Interesting and Unusual Applications

Countless cities have used Traffic Logix interlocking units to create traditional speed humps, tables and cushions to slow traffic on their streets. But the flexibility of the units allows for construction in any size or shape and to meet any needs. And at Traffic Logix, we believe in working with our cutomers to help customize just the solutions they need. Here are some interesting installations recently created with Traffic Logix solutions:

Phoenix Mesa Airport
Lewes, Delaware
Enhanced Security
Segway
University of Delaware

Phoenix Mesa Airport
The Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport is designated as a reliever airport, intended to limit congestion at large commercial service airports. The airport is 3,020 acres and has an average of 769 flights per day. When the airport needed a solution to divert jet fuel during potential spills, they discovered Traffic Logix’ unique patented interlocking rubber solutions.
Traffic Logix created a custom solution using the modular rubber units. The 7 foot by 300 foot speed hump was installed between where the airplanes park and the terminal. In the event of a jet fuel leak, the hump would divert the fuel, giving the airport additional time to react to the spill. While there has not been a leak since the hump was installed, a water test was conducted and the solution worked in diverting it from the terminal area.

Lewes, DE

When the city of Lewes, DE wanted to use the Traffic Logix radar speed sign to slow traffic, they needed the trailer to be customized to their requirements. While the standard Traffic Logix radar sign has a yellow warning sign with black lettering, the city wanted a regulatory white sign with black lettering for use in their school zones. Traffic Logix manufactured the radar sign with the white regulatory sign to meet Lewes’ needs. The Traffic Logix radar signs are now available with yellow warning signs, white regulatory signs, and fluorescent yellow/green signs as well.

Enhanced Security

At military bases and government facilities, men and women work each day to ensure the safety and security of our country. While foriegn entry at these locations is prevented with gated barriers, it is often necessary to further slow potential intruders to allow security personnel extra time to intervene. At several such locations, Traffic Logix speed tables and humps have been used at the gates as a further impediment to intruders.

Some examples of facilities that have used Traffic Logix products as security enhancements are the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, and Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas.

Segway

Used in over 1,000 locations worldwide, police Segways are becoming an increasingly popular means for officers to patrol. A Segway is more efficient than a car or a scooter and is a zero emissions vehicle, which allows for indoor usage as well. Many law enforcement units are creating training programs to prepare police officers to use Segways. Traffic Logix rubber units were purchased by Segway to construct speed tables as a tool to train police to drive Segways.

University of Delaware

While the University of Delaware purchased traditional rubber speed humps from Traffic Logix, their application was not quite as conventional. Located right at the mouth of the Delaware Bay, the University road is currently one of only two routes to the Bay’s boat launch. Boaters rushing to reach the launch presented a speeding concern to University police, who installed several Traffic Logix rubber humps.
