HOA boards & property management

HOA speed bumps

For an HOA, the practical choice is a bolt-down 3-inch modular rubber speed bump on private community roads: about $260–$520 in materials per 12 ft lane, installed by maintenance staff in 30 minutes, no municipal permit because the roads are private. Space them 150–250 ft apart on entry drives and near the amenity areas where children are, and pair each with a W17-1 Bump sign and an advisory speed plaque.

Recommended model

3-Inch Modular Rubber Speed Bump

Residential traffic is cars and delivery vans. The 3 in modular kit hits ≤ 10 mph, and if a plow clips one section the board replaces that module instead of the whole bump.

Height: 3 in
Center module: 39 in and 20 in
End caps: 10 in each
Width (travel length): 15 in
Target speed: ≤ 10 mph
Material: Recycled rubber, UV stable

Board-ready numbers

We send a per-lane quote with units, anchors and freight as one line item so it can be voted on and dropped into the reserve budget without a follow-up meeting.

Reversible decision

Bolt-down means the board can trial one location, measure the result and relocate — unlike poured asphalt humps.

Emergency access

Keep fire-lane clear width intact and coordinate placement with your fire district; bumps should never sit inside a marked accessible route.

Frequently asked

Can an HOA install speed bumps?

Yes, on privately owned community roads an HOA can install speed bumps without a municipal permit, subject to the governing documents and any fire-district access requirements. Public streets inside a subdivision require city approval instead.

How much do HOA speed bumps cost?

Roughly $260–$520 in materials per 12 ft lane plus freight. A typical community installing four locations budgets in the low four figures, with maintenance staff handling the bolt-down install.

Where should a community place speed bumps?

At the entry drive past the gate, before amenity areas such as pools and playgrounds, and every 150–250 ft along long straight runs. Keep them 25 ft clear of stop signs and turns.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Every kit is in stock in the USA and ships by LTL freight to all 48 contiguous states. Pallet and container pricing is available for volume orders, and freight is quoted to your ZIP code.
