Turning to renewable resources, rubber speed bumps are now being produced from 100% recycled materials in a wide array of choices that have revolutionized the convenience of establishing safety in parking lots, private roadways or driveways, at events such as trade shows, conventions or fairs, virtually anywhere there is a need to calm traffic. They are as durable as they are versatile with added features such as cable protection, reflective stripes, and lightweight flexibility.

Environmentally friendly rubber speed bumps are making effective use of the otherwise burdensome accumulation of old rubber tires and plastic bottles thus relieving the landfills of these non-biodegradable items. Use of these materials produces durable, cost effective speed bumps capable of being joined together to accommodate varying lengths for the purpose of slowing traffic. There are also items that can be constructed with channels designed for cable protection to help preserve cords, hoses and expensive cable systems while protecting pedestrians from the obvious trip and fall hazard.

Most revolutionary is how these rubber speed bumps will last indefinitely as they are made of a material that will not crack, splinter or chip the way their asphalt and concrete counterparts do. Installation and removal is made easy as they are lightweight and flexible and come with galvanized steel hardware for holding them in place on concrete or asphalt. This facilitates an easy one-man job of placing them or removing them for upkeep or maintenance of the grounds.

The cable protection products may have an open top style in highly visible safety-yellow that is molded in with UV protection, or they can be channeled on the bottom to allow for lines to run underneath them. This makes them non fading and non-peeling.

The rubber composition in the speed bumps that makes them naturally want to lay flat also makes them a safe, non-conductive material that is also capable of withstanding heavy loads. Easily adapted, they may be joined together to adjust for the desired length. Adding end caps rounds them off making the appearance of rubber speed bumps clean and uniform.

Using recycled material means no new raw materials are being pulled from the earth. Their appearance offers a more attractive quality to any environment that doesn’t diminish or degrade over time. The highly reflected taped that is molded in remains highly visible and effective.

The ability to channel the molding for cable protection is another example of how modernizing an old stand-by can revolutionize the way business is handled. More safety, more convenience, more attention to environmentally friendly methods makes them a sensible choice.

Installing rubber speed bumps saves on the time, labor, materials and related equipment necessary to do the job. As there is no need for paving equipment, rubber is a safer and easier alternative. Over time, rubber proves to be a longer lasting material that is impervious to the same use and weather conditions that tend to cause traditional materials to require repair and replacement.
