At a time when inflation and supply chain issues are driving up the cost of everything from gasoline to groceries, Traffic Safety Direct is doing our part to help our customers save money on traffic safety products. While we cannot control much of what happens in the marketplace, we are always looking for ways to bring down costs and work with suppliers and vendors who offer reasonable pricing.

Recycled rubber and plastic wheel stops are an economical and durable safety solution for both commercial and home use. Traffic Safety Direct is introducing a new line of wheel stops made in the USA from 100% compounded recycled plastic and scrap tire rubber composite. Because they have achieved USGBC LEED Certification, these products are ideal for “green” businesses that are committed to meeting sustainability goals.

From now through Labor Day, our Clearance Sale features a range of traffic safety products – all at 50% OFF regular price. We purchased another supplier’s inventory of GNR Technologies and Checkers products – including curb stops, wall protectors and speed hump items – and we need to liquidate our stock to make room for new fall merchandise.

Controlling traffic speed in a private community or commercial parking lot is a challenge. A first step would be the installation of signage. Another action that can be taken is to install an impediment in the road to reduce the speed of vehicular traffic to an appropriate level.

Two impediment options commonly considered to maintain an appropriate traffic speed are to install a Speed Hump or a Speed Bump. The question then becomes, what is the difference between these two options.

Rubber speed humps safely slow vehicle speed while maintaining traffic flow. This can be a crucial requirement on private community roads and commercial parking lots to reduce risk of traffic accidents.
