Traffic Calming Surfacing is very effective when you need to reduce the speed of traffic, restrict the movement of vehicles or give warning to road users and pedestrians general and HMS have a wide range of solutions.
Highway safety concerns everyone, no matter what your mode of transport. The Government, the Emergency Services, your Local Authority and other organisations like RoSPA and the TRL work year on year to improve highway safety.
The Traffic Calming Act in 1994 empowered local authorities with more ways to improve the safety of traffic and pedestrians by paving the way for wide scale use of coloured surfacing. More recently, the ‘Safe Routes to Schools’ projects have made a massive contribution in getting our children to school more safely and there is no doubt that coloured surfacing has played a significant part in these flagship schemes.
Coloured, Textured and Imprinted Surfacing are available from HMS to enhance your traffic calming projects, either on their own or to compliment a number of other design features. Traffic Calming may not appeal to all road users as a sensible way forward, but it has been proven that careful consideration and application of a number of measures, including Traffic Calming Surfacing has reduced accident potentials across the country and made a positive difference to road safety.
Traffic Calming Surfacing has been used extensively in Bus Lanes and Bus Stops, Ghost Islands, Speed Pads, Gateways, Chicanes, Cycle Lanes, Slow Pads, Speed Roundels, Roundabouts and Rumble Strips.
Private Clients have found the use of coloured surfacing very effective in providing 'safety walkways' in factories, manufacturing plants, car parks and industrial estates, where the movement of vehicles and pedestrians in close proximity give rise to unforeseen hazards in the the workplace.
