They had a real need, so we helped develop them.
Now, councils Australia-wide are embracing this new and improved version of what’s sometimes known as “Pavement Bars”. Like the pavement bar product still used by many governments & authorities, the granulated rubber & resin skinned product the Logan City Council had been using had its problems. It was soon realised that this product had various flaws.

After discussing these issues with the Logan City Council at the Local Government Expo (LOGOV) in 2008, we installed several successful applications of our Speed Humps products. Following further discussions with council we redeveloped the design in a way that maintained quality and integrity. The product needed to be:
Long wearing, Structurally sound, Highly visible without fading, Bolted instead of glued in certain situations.
From these discussions, it was decided that Speed Humps Australia would invest in two new moulds to produce a 300mm and 600mm Rumble Bar using the same product and methods as our very successful Speed Hump specification.
Bringing those advances to the Pavement Bar proved a quantum leap.
Though the design of the new Rumble Bars was similar to what the council was already using, it was a number of significant improvements that made all the difference:
We opted for using the same size and length bolts & washers that are currently used to secure Speed Humps as these are already trusted and highly effective.
We are proud to announce that the Logan City Council now has a standing order for our Rumble Bars and they are being used throughout the local council area. Our Rumble Bars are being installed in new locations as well as replacing other brands’ products that have deteriorated from poor quality.
Many other councils across Australia are now also using Speed Humps Australia products. The new and improved Rumble Bars are finding their way onto roundabouts, bus lanes, bicycle lanes, bridge slip lanes, hazard area indicators, lane dividers and are even being used in large mine sites as parking guides.
The versatile Rumble Bar product is also being used by a variety of different companies and organisations across Australia, including:
Speed Humps Australia is a locally owned Australian business and therefore has the flexibility and desire to listen to the needs of local councils. We produce products that assist with the improvement of road safety and awareness across Australia.
Should there be other situations where our products – or a newly developed specific product – can be of use, we would be happy to work in partnership with you to find a solution.
For 10 years, our focus has been on one thing: to provide one style of product and to do it well.
Our wheel stops, speed humps and rumble bars meet Australian Standards, don’t fade, and we’ve never needed to replace one.
