If you manage a commercial property in Miami-Dade or Broward County, you know that traffic control isn’t just about signs and striping—it’s about safety. Speed bumps are a reliable, cost-effective solution to help you slow down vehicles, reduce accidents, and protect pedestrians in busy lots. From shopping centers and office parks to schools and industrial facilities, well-placed speed bumps make a major difference in how traffic moves through your property.
Let’s explore why speed bumps are an essential part of your parking lot or roadway design and how professional installation can make all the difference.
Why Speed Bumps Matter for Commercial Properties
Speed bumps are more than just traffic control devices—they are safety tools that provide structure to your parking lot or private roadway. When vehicles move too quickly through shared spaces, the risk of accidents increases. Speed bumps force drivers to reduce speed, giving them more time to react to pedestrians, other vehicles, or loading/unloading activities.
For commercial properties, that means fewer liability risks, improved pedestrian safety, and a more organized traffic pattern—especially in high-traffic areas like shopping plazas, hospitals, hotels, and schools.
Durability You Can Count On
Not all speed bumps are created equal. At Southern Asphalt Engineering, we install speed bumps made with top-grade asphalt materials designed for long-term performance. Unlike plastic or rubber versions that can shift or crack, our asphalt speed bumps are built directly into the pavement, ensuring they stay secure and effective for years.
We use high-visibility striping and signage to ensure drivers see the speed bump well in advance, improving compliance and reducing the chance of sudden stops or damage to vehicles.
Custom Solutions for Every Property
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Whether your property is a small strip mall or a sprawling logistics facility, we’ll assess your layout, traffic patterns, and pedestrian zones to recommend the best placement and size for your speed bumps.
Our team works quickly and efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations. We also offer weekend and off-hour installations to help you stay open and accessible while we improve your property.
Compliance with Local Standards
Speed bump installation isn’t just about pouring asphalt. It requires knowledge of local codes, ADA compliance, and industry best practices. Our experienced team ensures every project is fully compliant with Miami-Dade and Broward County regulations. We also coordinate with property managers and security staff to create a long-term traffic control plan that aligns with your goals.
Maintenance and Repair Services
Over time, even the most well-built speed bumps may need attention. If your existing speed bumps are cracked, worn down, or no longer visible, we offer maintenance and resurfacing services to restore their effectiveness. Regular upkeep not only keeps your property looking professional—it helps you avoid potential hazards and liability issues.
