SPEED BUMPS
Rumble strips are grooves or rows of raised pavement markers placed perpendicular to the direction of travel to alert inattentive drivers. As a vehicle passes over the rumble strips, noise and vibration are produced, alerting the driver they are approaching a hazard. In the past few years, rumble strips along the edge of major highways have become very popular.
The Process:
- Raised rumble strips are installed by painting strips of thermoplastic traffic marking paint in the desired pattern. This paint is extremely thick, and two to three coats can create the desired effect.
- Grooved rumble strips are made by milling away strips of the pavement in the desired pattern.
Special milling equipment is needed for either process. Ask your Pavement Network professional for a recommendation on Rumble Strips.
