There are several devices to encourage motorists to reduce their speed, particularly in a straight line and particularly in urban areas. This is where speed bumps come in; they can limit the speed of vehicles on certain high-risk public roads or certain private roads such as car parks, shopping centers, industrial areas, logistics bases, etc.
Speed bumps Fresno for example offers you a range of speed reducers using the latest technology, approved and fully compliant with French standards. For more than twenty years, we have always been committed to responding appropriately to all the needs of our customers in terms of industrial and road safety by offering perfectly adapted solutions and providing personalized responses.
Role Of Road Speed Bumps
Generally, we call road or speed humps the different types of raising of a roadway to force a vehicle to reduce its speed. The elevation of the roadway is approximately 5 to 10 cm and most often occupies the total width of the roadway. Thus, it can measure from a few centimeters to several meters long.
When the circulation of vehicles at more than 30 km/h presents a danger for other users, especially for pedestrians, the installation of speed bumps is then necessary for these places, such as places where the passage of pedestrians is preponderant, around schools Intended to ensure the safety of pedestrians and car traffic, the speed bumps play their role of controlling the roads near sensitive areas.
From Speed Bumps To New Devices
While the speed bump, commonly known as the “recumbent policeman,” is the oldest and most common speed bump, other more sophisticated, innovative, and state-of-the-art devices have emerged. These are perfectly adjustable speed bumps, rubber speed bumps, and concrete speed bumps. Visible day and night thanks to their retro-reflective feature or their integrated grooves, they are very easy to install and can be installed on all types of substrates, whether concrete floors, asphalt bituminous, or other. Likewise, they are also easy to remove.
Flexible, these new speed bumps adapt to the ground’s surface and do not undergo any deformation following the frequent passage of vehicles. It is also possible to put the end of the element to end to form very long speed bumps.
