Overview
Speed tables are flat-topped speed humps and are generally long enough for the entire wheelbase of a passenger car to rest on top. The design of speed tables allows for more gradual slowing of vehicle speed than humps. This makes speed tables the ideal solution for roads with typical residential speed limits.
Features and Benefits
ITE standards and specifications
Traffic Logix Speed Table measures are prefabricated to conform to traffic calming safety standards and specifications outlined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Unlike concrete and asphalt solutions that contract with heat and from vehicle pressure, rubber solutions maintain these specifications continuously.
Rubber
Traffic Logix Speed Tables are made from recycled rubber tires. Rubber is lighter and easier to work with than asphalt and concrete, significantly minimizing the number of hours that need to be invested to install the solutions. Rubber pieces can be pulled up and moved without being destroyed. This is convenient for municipalities that want to institute temporary measures to test an area and is also a safety measure so that products can be stored during the winter to prevent snow plow damage. Unlike concrete and asphalt which necessitate frequent and high cost replacement, rubber products are long lasting and cost-efficient. In addition to long term benefits, rubber products offer a quick, easy way to install solutions when timing is key.
Easy installation
Traffic Logix Speed Tables are simple to install. They are secured with anchors and bolts and can therefore be removed and relocated to an alternate street when needed. This feature is beneficial when a municipality would like to test a street or the product. Each product panel is significantly smaller than (less than half the size of) other similar units manufactured by other companies. Smaller panel size results in easier installation, less complicated removal, and more convenient storage. Panels do not require skilled labor to install, which produces greater savings for municipalities. The installation process is also designed to always allow one lane of the road to be open, thereby avoiding unnecessary street closures.
Molded Reflective Tape
Each Traffic Logix panel is embedded with highly reflective tape. This tape is a safety feature to ensure that drivers can clearly see the panel both during the daytime and at night. Traffic Logix uses this tape on its products instead of paint since paint often fades away within months and the reflective tape can last for several years. Tape is available in several color choices. Highly reflective cat's eyes can be installed on any device for further enhanced visibility.
Environmentally Friendly Design
Traffic Logix Speed Tables are made from recycled rubber tires. This ensures that while products address community health and safety needs, they are also friendly to the environment. An additional benefit of the product’s green design is that it can help municipalities obtain funding for the products since many areas have a budget allocation for recycled products.
