or areas with high pedestrian traffic. By creating a gentle rise and dip in the road surface, the speed hump causes vehicles to slow down gradually, promoting safer driving habits and reducing the risk of accidents or collisions.

Rubber speed humps are often preferred over other materials, such as concrete or asphalt, due to their ease of installation and versatility. They can be easily installed or removed as needed, making them suitable for temporary traffic management or construction zones.

The rubber construction of speed humps also provides some cushioning effect for vehicles and reduces the impact on the vehicle's suspension when driving over them at appropriate speeds.

To ensure proper effectiveness and safety, rubber speed humps are typically marked with reflective strips for better visibility, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
