Product Description

Most traffic calming methods are awfully inconvenient. They’re loud, can damage vehicles, are difficult to install, require demolition to remove, and the concrete or asphalt they’re made of chips, cracks, and crumbles into uselessness over time.

Our RubberForm Speed Humps are blessedly convenient. They’re easy to install: no large work crews, no heavy equipment, no road closures. They’re also just as simple to remove and relocate. That means you can use them for temporary traffic calming, or keep them in place permanently.

Our speed humps are gentler than speed bumps, perfect for roads or parking lots that only require a little calming. They won’t damage vehicles and don’t create much noise or disruption. Our speed humps are fully modular, which means you can link them together to span any width of road or parking lot. They’ve even got reflective material for visibility at night, in fog, or other low-visibility conditions.

We innovate every day to improve our speed humps, which is why they have special tapered end caps that minimize the possibility of pedestrians tripping and allow vehicles crossing the hump to maintain their wheel direction without the “drop-off” and sudden jerk that often accompany steeper graded traffic calming devices. We think it looks pretty snappy too, which is not something you hear much about anything associated with road safety.

Our 100% American recycled thermoplastic humps will last for decades without chipping, warping, or spalling. They can withstand all the searing heat of the summer sun and the frigid cold of North American winters. They can withstand the heavy impact of vehicle traffic and all the rain, ice, and snow seen on American roads

In addition to these speed humps, we also offer Rubber Speed Cushions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What style, size speed bumps and speed humps do you manufacture?

RubberForm has the most complete, leading and most diverse traffic calming product line in the USA. We offer our MLSB (Multi-Link Speed Bumps) and RK Speed Bumps and Speed Humps Product Lines. MLSB2.5 speed bump is a 2-½” high by 36” long with 2 ATTSA yellow reflectors, which will slow traffic to 5 to 10 mph. Our MLSB3 speed bump is a 3” high by 36” long with bright yellow reflector strip, which will slow traffic to 5 mph. The most aggressive speed bump on the market is our MLSB4 which is 4” high speed bump that will slow traffic to about 2 to 5 mph, and most of time, to a complete stop. You will need to make sure you have appropriate vehicle ground clearance for this 4” high speed bump. Our RK speed bump and speed hump product line we offer 3 products, all sections are 24” long so they can be sectioned together for any road/lane width needed. The RK-10 speed bump is a 1-7/8” high x 10” wide x 24” long section with end cap sections. Our RK-18 mini speed hump is a 1-7/8” high x 18” wide x 24” long section with end cap sections and the RK-36 speed hump is a 1-7/8” high x 36” wide x 24” long section with end cap sections.

How are your speed bumps, mini speed humps and speed humps anchored down?

We offer a lag bolt mounting system consisting of a lag bolt, lag shield (both plastic and metal), and washer to anchor into pavement or concrete. There are 4 anchor holes for our MLSB product line in each speed bump. For temporary situations, you can just simply lay the MLSB down or moor them in place with our GRK’s RSS™ Rugged Structural Screw. For our RK Series speed bump and speed humps, there are 2 to 4 anchor holes for each 24” long section.

Can your speed bumps and humps be installed on a gravel road?

Yes, our MLSB traffic calming product line, with a 24” rebar spike or recommend gravel earth anchor screw can be purchased from RubberForm. These spikes and earth anchor screws will need to be checked periodically to make sure they have not crept up to create a hazard.

What is the reflective material on your speed bumps and speed humps?

RubberForm uses AASHTO approved yellow reflectors, 2 on our RF-MLSB2.5. On our RF-MLSB3 and RF-MLSB4, we use 3M reflective yellow tape. We have found this to be a far more durable solution than the fabric road tape that many other manufacturers use. If our reflector breaks in our RF-MLSB2.5, they can easily be replaced and if the reflective tape wears off, we have replacement reflective strips available.

Are these speed bumps removable, i.e., can they be moved to a new location or taken up for the winter season and where snowplows are used?

Yes, if you need to remove them for the winter, just unbolt or unscrew the bolts/screws and store for the season. Seal the holes with ChemLink or any silicone-based material so water, dirt and rocks do not get lodged in the holes.

How long are your speed bump/speed hump sections?

Our line of RF-MLSB traffic calming speed bumps are compression molded in 36” long sections that connect with a dovetail, allowing you to create the length you need. Our RK line, are both compression and injection molded in 24” long section that connect with a special dog bone connector to make as wide as needed.

What is the rubber material your speed bumps and speed humps are made of?

We have custom-formulated the right material for hard traffic over many years of use. Our MLSB line uses a masticated recycled rubber, which is harder and more durable than virgin clay-filled rubber or crumb rubber and poly compounds. Our RK series uses tire buffing’s with a special formulated poly binding material.

What is the turnaround time for your speed bumps and speed humps?

Our speed bumps and speed humps are generally in stock and can be shipped out the following day. Larger orders (greater than 100 units) may take a little longer - please provide us enough time to manufacture and let us know when you will need delivery.

Are your speed bumps and humps truly made in the USA?

RubberForm is the only true U.S. manufacturers of rubber speed bumps and speed humps. They are made from domestically sourced scrap tire rubber, green-rubber and tire buffing’s manufactured and assembled in the U.S. We believe that this is the only way to maintain our high standards of quality control. https://www.acplm.net/5-things-didnt-know-speed-bumps/ https://www.muni.org/Departments/traffic/Documents/Humps%20vs%20Bumps%20FAQs.pdf
