Speed Humps Australia

27/08/2026

Every new location may have a different builder.

That does not mean it should receive a different traffic safety system.

A national build specification gives project managers, builders and suppliers one clear standard for speed humps, rumble bars and wheel stops across every site.

Specify it once. Build it consistently.

A driveway complaint gives the committee a problem. A costed motion gives the AGM something it can approve.

Before the notice goes out, confirm the exact location, driveway surface, correct treatment, fixed installed price, installation timing and the fund paying for it.

Our free 45-minute site assessment covers the difficult part. We inspect the site, identify the conflict point and provide a fixed written price within five business days.

A good traffic safety specification does not need to be twenty pages long.

But it does need to state the product, profile, material, visibility requirements, fixing method and intended application clearly enough that every builder prices the same outcome.

One properly written specification line can prevent years of inconsistent replacements across a network.

Here is how to write it.

“It varies by site” is not a national traffic safety standard.

A compliance audit is not only checking whether the hardware looks acceptable today. It is checking whether every location follows a documented, repeatable specification.

If twelve sites have twelve different answers, the network has a compliance gap.

Here is what franchisors should be checking.

Forty pages mean nothing if nobody knows what to install.

A traffic safety specification only needs three things:

The product.
The fixing method.
The location.

Write it once, place it in the document every builder uses, then apply it to every new site, remodel and replacement.

A speed hump, rumble bar and wheel stop are not interchangeable.

One slows vehicles.
One alerts and guides drivers.
One controls where a parked vehicle stops.

The problems start when the wrong product is specified for the job.

This quick reference explains what each product does and where it belongs.

Article: https://www.speedhumpsaustralia.com.au/what-body-corporate-committees-said-after-the-install/

We asked body corporate committees and property managers what changed after they installed speed humps, rumble bars and wheel stops. The feedback was blunt.

"Complaints went quiet almost overnight" was one of the more common lines, particularly from centres dealing with weekly complaints about speeding delivery drivers. One committee chair, after putting the decision off for two years over cost concerns, said residents ended up thanking them for finally acting.

The pattern across every site: the debate is rarely unanimous before the install. It's after, once complaints drop and residents relax, that the feedback flips.

If your committee is still going back and forth on it, that hesitation is the most common story we hear, and it's rarely the one people are glad they stuck with.

More of what committees told us, in the article.

Most schools don't find out how vulnerable their car park is until something goes wrong: a near miss at a crossing, a parent reversing into a blind corner, a driver speeding through drop-off.

A proper audit covers more ground than most people expect. Layout and one-way flow. Signage and line marking, reviewed at least every 12 months. Whether the speed control on site is actually placed where it's needed, not just installed somewhere. Surface condition, since cracks and potholes are trip hazards in wet weather as much as they're cosmetic issues. Lighting at the zones that matter: crossings, footpaths, waiting areas. And pedestrian paths that keep kids from walking behind reversing cars.

The schools that get ahead of this audit before term rather than after an incident, because a hump installed reactively after a complaint is a much smaller fix than the alternative.
