One thing is sure to us as the technical team at Speed Humps Australia: the Australian climate is harsh on infrastructure. Traffic calming devices must be robust, given Queensland bitumen’s high heat, Canberra’s cold overnight temperatures, and coastal towns’ salt air exposure.
Following are the differences between a short-term solution and a long-term solution for wheel stops, rumble bars, and speed bumps.
Material Selection Matters
Rubber Recycle and UV-Stabilized Polythene
- Since they absorb impact better, won’t chip or crack like concrete, and structurally withstand heat cycling, we use only the best quality of recycled polythene and rubber.
- Everything is UV-stabilized to prevent brittleness and sun fading.
Durable Composite Structure
- We have internal reinforcement ribs in our flat-top humps and tyre stops to protect against compression or warping in high-use areas.
- Resistance to Salt and Chemicals
- designed for use in industrial environments and by the sea where water, salt, or oils can degrade lower-grade products.
- Harsh Environment Tolerances
Integrated Shock Absorption & Flex
- Our poly and rubber products slightly flex when under load to avoid cracking or becoming dislodged, unlike hard concrete substitutes.
- Proven by the Weather Across All States
- Today, our product is available in snow-covered inland towns, bustling airports, remote mining towns, and seaside shopping centers. We don’t sell it because we’ve learned what doesn’t work.
Built for Compliance, Backed by Warranty
- Complies with AS2890.1 and AS2890.3 parking and access standards
- Rated to withstand 100+ tonne loads (polyethylene flat-top humps)
- 5-year warranty on all major traffic calming products
