Rubber speed breakers are favored for several reasons:

1. Shock Absorption: Rubber speed breakers are flexible and can absorb the impact of vehicles passing over them, which can reduce wear and tear on vehicles compared to more rigid speed bumps.
2. Easy Installation: They are relatively easy to install compared to concrete or asphalt speed bumps, often requiring only basic tools and adhesive.
3. Temporary or Permanent Use: Rubber speed breakers can be temporary or permanent fixtures, making them versatile for different traffic management needs.
4. Visibility: They are often painted with reflective materials to enhance visibility, especially at night or in low-light conditions, improving their effectiveness in slowing down traffic.

5. Low Maintenance: Rubber speed breakers typically require minimal maintenance compared to other materials like concrete or asphalt. They are resistant to weathering, UV exposure, and oil or chemical spills.
