Traffic studies conclude that a 3 mph reduction in vehicle speed can reduce the risk of accidents by at least 15%. Speed reduction doesn\u2019t just minimize the severity of impacts, it also increases the reaction time buffer\u2014helping drivers avoid collisions entirely and maintain pedestrian safe in the road and communities. Speed bumps help to reduce vehicle speed and keep people safe in high pedestrian traffic areas.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100\" src=\"https:\/\/unimat-traffic.com\/wp-mycontent\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimat-traffic.com\/wp-mycontent\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/unimat-traffic.com\/wp-mycontent\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-1-480x313.jpg 480w\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"326\" \/>\n\nOur products will give you total satisfaction and your roads will be safe and people as well, areas like parking lots and much more will be protected.\n<h2><strong>Traffic calming is a priority in our society<\/strong><\/h2>\nTwo of the most common forms of traffic calming are speed bumps and speed humps. These vertical obstacles are designed to slow down vehicles by creating mild discomfort.\n\nSpeed bumps are an abruptly raised area in the pavement surface that work best at controlling speeds in low volume traffic areas. If a driver ignores them and fails to reduce their speed, they will be met with a jolt as their tires hit the obstacle.\n\nSpeed humps are a milder form of vertical deflection with a longer traverse. Vehicles are encouraged to slow down to 10\u201315 mph, instead of a full stop. There are a variety of speed hump configurations used for traffic management including speed cushions, speed slots, and off-set speed humps.\n\nA bump in the road is not perfect for every traffic calming scenario. Obstacles work best when the driver knows they\u2019re coming and starts slowing down before arriving at their edge. Speed bumps and humps are usually well marked with contrasting colors or reflective surfaces to ensure visibility, but they also need to be installed in places where a driver can see them coming. A steep grade can also change the effective height of a speed hump or bump, and create more of an impact than is intended. Visibility can also be an issue in some winter climates where snowfall is deep and local streets go unplowed.\n<div><strong>Heavy Duty Rubber Speed Hump<\/strong><\/div>\n<table class=\"product_list\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>SKU<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<th>Length<\/th>\n<th>Height<\/th>\n<th>Width<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>SH2019I<\/td>\n<td>19.75\u2033 Speed Bump (1) 19.75\u2033 Section With no End Caps<\/td>\n<td>19.75\u2033<\/td>\n<td>2\u2033<\/td>\n<td>3\u2033<\/td>\n<td>48.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SH2121I<\/td>\n<td>10 Ft Single Lane Speed Bump (5) 19.75\u2033 Sections + (2) End Caps<\/td>\n<td>121.75\u2033<\/td>\n<td>2\u2033<\/td>\n<td>3\u2033<\/td>\n<td>273.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SH2240I<\/td>\n<td>20 Ft Double Lane Speed Bump (11) 19.75\u2033 + (2) End Caps<\/td>\n<td>240\u2033<\/td>\n<td>2\u2033<\/td>\n<td>3\u2033<\/td>\n<td>561.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SH2ECAL<\/td>\n<td>LEFT End cap<\/td>\n<td>11.5\u2033<\/td>\n<td>2\u2033<\/td>\n<td>3\u2032<\/td>\n<td>16.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SH2ECAR<\/td>\n<td>RIGHT End cap<\/td>\n<td>11.5\u2033<\/td>\n<td>2\u2033<\/td>\n<td>3\u2032<\/td>\n<td>16.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<em>Our rubber speed humps are made to slow down traffic in areas like parks, school zones, hospitals, and retirement communities.

Throughout the courses, children, among other things, learn the meaning of: pedestrian crossing, bus stop, direction required, forbidden direction, traffic light (what is, their implications in the passage of pedestrians, and others)\n\nIn this way they learn to differentiate all elements of public roads: sidewalk, curb and road, knowing where and how to cross.\n\nSpeed bump and speed hump, both are designed to address the ongoing problem of speeding. Both are usually made of rubber tires and constructed with a reflective tape to ensure maximum visibility. Installing these traffic control devices is a great way to reduce injuries. Many drivers will travel past and ignore the painted lines on surfaces and the stop signs, but these speed bumps and speed humps cannot be ignored by speeding drivers. These tactical insertions on the road promote awareness and make drivers sensitive to speeding consequences.\n\nFactors to consider:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Ensure Distance between speed humps is proper<\/li>\n \t<li>Speed hump configuration, meaning that speed humps can extend from curb to curb, or be staggered along different sides of the road, they should not be placed too close to an intersection, drainage, driveway<\/li>\n \t<li>Ensure vehicles cannot avoid or drive around the speed humps.<\/li>\n \t<li>Ensure proper signage, lighting, and visibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Speed Bumps<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpeed bumps are designed to reduce vehicle speeds to about 2-5 miles per hour. The goal is to slow vehicles down to a minimum or even to a halt. It\u2019s an aggressive approach to reduce speeding. If your parking lot or facility has issues with motorists ignoring STOP signs, placing a speed bump before the STOP sign can be a very effective solution to enforce a motorist to stop. Speed bumps are normally installed eight feet before a STOP sign.\n<h3><strong>Speed Humps<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpeed humps, on the other hand, are designed to reduce vehicle speeds to about 10-15 miles per hour. If you want to slow vehicles down but still allow for continuous traffic, speed humps provide a \u201csofter\u201d approach to reducing vehicle speed than speed bumps.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97\" src=\"https:\/\/unimat-traffic.com\/wp-mycontent\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimatindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-4.jpg 393w, https:\/\/unimatindustries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Speed-Humps-traffic-4-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/>\n\nSpeed bumps\u00a0are abrupt raised areas, typically 2\u20133 inches high with a travel length of 12 inches, that can be comfortably crossed at speeds of 5 miles per hour or less. Crossing at higher speeds can cause significant discomfort for the vehicle\u2019s occupants. Because speed bumps require an immediate and dramatic slowdown, they are often considered to be a liability risk on public streets and other roads where higher speeds are allowed. If you need a speed-control solution for\u00a0low-speed areas, such as parking lots, garages, and low-traffic private roads, speed bumps would be a good option.\n\nSpeed humps\u00a0are designed to slow vehicles while maintaining traffic flow, with a gentler rise and a lower peak height. Their design allows drivers to cross comfortably without sudden braking, allowing traffic to flow smoothly while still controlling speed.\u00a0Speed humps are ideal for entertainment venues that accommodate large volumes of traffic, and they are also recommended for residential streets with speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less. If you need a solution for\u00a0higher-speed areas where smooth traffic flow is essential, consider opting for speed humps.\n\nMaintain a safe pedestrian environment by slowing down vehicle traffic with our 6\u2032 Speed Bump.
