Speed Bumps for Parking Lots, Truck Yards and Loading Docks

Speed bumps are short raised profiles that slow vehicles to walking pace in parking lots, yards and docks. The 2.4 in profile is rated for up to about 10 mph and the 3 in profile for up to about 5 mph. Anchor every section for the surface, and space bumps to the speed you want.

How do you install rubber speed bumps?

Clean the surface, use anchors for asphalt or concrete, fasten every pre-drilled hole and finish with end caps.

What is the difference between a speed bump and a speed hump?

A bump is short and abrupt for 5-10 mph areas; a hump is longer and gentler for public streets.

How far apart should speed bumps be?

Spacing depends on target speed and lane length; closer spacing holds lower speeds.
