8 reasons our speed cushions work efficiently as traffic calming devices

1. Prevent over-speeding: Our speed cushions have a raised surface. So, whenever a vehicle drives over them, the driver must reduce its speed from 15 to 20 miles per hour (mph) to have a smooth driving experience. It helps slow-down speeding vehicles, control traffic volume, and reduce vehicular crashes.
2. Improve road safety: Over-speeding is one of the major causes of road accidents. With our speed traffic-management tools, you can reduce traffic speed and the number of accidents and associated fatalities around a work zone, roundabout, motor vehicle, cut-through, two-way road, school zone, or slow zone.
3. Maintain emergency response time: Some speed control tools like speed humps, speed breakers, and speed bumps reduce the emergency response time of emergency vehicles, that’s why the department of transportation avoids their installation on ambulance routes.
   However, with our speed table, you can easily dodge this issue and maintain emergency response time. The longitudinal spacing between two speed cushions allows ambulances, fire trucks, and other long-axle vehicles to drive without speed reduction.
4. Less discomfort to drivers: Our rubber speed cushions are tough yet flexible. They produce less impact on vehicles and help reduce discomfort for drivers.
5. Produce less traffic noise: As mentioned earlier, rubber is a soft and flexible material compared to concrete, asphalt, and plastic. Hence, our rubber speed cushions help reduce traffic noise that’s generally high when vehicles drive over concrete road bumps or plastic speed humps.
6. Suitable for various surfaces/places: The surface of our rubber products can mold itself according to the road surface. So you can use them in various places, such as a traffic intersection, roadway, pedestrian crossing, unmarked crosswalk, pedestrian zone, or school crossing, to meet your traffic safety needs.
7. No speed reduction for the cyclist, bicyclist, or motorist: Cyclists or bicyclists can easily avoid speed cushions and keep riding without reducing their vehicle’s acceleration.
8. Drainage: Our speed cushions don’t block rainwater like a speed bump or speed hump. They let the water reach drainage channels without any hindrance. You can use other traffic control tools like stop signs, traffic signals, pavement markings, speed signs, traffic cones, rumble strips, or bollards with our traffic cushions to take the performance of your traffic safety programs to the next level.

What are Speed Cushions?

They are an effective traffic control tool having a raised section that slows down speeding vehicles. Like other tools such as traffic barriers, wheel stops, road markings, traffic signs, road signs, or street signs, their purpose is also to control speed, direction, and volume of traffic.

Speed cushions are known by many names in the market, including speed tables, speed lumps, and road cushions.

The federal highway administration installs them preferably on emergency vehicle routes where they cannot use other tools like speed bumps due to their negative effect on emergency response time.

Speed cushions are available in the market in different sizes. You should select the one that best meets your traffic control needs.

They are found in variable materials like recycled plastic, concrete, asphalt, rubber, etc. Among these, rubber is considered the most economical, durable, and low-maintenance material. It is suitable for different places like pedestrian crossings, roadways, streets, and parabolic parking lots.

Experts suggest you should consider the following factors when purchasing a speed table:

• Dimensions: You can find these tools in several sizes. If you need a longer speed cushion, we suggest you choose our 3-meter-long speed cushion; otherwise, our 2-meter-long speed cushion is perfect for all situations and places.
• Material: Choose vulcanized rubber over other materials because it is long-lasting; does not fade over time; is resistant to UV radiations; is economical.
• Design and structure: Each country has different speed cushion design regulations. You should learn about local regulations to select a tool that best suits your area’s needs. We produce speed cushions for different countries according to their guidelines and standards.
• Installation method: Speed cushions that are installed directly to the surface and do not require excavation are better than the ones that require digging. The good thing is our speed cushions can be fixed directly to the road surface within a few minutes without causing prolonged traffic disruption.
• Manufacturers: If you need speed cushions in bulk, it is better to buy them directly from their manufacturers, like the Speed Cushions Factory. It will help you save money and time.

We suggest you install warning signs, traffic control signs, regulatory signs, or speed limit signs before speed tables to warn drivers and pedestrians of their presence. It will help drivers adjust their speed beforehand.
