Temporary speed bumps

Content reviewed 2026-11-02

Short answer

Temporary speed bumps fit traffic problems that last days or months: events, construction detours, school pickup windows or a seasonal lot. They must still be secured so they cannot slide, marked and signed like permanent devices, and removed or relocated as soon as the traffic pattern changes. If the problem lasts all year, bolt them down.

When temporary is the right choice

Use temporary devices to test a layout before committing, to protect workers during a project, or to control traffic only part of the year. A trial of a few weeks also shows residents or tenants how the device feels before a vote.

Checklist before installing

Confirm the surface is clean and dry, the device cannot slide under braking, ends do not block drainage, a warning sign is placed before it, and someone owns the job of inspecting and removing it. Construction work zones on public roads must follow MUTCD Part 6.

Frequently asked

Do temporary speed bumps need to be anchored?

Yes, in almost every case. A loose bump slides under braking and becomes a hazard.

Can I use them in a construction zone?

On private sites, yes with signs. On public roads, follow MUTCD Part 6 and the agency's permit.

How long can a temporary bump stay?

As long as it is maintained, but if it stays all year a permanent bolt-down install is safer and cheaper to look after.

Can I reuse them?

Rubber modular sections can usually be relocated if anchors and holes are handled properly.
