School & campus speed bumps

School drop-off and pickup lanes need a 3-inch modular rubber speed bump targeting ≤ 10 mph, placed before the loading zone and before every marked crossing — not on it. Bolt-down kits install over a weekend with no cure time, cost about $260–$520 in materials per 12 ft lane, and can be paired with W17-1 Bump signs and advisory speed plaques for a documented safety program.

3-Inch Modular Rubber Speed Bump

Pickup lanes are cars, buses and the occasional service truck at low speed — the 3 in modular kit gives the strongest deterrent without punishing a school bus.

Protect the crossing, keep it accessible

Bumps go ahead of a marked crossing so drivers are already slow when they reach it; the crossing itself and every ADA route stay flat and clear.

Bus and service-vehicle friendly

3 in over a 15 in ramp is firm for cars and manageable for buses and maintenance trucks at posted campus speeds.

Installed between terms

No paving, no cure time — facilities staff can install the whole campus on a Saturday and reopen Monday.

Frequently asked

Where should speed bumps go in a school pickup lane?

Place them at the campus entrance and roughly 100–150 ft before the loading zone, always ahead of a marked crossing rather than across it, and never inside an ADA accessible route or a fire lane.

Are speed bumps safe for school buses?

Yes at the 3 in profile with a 15 in ramp, crossed at 10 mph or less. For yards where loaded trucks turn, use the 2.4 in heavy-duty profile instead.

Can a school district buy on a purchase order?

Yes. We invoice districts, universities and municipalities against a PO and can split delivery across multiple campuses on a single order.

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.
