Rubber Speed Cushion SH268 | Modular Traffic Calming for Emergency Vehicles

Rubber Speed Cushion SH268 — Smart Traffic Calming for Shared Roads

The Roadsidesafe SH268 Rubber Speed Cushion is an advanced traffic calming solution specifically designed to slow down passenger vehicles while allowing larger emergency vehicles (like fire trucks and ambulances) to straddle the cushion without significant delay. This makes it the ideal choice for emergency transit routes, bus lanes, and high-traffic residential boulevards.

Modular Flexibility & High Visibility

Constructed from high-density vulcanized rubber, the SH268 system consists of large interlocking modules that form a wide "cushion" profile. The black and red (or yellow) color scheme provides a clear visual warning to drivers, while the embedded reflective elements ensure safety during night-time operation.

Key Features

• Emergency Vehicle Friendly: Width and profile allow wider-axle vehicles to pass over with minimal impact.
• Modular Construction: Easy to assemble and replace individual sections if damaged.
• Heavy-Duty Bearing: Rated for high-frequency traffic and heavy vehicle loads.
• Vibrant Color Contrast: Black and Red modules create high visual impact for approaching traffic.
• Superior Impact Absorption: Rubber material reduces noise and vibration compared to concrete or asphalt humps.

FAQ

Q: How does a speed cushion differ from a standard speed hump?
A: A speed cushion is wider and has tapered edges on all sides. It covers only part of the lane width, allowing vehicles with wider wheelbases (like trucks and buses) to pass over it with one or both wheels on the flat road surface, while forcing standard cars to slow down.

Q: Is professional installation required?
A: While the modules are heavy, installation is straightforward using standard road anchors. We provide a detailed layout guide for each configuration.
