Speed Bump Installation in Raleigh, NC & Surrounding Areas
The most commonly used device to slow down cars in parking lots is speed bumps. Speed tables have also become popular and are generally used along residential roadways. We’ve installed countless speed bumps over the years and have performed several municipal projects where we have installed speed tables on their residential roads.
Considering the Options
- Speed bumps are for low volume situations like parking lots, where cars move at a slower speed. Speed bumps are usually cheaper than other types of traffic calming devices.
- Speed tables are less abrupt and provide a more gradual rise and fall which makes them better suited for higher speeds such as secondary roads and residential neighborhoods and can allow slightly higher speeds. Speed tables are larger, and can be more costly as a result.
Some Do’s and Don’ts
It is important that speed bumps and speed tables are placed in obvious well-marked or well-lit places. You should stay away from bends or curves in the road or downhill grades. You also need to consider who will be using the road, such as handicapped or elderly individuals, or emergency vehicles or bicycles.
