Street Defender Curb
Product Description
RubberForm’s modular Street Defender system prevents “street takeovers” or “sideshows” from shutting down public intersections. Without intervention these street car exhibitions can cause traffic accidents, damage to property, injury, and even death for those driving or watching. Using the same rugged rubber curbs we use to protect bus and bike lanes, you can prevent street takeovers while allowing normal traffic to flow.
Our curbs are simple to install: no heavy equipment, no road closures, no large crews. And they’ll last decades, enduring all the heat, cold, rain, ice, snow, and heavy traffic you can throw at them.
Specifications:
- 4”H x 12”W x 36”L 31 lbs each
- Easy installation and transportation with built-in hand grips
- High load-bearing capacity
- Reusable and built-to-last
- Made in the USA with 100% composite material.
Product Description
Most “street takeover” and “sideshow” prevention has focused on police presence. But it’s possible to deter these dangerous demonstrations even when police aren’t present. Our Street Defender curb system makes it much more difficult to perform dangerous stunts at public intersections without impeding normal traffic.
RubberForm’s Street Defender Curbs outperform and outlast any alternative. They won’t chip, warp, or spall. They’re simple to install, remove, or relocate as needed. This is especially helpful for preventing street takeovers, because locations and layouts needed to prevent them are always changing. They require little to no maintenance, and they’re fully modular: if for some unthinkable reason one section fails, it’s easy to replace.
Our curbs are made from heavy-duty 100% American recycled composite material. That means they’re designed to endure heavy traffic, searing heat, frigid cold, and extreme weather: wind, rain, ice, and snow.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
What color stripes do you have for your Bus Lane Curb?
What are other uses for your Bus Lane Curbing?
How do you mount on a municipal street?
We have a few mounting kit systems for our Bus Lane curb depending on the environment. Lag bolts, shields and washers with rubber caps in Stainless steel, zinc plated or special 2-part epoxy mounting system. Each Bus Lane curb has 3 mounting positions, connected with our universal dog bone. Our End cap, has 2 mounting positions, connected with our universal dog bone to hold straight and in position. Mooring spikes are not to be used under no situation and will void the warranty.
I have not seen these bus lane curbs in America, where have they been used?
RubberForm developed this bus lane in 2019 for the City of Indelopis INDYGO Redline. We designed, engineered, built a mold and delivered 7,000 curbs in less than 5 months. We made the delivery however the contractor did not follow our specific mounting instructions and the curbs failed. IndyGo as well as the contractor did not allow our engineering team to fully engineer this first release for IndyGo’s Redline. Since 2019 we engineered it right and we now have a dedicated bus lane curb ready for deployment. Proper mounting hardware is needed to hold in position to withstand the punishment of municipal traffic. Strategically placed in road reflectors and flexible road post are needed as well to warn oncoming traffic, Bus Lane curbs are in use. RubberForm is the only US manufacture of this type of product, a dedicated Bus Lane Curb.
