Speed Ramps and Their Uses

It is often noted that speed kills and that is why the special design of speed ramps have been introduced in many countries across the world. Ensuring that a vehicle slows down a considerable amount, so as not to damage the vehicle, is the aim of these ramps. They have been proven effective in decreasing speed and saving many lives on a daily basis. It is safe to state that our roads would be a lot more hazardous without these ramps.

Used especially in built up urban areas where traffic volumes as well as pedestrian volumes are high, speed ramps ensure safety for both motorists and pedestrians alike. When these ramps are placed at smaller intervals, speeding is almost impossible. Maintenance of the speed limit by all motorists is ensured and accidents are prevented. In areas where high volumes of pedestrians are constantly around, such as parking areas of businesses, shopping centres and housing complexes, these ramps are often a necessity. Accidents where children run into the road often happen, but the slower travelling speed of a car can prevent these accidents from being fatal. The speed ramp is well thought out road safety product which aims at slowing down the motorist and not deterring them from their usual routes.

Armco RSP manufacture these potentially life saving structures from recycled thermoplastic and they are available in different specifications. Heights of these ramps include 30 millimetre, 50 millimetre and 75 millimetre heights and weigh in at 6kg, 8kg and 12kg respectively.  Professionally designed, these ramps will not damage car tyres and the bright yellow colour will ensure that they are visible from afar to warm motorist to slow down. This assists motorists to not have to break uncontrollably.
