In
the past several years, rubber traffic calming solutions have been
rapidly growing in popularity in the US. While initially viewed as a
way to test streets before installing asphalt devices, rubber products
are being used by more and more cities as a permanent solution to
speeding traffic.
Many engineers and public works professionals involved in traffic calming are familiar with rubber speed humps, tables, and cushions for temporary applications. But what many of them are still learning is how effective rubber can be as a long-term, effective solution for residential streets. Traffic Logix rubber solutions are specifically designed to be used on a permanent basis. They are engineered to perform without deforming, are sturdy, long-lasting, highly visible, and can withstand large traffic volumes continuously. In fact, rubber solutions have several notable advantages over asphalt. |

Rubber
solutions are premolded and preshaped so that they meet ITE standards.
This also ensures that they are easier to install, eliminating the need
for excessive time in shaping the devices during installation. They do
not require skilled laborers. In addition, the preshaped devices ensure
conformity on all streets, which is an important factor in motorist
acceptance. It is easier for drivers to grow accustomed to driving over
traffic calming measures when they are consistently shaped. Traffic
Logix rubber products are also easier for motorists to see,
particularly at night, since the markings are made of highly visible
highway tape.
Unlike asphalt devices, rubber solutions are a long-term investment. If roadwork is being done or a road is being repaved, rubber solutions can simply be removed and reinstalled. This is of particular value in the snowbelt area where devices can be removed each winter to avoid snowplow damage. |

In addition, studies have shown that rubber deteriorates at a slower rate than asphalt so that your investment lasts longer even if you don’t need to remove the devices. With the rising costs of oil and asphalt, rubber is continually becoming a more competitively priced solution. Coupled with their effectiveness, ease of installation, and long life, it is little surprise how many cities are choosing rubber as a permanent solution. |
