With traffic bumps, you can encourage drivers to reduce their speed in parking lots, business premises, parking garages, and other relevant places. A properly placed traffic bump indicates that a lower speed is desired and can help create a clear traffic situation.
Our range includes various traffic bumps for professional use. Check the available options and select a traffic bump that suits the location, desired speed reduction, and the traffic using the route.
What are traffic bumps used for?
A traffic bump is placed on the road surface to physically slow down vehicles. Drivers must adjust their speed to drive comfortably over the bump.
Speed bumps can be used in the following locations:
business parks;
parking lots;
Parking garages;
business parks;
access roads;
private grounds;
logistical locations.
The suitable traffic bump depends on factors such as the desired speed, type of traffic, the substrate, and the conditions at the location.
Traffic bumps for business premises
In a business area, vehicles, vans, trucks,internal transport and pedestrians may come close together. A clear organization of traffic flows is therefore essential.
With traffic bumps in a business area, it is possible to encourage vehicles to reduce their speed in specific locations. For instance, consider areas around an entrance, parking lot, crossing, or other places where a lower speed is desirable.
Combine traffic bumps where necessary with traffic signs, markings and other facilities to alert drivers to the situation in a timely manner.
Traffic bumps for parking lots
Speed differences between vehicles can also lead to undesirable situations in a parking lot. Drivers navigate between parked cars and may encounter pedestrians unexpectedly emerging from between vehicles.
A traffic bump in a parking lot can be used to reduce speed at strategic locations. For instance, at the entrance, around a pedestrian route, or on a longer straight lane where drivers could otherwise gain speed.
When placing, consider the available space, direction of travel, and the type of vehicles using the parking lot.
Rubber traffic bump
A rubber traffic bump is a popular way to create a physical speed reducer. Depending on the system, the bump consists of separate components that together create the desired width.
The modular design can allow the length of the traffic bump to be adjusted to the width of the lane.
When choosing a rubber traffic bump, it is essential to pay attention to:
the size;
the recommended speed to pass;
the maximum pressure;
visibility;
the fastening system;
the suitable substrate.
Always check the product specifications to determine whether a particular model is suitable for your application.
Modular traffic bumps
A modular traffic bump consists of multiple parts that are mounted side by side. This allows the bump to be adjusted to the width of the respective lane.
Often, separate end pieces are also available to neatly finish the ends of the traffic bump.
Calculate in advance how many elements are needed for the desired total length and check which parts and fastening materials are necessary for the chosen model.
Which traffic bump do I need?
Not every speed limit has the same effect. The shape, height, and dimensions also influence how a vehicle approaches the bump.
Make sure to determine in advance what you want to achieve with the traffic bump and which vehicles need to drive over it.
When comparing traffic bumps, consider among other things:
Desired speed: to what speed should drivers reduce?
Dimensions: what is the width and height of the bump?
Length: how long is the lane on which the bump will be placed?
Load capacity: which vehicles use this route?
Material: which material is suitable for this application?
Visibility: is the bump clearly visible to approaching vehicles?
Substrate: is the bump installed on asphalt, concrete, or another type of substrate?
Fastening: what materials are required for the fastening?
Always check the technical specifications of the respective product.
What speed is associated with a traffic bump?
The appropriate speed varies depending on the traffic bumps. The shape and height of the bump influence the speed at which it can be passed comfortably.
Therefore, do not only favor the appearance of the bump. Ensure that you check for what speed the specific model is adjusted before purchasing.
For example, do you want to reduce the speed to about 5, 10, 15, or 20 km/h? Then choose a traffic bump whose characteristics match the desired situation.
Traffic bumps for heavy traffic
Not every traffic bump is suitable for the same load. Locations where only passenger cars operate have different requirements than areas where delivery vans or trucks also pass.
Therefore, check the maximum load capacity and the application for which the traffic bump is designed.
For a logistics area or business location where heavy traffic regularly passes, it is especially important to choose a version that is suitable for that.
Installing a traffic bump
Proper installation is essential for the functioning and lifespan of a traffic bump. The correct method of fastening depends on the type of traffic bump and the substrate on which it is placed.
Make sure to determine the desired position before installation. Consider the direction of travel, visibility, traffic flows, and sufficient space for safe braking.
Also, check whether there are pipes, drainage, or other facilities in or under the selected location that you need to consider during installation.
Always consider the installation instructions from the manufacturer and check what rules and requirements apply to the respective workplace.
Combining traffic bumps with other traffic facilities
A traffic bump is often an element of a broader structure of a site. Therefore, it is possible to integrate traffic bumps with other facilities for traffic, parking, and site management.
A traffic sign can inform drivers in advance about the desired speed, while markings and other facilities help in recognizing driving routes and various traffic zones.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about traffic bumps
A traffic bump is a physical elevation on the driving route. This requires drivers to adjust their speed to pass over the bump comfortably.
That depends on the desired speed reduction, the type of vehicles, the width of the lane, the substrate, and the location. Always check the technical specifications of the respective traffic bump.
There is no single ideal height for every situation. The height and shape of the traffic bump are related to the desired function and passing speed. Therefore, choose a product specifically suitable for the desired application.
Rubber traffic bumps are often modularly constructed. This allows the total length to be adjusted to the width of the driving lane. The exact properties vary by product.
That depends on the traffic bump and the fastening system used. Check the installation instructions to determine for which substrates the product is suitable and what fastening materials are required.
Choose a traffic bump whose allowed load and application are suitable for heavy traffic. Always check the technical data of the specific product.
In a modular system, this depends on the width of the lane and the length of the individual elements. Divide the desired total width by the effective width of an element and consider any end pieces.
