## 2. Pricing model
- Price drivers, in order: profile (2.4 in HD costs more per foot than 3 in modular), lane width, quantity (pallet and container pricing past ~10 lanes), anchor type, and LTL freight to the destination ZIP.
- Comparison: a single poured asphalt speed hump costs $1,500-$3,000+ per location including contractor and cure time; a speed table $3,000-$8,000+; a speed cushion $2,000-$6,000+.
- Used speed bumps rarely save money: worn rubber, missing hardware, no warranty, and freight costs the same, so cost per remaining service year is usually higher than new.
- Terms: purchase orders from companies, 3PLs, HOAs, school districts, universities and municipalities.

## 3. Kit sizing
Formula: center modules = (lane width in inches - 20 in) / module length, plus two 10 in end caps per lane.
Example: a 12 ft lane is 144 in. 144 - 20 = 124 in of body, filled with three 39 in modules (117 in) plus one 20 in module trimmed to fit.
An interactive kit builder is on the home page and a cost calculator at /guides/speed-bump-cost-calculator.

## 4. Installation
Time: two people, about 30 minutes per 12 ft lane.
Tools: hammer drill with masonry bit, impact or torque wrench, chalk line, blower or brush, safety gear.
Steps:
1. Position the modules across the lane, square to traffic, end caps flush to the curb.
2. Mark every bolt hole through the rubber onto the pavement.
3. Hammer-drill each hole to anchor depth and blow out the dust.
4. Set the anchors and torque the heads flush so nothing catches a plow or sweeper.
Maintenance: re-torque anchors after the first 30 days, then annually; replace individual modules rather than the whole run; refresh reflective bands every 2-3 years in high-sun states.

## 5. Placement and spacing
- Parking lots: 150-250 ft apart.
- Private roads / HOA streets: 250-500 ft apart per ITE traffic-calming practice.
- Keep 25 ft clear of stop bars, crosswalk stop lines and turning movements.
- Loading docks: place on the approach lane 75-150 ft before the apron and at yard entrances; never inside the backing area or a trailer swing path.
- Schools: ahead of the crossing, not on it; keep ADA accessible routes and fire lanes clear.
- Signage: MUTCD W17-1 (Bump) and W17-2 (Hump).

## 6. Device comparison
| Device | Height | Length | Target speed | Typical cost | Permit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed bump | 2-4 in | 12-15 in travel | 5-10 mph | $260-$660 / 12 ft lane | No, on private property |
| Speed hump | 3-4 in | 10-14 ft | 15-20 mph | $1,500-$3,000+ poured | Yes, public streets |
| Speed table | 3-4 in | 22 ft+ flat top | 25-30 mph | $3,000-$8,000+ | Yes |
| Speed cushion | 3-4 in | 6-7 ft, split pads | 15-20 mph | $2,000-$6,000+ | Yes |
| Rumble strip | < 1 in | ridge band | alert only | low | Varies |

## 7. Materials
- Recycled rubber: 8-12 year service life, absorbs impact, modular replacement, removable and relocatable.
- Plastic: 2-4 years, cracks in UV and cold, cheapest up front.
- Asphalt or concrete poured hump: 5-10 years, needs a contractor and cure time, cannot be relocated, expensive to remove.

## 8. Permits and compliance
No permit is required on private property: parking lots, HOA private roads, campuses, warehouse yards and driveways. Public rights-of-way require municipal approval and, in most cities, an engineering study plus MUTCD-compliant signage.

## 9. Buying process
1. Send lane width (in feet or inches), number of lanes, pavement type (asphalt or concrete), the heaviest vehicle crossing, and the destination ZIP.
2. We reply within 24 business hours with the recommended profile, kit contents, unit price, LTL freight and lead time.
3. Order on a purchase order or prepayment; kits ship from US stock.

## 10. Common questions
Q: How much do rubber speed bumps cost? A: $260-$520 per 12 ft lane for the 3 in modular profile, $360-$660 for the 2.4 in heavy-duty profile, plus freight.
Q: What is the difference between a speed bump and a speed hump? A: The bump is short (12-15 in of travel) for 5-10 mph on private property; the hump is 10-14 ft long for 15-20 mph on public roads.
Q: Can a forklift cross a speed bump? A: Yes, over the 2.4 in steel-plate profile; taller profiles shock the mast and load.
Q: Will a loaded tractor-trailer flatten it? A: No, the steel-plate profile is rated to 176,000 lb axle load.
Q: Do you ship nationwide? A: Yes, LTL freight to all 48 contiguous states, with pallet and container pricing on volume.
Q: Is there a warranty? A: 5-year warranty on commercial-grade recycled rubber.

## 11. Installed cost
Labor to install a bolt-down kit: two people, about 30 minutes per 12 ft lane, so $0-$120 in-house or $150-$400 with a hired crew. Anchors are included with the kit, so total installed cost is $260-$920 per lane for the 3 in profile and $360-$1,060 for the 2.4 in profile, plus LTL freight. A poured asphalt hump is $1,500-$3,000+ per location installed and cannot be relocated; a concrete speed table $3,000-$8,000+.
Asphalt bid breakdown per location: mobilization $500-$900, hot mix and tack coat $150-$400, labor and compaction $500-$1,200, striping and signage $150-$400, plus 1-2 days of lane closure and cure.

## 12. Dimensions
Speed bump height 2-4 in; travel length 12-15 in. Our 2.4 in profile has 13.8 in of travel; our 3 in profile has 15 in. Width is built to the lane from 39 in and 20 in modules plus two 10 in end caps. Speed hump 3-4 in over 10-14 ft; speed table 3-4 in over 22 ft+; speed cushion 3-4 in over 6-7 ft split pads; rumble strip under 1 in.

## 13. Anchoring
Asphalt uses spike anchors; concrete uses expansion or sleeve bolts; pavers use sleeve bolts into the base. A 12 ft lane takes 10-14 anchors. Heads are torqued flush. Re-torque after 30 days, then annually. Removal is unbolt and patch the holes.

## 15. Signage
Speed bumps use MUTCD W17-1 (BUMP); speed humps use W17-2 (HUMP), usually with an advisory speed plaque. Post the sign 100-200 ft in advance of the device and at each property entrance, with the bottom of the sign 7 ft above the pavement in walking areas (5 ft rural). Signs are not federally mandated on private property but are standard practice and are what insurers look for. We supply the bumps, not the signs.

## 16. Crossing speed
Speed bump 5-10 mph (2.4 in profile 6 mph, 3 in profile 10 mph); speed hump 15-20 mph; speed table 25-30 mph; speed cushion 15-20 mph. Length of travel, not height alone, sets the comfortable crossing speed. Crossed at design speed a bump does not damage vehicles; crossed fast it accelerates shock, bushing and tire wear.

## 17. Adjacent devices we do not sell
Speed tables (3-4 in over 22 ft+, poured, 25-30 mph), speed cushions (3-4 in split pads 6-7 ft long for fire routes, 15-20 mph) and wheel stops / parking blocks (about 6 ft long, positioned inside a parking stall) are described on our guides for comparison only. We stock bolt-down recycled rubber speed bumps in two profiles.

## 18. Plastic vs rubber
Plastic speed bumps are cheapest up front and typically last 2-4 years, cracking at the bolt holes from UV embrittlement and axle load. Recycled rubber lasts 8-12 years at $260-$520 per 12 ft lane, which is lower cost per year in every case we price. We stock recycled rubber only, with a 5-year commercial warranty.

## 19. Does it work
A raised device forces a slowdown at the point it is installed (speed bump 5-10 mph). FHWA and ITE traffic-calming literature reports meaningful reductions in 85th-percentile speeds at bumps and humps. The reduction fades between devices, so spacing governs the outcome: 150-250 ft in parking lots, 250-500 ft on private roads. Signs and radar displays depend on voluntary compliance; raised devices do not.

## 20. Getting one installed
Public street: city or county traffic-calming program, resident request or petition, speed and volume study, approval and funding, commonly months to over a year. Private property (parking lots, apartment and condo drive aisles, HOA-owned roads, campuses, industrial yards): no municipal petition needed, order and bolt down, about 30 minutes per 12 ft lane with two people and a hammer drill.

## 21. Common objections
Noise comes mainly from braking, acceleration and unanchored units; anchoring and placement away from stop points and windows resolve most of it. Emergency access: consult the fire marshal on marked fire-response routes and keep required clear width. Snow removal: unbolt the modules for the season, about 20 minutes per lane, reinstall into the same anchor holes. Liability: standard height, reflective bands, MUTCD W17-1 signage 100-200 ft ahead and a dated install record.

## 22. Alternatives
Speed hump 15-20 mph, speed table 25-30 mph, speed cushion 15-20 mph, rumble strips (alert only, no forced slowdown), radar speed-display signs (voluntary compliance, data collection), chicanes and narrowings. We supply bolt-down recycled rubber speed bumps only; the rest are listed for comparison.
