Q. Why do we need a speed bump?
A. Speed bumps are the most effective devices for reducing vehicle speeds.
50,000 children are hit each year, often receiving serious brain injuries.
Q. Which pedestrians are most likely to be involved in
a collision?
A. Children under the age of 16 are most likely to be struck by motor vehicles.
Q. What is the advantage of a portable speed bump?
A. With a portable speed bump traffic control is maintained on a "as
needed and where needed basis". For example, school zones can use
the speed bump during school hours but not have it deployed during the
summer months when not needed.
Q. What size is the speed bump available?
A. The Traffic Guard comes in two standard lengths, 10 feet and 20 feet.
Q. How do I transport the speed bump?
A. The Traffic Guard has two methods of transportation available:
The hand truck – this method allows an individual to wheel the speed
bump to any location where needed. To deploy on the road, remove the retaining
strap and tilt the hand truck in the direction of where the operator wishes
to place the speed bump. To remove from the road, grab the hand truck
by the handle and pull the speed bump unit off the road. Once off the
road grab the last pad and roll the speed bump pads onto the hand truck
for storage. This option offers easy transportation and is less expensive
than the previous option.
Bag Unit – this method is more compact. Using the hand carry bag
allows the user to take the speed bump and use it anywhere it is needed.
For example, traffic officers can use them at an accident scene to control
the flow of traffic.
Q. Do you offer permanent speed bumps?

Q. What happens if an individual pad breaks?
A.The Traffic Guard was developed to not only make life easier for the
motoring public but for your maintenance personnel as well. Simply let
us know what broke and we can supply you with a new pad for easy field
replacement.
Q. Where can I use a speed bump?
A. Anywhere from directing traffic for school crossings, to controlling
traffic during school or public fairs, to slowing traffic down for church
attendees, to controlling fans from leaving athletic events, or even law
enforcement directing traffic when there is a change in traffic patterns.
