Rubber Speed Humps for Traffic Calming

Rubber speed humps should be installed in a series to create ongoing traffic calming, typically placed mid-block or at intersection approaches on roads with low speed limits. TS&L's rubber speed humps are available in heights of 3 or 4 inches, most often used in 7 or 14 foot lengths, and can be customized to any length or road width in 18 inch increments for a speed hump installation sized to your site.

A rubber speed hump is a raised, parabolic device placed across the road to slow traffic without bringing vehicles to a full stop. Also known as road humps, they remain the most widely used physical traffic calming solution, calming traffic more gradually than a speed bump while working faster than a longer speed table. Speed humps are ideal for residential roads and are generally sized to bring speeds down to 10 to 20 mph.

Speed Reduction

A properly installed rubber speed hump reduces vehicle speed through the shape of the hump itself, not through signage or driver judgment alone. The parabolic profile is engineered so a vehicle traveling at the target speed passes over it with only a mild, controlled rise and fall. A vehicle traveling faster than the design speed feels a much sharper jolt, which is what actually changes driver behaviour over repeated trips down the same street. Height, length, and spacing are all tuned together during a speed hump installation to hit a specific target speed, typically 10 to 20 mph for standard rubber speed humps, so the same product can be configured differently for a school zone than for a wider residential connector road.

Rubber Speed Humps

Rubber speed humps, also called road humps or undulations, are typically used in areas where the posted speed limit is under 30 mph, such as local streets or connector roads where smooth flowing traffic is ideal but speeding would endanger pedestrians. A speed hump installation is common in school zones, near parks and playgrounds, and along residential streets where TS&L handles both new installs and full-corridor traffic calming plans.

Rubber Speed Humps usually span the entire lane that they are placed in so that a vehicle is forced to drive over them. A speed hump is mildly felt when a vehicle passes over it at the correct speed. If a vehicle is driving too fast, it can significantly jar the vehicle, creating a noticeably uncomfortable situation.

Rubber Speed Humps are designed in many lengths and profiles. The size used will depend on the location, and the different designs will determine how much discomfort is experienced in the vehicle. They are usually placed in series to maintain speed control throughout a long corridor, and the travel length itself typically ranges from 3-20 feet.

Rubber Speed Bumps

Rubber Speed Bumps are designed to be more aggressive and are used to reduce traffic to speeds between 2-10 mph. They are usually located in areas where vehicles and pedestrians are in closer proximity, such as parking lots or driveways. It is highly unusual to see a speed bump on a public road because they would seriously disrupt the flow of traffic. They can also damage vehicles that are traveling at otherwise normal road speeds.

Rubber Speed Bumps are usually two to four inches in height, but they have a much shorter travel length than speed humps. Like speed humps, they are typically placed in series, at intervals, to maintain speed reduction. Speed bumps often create an intense bounce in the vehicle. Because of their smaller size, a vehicle driving over the speed limit would experience uncomfortable jolts.

Frequently Ask Question

What is the difference between a speed hump and a speed bump?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
A speed hump is longer and lower, typically 7 to 14 feet long and 3 to 4 inches high, designed to bring vehicles down to 10 to 20 mph on residential and connector roads without a hard jolt. A speed bump is shorter and more aggressive, meant for parking lots and driveways at 2 to 10 mph, and is rarely used on a public road because it would disrupt normal traffic flow.
How are rubber speed humps installed?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
A rubber speed hump installation involves anchoring pre-molded rubber sections directly to the road surface with bolts, no excavation or asphalt work required. Sections interlock to span the full width of the lane, and a standard installation is typically completed within a day, well within TS&L's 24-hour onsite guarantee.
How much do rubber speed humps cost?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Cost depends on the length of the corridor, the number of humps needed to maintain consistent speed control, and the width of the road. Because rubber speed humps install without excavation, they typically cost less than asphalt alternatives to install and can be removed or relocated if a street's traffic plan changes.
Are rubber speed humps permanent, or can they be used as temporary speed humps?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Both. TS&L's rubber speed humps bolt directly to the road surface for permanent, long-term traffic calming, but the same modular sections can be removed and reinstalled elsewhere, making them a practical option for temporary speed humps at construction zones, special events, or seasonal traffic patterns.
How far apart should speed humps be spaced?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Spacing depends on the target speed and road length, but speed humps are typically placed in a series along a corridor rather than as a single unit, so drivers can't accelerate back to unsafe speeds between humps. A site assessment determines the right interval for a given street.
Do speed humps damage vehicles?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
A properly designed and installed rubber speed hump, taken at the correct speed, produces only a mild rise and fall, not damage. Vehicles that cross well above the design speed will feel a sharper jolt, which is the intended deterrent, but this is a different product and use case than a speed bump, which is more aggressive by design.
Are rubber speed humps ADA compliant?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
TS&L's rubber speed humps are designed and manufactured to current traffic calming standards, including ADA-relevant considerations such as reflective markings for visibility. Compliance specifics can vary by state and local code, our team confirms requirements as part of every speed hump installation project.
