What's the Difference Between Rubber and Plastic?

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
