Speed Humps

Speed Humps – Traffic Solutions by Southland

At Southland, we understand that managing vehicle speed and improving safety on roads, car parks, loading zones, and pedestrian access areas is critical. That’s why our category of speed humps and traffic calming devices is designed to deliver effective speed reduction, clear visual deterrence and robust durability for Australian conditions.

Why Choose Speed Humps for Road and Carpark Safety

Speed humps are an essential component of traffic control in built-up areas. They help to:

• Reduce vehicle speed in high-risk zones such as loading bays, exit and entry points, staff car parks and pedestrian crossings.

• Enhance workplace safety by encouraging drivers to slow down and increasing awareness of pedestrian activity.

• Comply with site safety requirements and align with road and car park design standards.

• Provide cost-effective traffic calming compared to major structural changes.

By selecting the right speed hump solution, you promote safer site operations and mitigate the risk of vehicle-pedestrian incidents.

Our Speed Hump Range – Sizes, Materials & Applications

At Southland we offer a comprehensive range of speed humps and modules to suit a variety of settings. These include:

Materials & Construction

• Heavy-duty rubber modules: ideal for car parks and light commercial traffic where durability and low maintenance are required.

• Steel speed humps: designed for heavier traffic environments and high-wear applications.

• End-cap modules and transition pieces: to create smooth, safe transitions at the ends of humps and protect edges.

Sizes & Modular Options

• Standard modules (e.g., 500 mm body modules, 250 mm economy modules) allow flexible installation lengths.

• Custom widths, heights and colours are available to match site-specific requirements and visual impact.

• Colour-coding (yellow, black, high-visibility yellow) for increased driver awareness and compliance with safety signage.

Application Areas

• Site roads, private access roads and industrial estates.

• Commercial and retail car parks.

• Pedestrian crossings and zones near offices, schools or communal facilities.

• Loading docks, warehousing environments and manufacturing sites.

When selecting a speed hump product, consider factors such as expected traffic volume, vehicle type, site gradient and local speed reduction requirements.

How to Select the Right Speed Hump for Your Site

Choosing the right traffic calming device is key to effective safety outcomes. Here are some aspects to consider:

• Height & profile: A higher hump will slow vehicles more, but must still allow safe access for emergency vehicles and be compliant with local guidelines.

• Length & width: Ensure the module covers the full lane width and integrates smoothly with the surrounding pavement or asphalt.

• Material suitability: In heavy-duty or high-load areas (e.g., trucks, forklifts) steel or heavy rubber modules may be more appropriate; in light car park settings, economy rubber modules can suffice.

• Visibility: A colour-contrasted or high-visibility speed hump increases driver awareness and reduces non-compliance.

• Fixing & installation: Proper anchor bolts or mechanical fixings are essential for long-term performance, especially in high-traffic or harsh weather conditions.

• Maintenance and replacement: Modular designs make it easier to replace individual sections rather than the whole hump.

At Southland, we can help you navigate these considerations and choose the best speed hump solution—whether for a new installation or retrofit in an existing car park or road environment.
