Service overview

Safer speeds where it matters

Traffic calming reduces vehicle speeds in areas where pedestrians, children, cyclists and vehicles share space. Speed humps, speed cushions and supporting signs and markings encourage drivers to slow down at entrances, crossings, parking areas and residential streets.

We supply and install modular speed humps, handle enquiries for constructed speed humps, recommend speed cushions where they are appropriate and repair or replace existing units. Every location is different, so we look at the road width, surface, vehicle types, drainage and visibility before recommending a measure.

On public roads, traffic calming must be approved by the relevant road authority. On private property, we help you choose a solution that suits the site and the vehicles that use it.

Planning your project

Choosing the right traffic calming measure

Residential, commercial and industrial applications

Residential estates need gentle, consistent speed control near homes and play areas. Commercial sites focus on pedestrian safety in parking areas, while industrial sites must allow for trucks, forklifts and heavy vehicles. The application determines the most suitable measure.

Vehicle types and site suitability

Emergency vehicles, buses, trucks and low-clearance vehicles may all use the same road. The chosen measure and its profile must suit the vehicles using the site. We do not apply one fixed hump height or profile to every site; the design depends on the location and its users.

Drainage and surface considerations

Speed humps can affect how water drains across a road. We consider existing drainage, the road camber and the surface condition so that water is not trapped. The surface must also be suitable for fixing modular units securely.

• Road surface type and condition
• Existing drainage channels
• Kerbs and road edges

Visibility, signage and installation planning

Drivers must be able to see the calming measure in time. Warning signs, markings and good placement help prevent damage and accidents. Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with temporary traffic arrangements where required.

Combining speed humps with signs and markings

A speed hump works best when drivers know it is there. Warning signs before the hump and markings on the hump itself improve visibility, especially at night. We recommend the supporting signs and markings for each location.

Maintaining traffic calming measures

Modular speed humps can loosen or be damaged over time, and markings fade. Regular inspection of fixings and visibility keeps your traffic calming measures safe and effective. We can replace damaged sections and remark humps when needed.

FAQs

Are modular speed humps suitable for our estate?

Modular humps suit many private roads and parking areas. We assess the road width, surface and vehicles before recommending them.

Do you supply the warning signs and markings?

Yes. We supply and install associated warning signs and road markings.
