The Smarter Way to Slow Down: Why Rubber Speed Humps, Cushions, and Tables Are the Gold Standard in Traffic Calming
By Transportation Solutions & Lighting (TS&L)
When it comes to creating safer streets, traffic calming isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. At TS&L, we’ve made it our mission to lead the charge in traffic calming solutions across communities, campuses, municipalities, and private developments. With decades of experience in the traffic industry, we know what works. And when it comes to slowing vehicles, enhancing pedestrian safety, and reducing liability, there’s no better solution than rubber speed humps, cushions, and tables.
Why Traffic Calming Matters
Speeding vehicles aren't just a nuisance—they're a danger. Whether it’s a neighborhood, a school zone, a shopping center, or a hospital campus, speeding compromises safety for everyone. Traffic calming strategies aim to physically change driver behavior by encouraging slower, more cautious driving. This isn't theory—it’s proven practice.
Our Niche: Rubber-Based Traffic Calming Solutions
Not all traffic calming tools are created equal. Traditional asphalt or concrete speed humps are permanent, inflexible, and costly to install or remove. That’s why TS&L specializes in rubber speed humps, cushions, and tables—flexible, modular, and engineered for performance.
1. Rubber Speed Humps
Perfect for parking lots, private roads, and residential areas, rubber speed humps are designed to reduce vehicle speeds to around 10–15 mph. They’re easy to install, can be removed for maintenance or repositioning, and are made from recycled materials—making them an eco-friendly choice.
2. Speed Cushions
Speed cushions are ideal for emergency vehicle access routes. With strategically placed gaps, they slow down passenger vehicles while allowing fire trucks and ambulances to pass without disruption. Cities love them. So do first responders.
3. Speed Tables
Wider and flatter than humps, speed tables offer a smoother transition for vehicles while still slowing them effectively. They’re perfect for crosswalks and high-traffic pedestrian areas. Rubber speed tables from TS&L are highly visible, ADA-compliant, and built to last.
