How to Install Rubber Speed Humps
The 5 Steps of Rubber Speed Hump Installation
If you’re interested in installing rubber speed humps in your area, the process is relatively straightforward and can be accomplished in just five simple steps.
We break down what this process involves in our latest blog below.
Ideal Environments for Rubber Speed Humps
Rubber speed humps are ideal for a variety of applications, particularly in areas where traffic calming is a priority. These speed humps are perfect for:
These speed humps are designed to slow down vehicles and provide a safer environment for pedestrians and other motorists.
They are a great option for areas with strict noise regulations, as they are quieter than traditional asphalt speed humps. They are also durable and weather resistant, making them ideal for use in a range of different environments and climates.
Bolts and Washers
There are two different options for the kind of bolts used.
- Wedge Bolts – Use in concrete only. Install with a high-speed hammer drill with a 7/16′” masonry bit, and an impact wrench or heavy ratchet with a 3/4″ socket.
- Lag Bolts and Anchors – for tar, asphalt or concrete. Install with a high-speed hammer drill with a 3/4″ masonry bit and an impact wrench or heavy ratchet with a 3/4″ socket.
If you are using anchors, then insert them in each hole and tap with a hammer until flush with the surface. Then place the speed hump so bolt holes sit directly above drilled pavement holes.
For either kind of bolt use, insert each bolt with its corresponding washer through the designated holes. Once they are all in place, begin tightening them by hand starting until they are 3/4 of the way submerged. Start at the middle point of the speed hump and work outward. Finally, return to each bolt hole and use the appropriate tool to tighten them until they are snug. Do not over-tighten.
If you like, you can choose to add epoxy to the underside of the speed humps for additional durability and stability. The benefit of using anchor bolts, plugs, and epoxy is that it helps to securely attach the speed humps to the road surface for an extended period, with significantly more strength.

By purchasing high-quality speed humps from a reliable supplier and following these steps, you can be confident that you have made the area safer for both commuters and pedestrians.
