Speed Bumps That Last
Speed bumps are an important addition to any trafficable area that requires motorists to slow down or maintain a reduced speed limit for the safety of other motorists and pedestrians. There are several different types of speed bumps available; however, many of them do not last very long at all. Metal, rubber, or plastic are best suited only to a concrete surface, as these use anchors to fasten them. Asphalt speed bumps are suited to every type of surface. In high-traffic areas they often become loose and are dislodged from the road surface, specially with heavy vehicles. Eventually, these sections will fall out and require replacement. Metal speed bumps also become very noisy with age, and rubber and plastic can wear down in high-traffic areas. Asphalt speed bumps are bonded permanently.
Metal, plastic and rubber speed bumps are more costly to purchase in sections, with fasteners and time consuming to install.
Durable Speed Bumps
At Southside Bitumen Driveways, I can construct quality, long-lasting asphalt speed bumps for any area. I apply a special Bitumen bonding agent to the area first. Hot Asphalt is then used to form up the shape, because these are created onsite they can be made to any size you may require.
- Each Asphalt speed bump is rolled and compacted twice during construction using a pedestrian roller and not a vibrating plate.
- Widths from 400 to 500 mm are typically used for a speed bump and up to three metres wide for a raised pedestrian crossing.
- Asphalt speed bumps can also be constructed on uneven ground, have no weight limits, and have a permanent lifespan.
- All speed bumps need to be highly visible. We paint all speed bumps in yellow crosshatching.
