Which Speed Hump is best for me?
Speed humps are essential for slowing traffic and improving safety—but choosing the right material can be tricky. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide between steel, rubber, and plastic speed humps based on your needs.
Steel Speed Humps Built for: Heavy-duty environments like warehouses, industrial sites, and busy roads. Advantages: Extreme durability — Handles frequent heavy vehicles. Long lifespan — Galvanised or powder-coated for rust resistance. Secure install — Bolted down for maximum stability Considerations: Higher upfront cost (but long-term value).
Plastic Speed Humps Built for: Residential driveways, private roads, temporary setups, or light commercial use. Advantages: Lightweight & low-cost – Easy to install and move. Weather-resistant – Doesn’t rust or corrode. Customisable – Various colours and modular designs available. Considerations: Not suitable for heavy vehicles. Can wear or crack faster. Must be securely anchored. Which One Should You Choose? Steel: For long-term, high-impact industrial use. Rubber: For a flexible, quieter option in community or retail settings. Plastic: For low-traffic zones or temporary installations. Choosing the right speed hump helps manage traffic flow, protect pedestrians, and extend site longevity. Need help picking the right one?
