Parking Lot Safety Solutions
Parking structures are universal and can be found worldwide. From schools to hospitals, shopping centers to grocery stores; many of us use them daily, but often, take safety in these areas for granted. Since we are driving at such low speeds, we think accidents are unlikely to occur, and as such, we tend to forget our safe driving habits.
In fact, parking facilities are one of the likeliest places for fender benders to occur. 1 out of 5 accidents occur in your parking lots! (According to data from Independent Insurance Agents of America and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

With the high levels of activity and traffic in parking lots, both drivers and pedestrians are at risk. These facilities, whether public or privately owned, must ensure adequate measures are taken to prevent automobile accidents. The larger the size lot, the more measures are needed to guide traffic and pedestrian safety.
Parking lots, often located on private property, are not patrolled by public officials. Many drivers are thus not inclined to follow and obey traffic signs or signals. This affects property owners and managers who now have a difficult task of enforcing safe driving behavior. If adequate traffic control is not implemented, they can be held accountable for some accidents that do occur. |

Our products were specifically designed to address speeding and dangerous driving behavior in parking facilities. Our highly-visible devices, such as the Easy Rider Speed Bump and Safety Rider Mini Hump, force drivers to travel at minimum speeds. Awareness and reaction time increases, helping to reduce the risk of potential accidents for both drivers and pedestrians.
Why Rubber and Plastic?

What's the Difference Between Rubber and Plastic?
Both our rubber and plastic parking products are great portable solutions; however, some unique differences exist between the two:
|
Our Rubber Parking Products:
-
Are extremely flexible, allowing the product to mold to the contours of virtually and road surface
-
Include in-molded reflective highway tape in various colors to enhance visibility, especially at night
-
Are resistant to breaking, warping, cracking, chipping, and rotting |
 |
|
Our Plastic Parking Products:
-
Are a great economical solution
-
Are very lightweight - reducing freight and labor costs (for installation)
-
Are available in a variety of uniform solid colors (i.e. yellow, white, blue, or gray) - color will not fade or peel |
 |
What About Concrete or Asphalt?
Traditional speed bumps, speed humps, and parking stops are made of concrete or asphalt materials. These devices pose several disadvantages:
-
Break, crack, and chip = high replacement costs
-
Causes damage to vehicles
-
Not highly visible
-
Speed bumps and speed humps are permanently installed on the road surface; they cannot be moved or relocated easily without extended road closures and added expense
-
High labor costs for installation
-
Parking stops are heavy and may require high freight costs depending on shipping location |
