Rubber speed breakers are favored for several reasons:
- 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.
- Easy Installation: They are relatively easy to install compared to concrete or asphalt speed bumps, often requiring only basic tools and adhesive.
- Temporary or Permanent Use: Rubber speed breakers can be temporary or permanent fixtures, making them versatile for different traffic management needs.
- 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.
-
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.
