Description & Benefits
The Highway 1 Speed Cushion is used as a traffic calming device and is very effective at slowing vehicle speeds without causing damage.

Many local authorities run into public opposition when installing speed humps or speed tables - the speed cushion is the solution. It's is small enough for emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances to straddle the width of the cushion without slowing but small enough to catch cars and light vehicles.

During the day the red colour of the cushion provides a visiual warning to slow down while at night the embedded reflective beads also provide excellent warning to the drivers.

Speed cushions are also often less costly than speed humps and speed humps while many cities around the world report them to be just as effective.Highway 1 Speed Cushions are made from recycled rubber tires which is lighter and easier and quicker to install than asphalt and concrete. The rubber sections can easily be removed without causing damage unlike their asphalt and concrete counterparts. Local authorities 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.
