When it comes to installing traffic calming near schools or parks, getting the location right is everything. Poor placement can backfire, creating blind spots, failing to reduce vehicle speeds, or even increasing driver frustration without improving safety. Councils, facility managers, and even P&C groups know

Not every council site needs a full-sized speed hump. Some locations call for something less aggressive but still effective. Whether it's a shared driveway, a laneway behind a community centre, or a car park next to a childcare facility, using the right traffic calming product

Council owned roads carry a unique responsibility. They are not just for traffic. They often run through parks, sports precincts, community hubs and residential zones. But here’s the issue.

When councils take on a multi-site traffic calming project, ordering speed humps, rumble bars, and wheel stops in bulk is often the most cost-effective route. But here’s the catch, it only works if the order is structured properly. Too often, we see councils place fragmented

When it comes to traffic safety, councils are under constant pressure to improve outcomes with limited budgets, community expectations, and ticking clocks. That’s why at Speed Humps Australia, we offer free site assessments to councils across the country. These assessments are practical, fast, and no-obligation—but

Talk is cheap. Data is useful. But sometimes, nothing beats a photo. When it comes to reducing speeding, improving safety, and calming traffic in strata complexes, decisions are often guided by feedback, incident reports, and resident complaints. But in this post, we’re taking a different
