Traffic Control

Traffic Control Products – Speed Bumps, Parking Stops & Car Park Markings

Traffic control products play a critical role in managing vehicle movement and ensuring safe interaction between vehicles and pedestrians. From speed bumps and wheel stops to cones, barriers, and line markings, these solutions improve visibility, prevent property damage, and support clear navigation across a wide variety of public and private spaces. Speed ramps and traffic calming humps help enforce lower driving speeds in car parks, private roads, and near pedestrian crossings. Wheel stops prevent overrun into pavements or structures. Line marking paints, thermoplastic tapes, and stencils are used to organise space - creating parking bays, pedestrian paths, hazard areas, and directional guides. Bollards and cones add temporary or permanent protection for assets or people.

Suitable for use in schools, hospitals, retail parks, industrial estates, and residential zones, these products are built for reliability and high visibility. Options include rubber, recycled plastic, and heavy-duty metal designs, many of which are UV-resistant, reflective, or anti-slip for all-weather use. Most products are designed for simple installation on concrete or tarmac, such as car park coatings. Pre-drilled, bolt-down units can be fixed securely in place without specialist tools. These systems help meet UK health and safety regulations and can be tailored to suit specific site requirements. For tailored recommendations or guidance on marking layouts and product selection, contact the technical support team.

Traffic Control FAQs

Can I use speed bumps on a public road?

No. Speed bumps and traffic calming devices on public highways must be approved and installed by local authorities. These products are typically used on private roads, car parks, industrial estates, and other non-public areas.

Do traffic products need specialist installation?

Most items, including parking bumpers and speed bumps, come pre-drilled and are designed for surface fixing with bolts. Installation typically requires minimal tools and no hot works, but correct placement is essential for safety and compliance.

Can I install line markings myself?

Yes. Many marking paints and thermoplastic tapes are made for easy application. Some products require heating or priming, while others are ready-to-use and air-dry quickly. Stencils are available for consistent markings such as arrows, symbols, or numbers.

What surfaces can these products be used on?

Most are suitable for tarmac and concrete. For other surfaces, such as block paving or resin-bound stone, contact technical support to check compatibility and ensure a secure fix.

Can these products help me meet health and safety regulations?

Yes. Proper use of speed reduction, parking control, and visual guidance products supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and HSE guidance, particularly in workplace and public access areas.

Do I need planning permission for traffic control items?

Not usually for private property, but large installations or those visible to the public may require consultation. Always check with local planning officers for clarity if in doubt.
