What is a speed table?

Short answer

A speed table is a flat-topped raised section of pavement, about 3–4 in tall and 22 ft long including its ramps, that holds traffic at 25–30 mph. It is a public-street device built by a paving crew. For a private lot, HOA drive or yard where the target is 5–10 mph, a bolt-down rubber speed bump at $260–$660 per 12 ft lane does the job in 30 minutes.

When a table is the right call

On a public collector street with a bus route, at a mid-block crossing, or anywhere the city needs 25–30 mph rather than a stop. Tables need municipal approval, engineering, drainage review and striping — they are not a property-manager purchase.

When a bump is the right call

Private property: parking lots, apartment and HOA drives, campuses, truck yards, driveways. No permit, no contractor, no cure time, and you can unbolt and relocate it if traffic patterns change.

Frequently asked

What is a speed table?

A speed table is a long, flat-topped raised section of pavement — typically 3 to 4 inches high with a flat top of 10 feet or more and ramps at each end, giving a total length of about 22 feet. It holds traffic at 25–30 mph and is often used as a raised crosswalk.

Speed table vs speed hump vs speed bump?

Length sets the speed. A bump is 12–15 in of travel and forces 5–10 mph. A hump is 10–14 ft and forces 15–20 mph. A table is 22 ft+ with a flat top and forces 25–30 mph. Shorter device, lower speed.

What does a speed table cost?

A poured asphalt or concrete table is a construction project: typically several thousand dollars per location once you add crew mobilization, materials, striping and cure time. A bolt-down rubber bump is $260–$660 per 12 ft lane in materials and installs in 30 minutes.

Can I install a speed table on private property?

You can, but it rarely makes sense. Tables exist to keep buses and emergency vehicles comfortable at 25–30 mph on public collectors. Private lots and drives want 5–10 mph, which is what a bolt-down bump delivers at a fraction of the cost.

Do you sell speed tables?

No. We stock bolt-down rubber speed bumps in a 2.4 in heavy-duty and a 3 in modular profile. If your speed target is 10 mph or less — nearly every parking lot, HOA, campus and yard — that is the device you want.

Are raised crosswalks the same thing?

A raised crosswalk is a speed table with crosswalk markings on the flat top, so pedestrians cross at sidewalk level. Same geometry, same 25–30 mph target speed.
