These installations are often added at pedestrian crossings or other high-traffic areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed bumps and humps are vital elements of property safety, but they cannot be installed willy-nilly. Every state, including Maryland and the DC area, has specific guidelines and regulations for traffic installations. Therefore, before contacting a professional to install a speed bump on your commercial property, make sure you are aware of the requirements of these safety features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Differences Between a Bump and Hump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While adding a speed bump or hump will help reduce driver speed, each device will affect the speed in different ways. Understanding how you want to control speed will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliance-foundry.com\/blog\/speed-humps-vs-speed-bumps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">determine <\/a>whether a speed bump or hump is required.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A speed bump is used to reduce a vehicle&#8217;s speed dramatically. The height of the bump plays a role in speed reduction. Because bumps are effective for quick speed reductions, they are best installed in high-foot traffic areas, like pedestrian crossings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed humps do not work as quickly as bumps and are less of a shock to the driver. Humps work by slowly rocking the vehicle over the obstacle. Commercial parking lots do not always require humps, but if a complex is large enough, it can mimic a residential area, where humps are most effective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Permanent Installation or Temporary Deterrent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does your facility need: a permanent installation or a temporary deterrent? If permanence is what you are after, look into asphalt speed bumps and humps. If a temporary fix is all you&#8217;re after, check out our rubber options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your speed bump or hump needs, <a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/contact\/\">NVM Paving &amp; Concrete<\/a> has you covered.
