Description
Slow Traffic to 2–5 MPH Without Excavation
The Spike Systems Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump provides a durable, low-profile solution for slowing vehicle traffic to approximately 2–5 mph in existing roadways, parking areas, secured facilities, fleet yards, and controlled-access environments.
Built on the same modular surface-mount platform as the CS36-SM, this steel speed bump installs directly onto existing pavement, without the excavation, concrete cutting, or major site disruption associated with traditional recessed speed bumps.
Each section is available in a 3-foot (36-inch) length, allowing multiple sections to be installed end-to-end to accommodate the required roadway width.
Use it as a standalone traffic-calming solution or position it before barriers, gates, tiger teeth, and other vehicle access control equipment to encourage vehicles to approach at a controlled speed.
Surface mount. Modular design. 2–5 mph traffic control. Built for existing spaces.
Modular 36-Inch Sections
The Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump is manufactured in 3-foot (36-inch) sections. The finish is hot-dip galvanized and powder coated.
Multiple sections can be installed end-to-end to accommodate the width of the traffic lane or roadway.
This modular configuration makes the system adaptable to a wide range of existing spaces and provides flexibility when planning a retrofit installation.

Why Choose a Spike System Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump?
Slow Traffic to 2–5 MPH
Designed to provide a significant traffic-calming point and encourage vehicles to approach controlled areas at approximately 2–5 mph.
No Excavation Required
Installs directly onto existing pavement, helping eliminate the excavation and major site disruption associated with traditional recessed speed bumps.
36-Inch Modular Sections
Each section is 3 feet (36 inches) long and can be combined with additional sections for wider roadways.
Steel Construction
Manufactured from steel for demanding commercial, industrial, fleet, and controlled-access applications.
Retrofit-Friendly
Add traffic calming to an existing parking lot, roadway, fleet yard, or secured facility without redesigning the entire traffic area.
Passive Traffic Control
No electrical power or automated controls are required. The physical profile of the speed bump encourages drivers to slow down.
Works With Access-Control Equipment
Position the speed bump before barriers, gates, tiger teeth, and other traffic-control equipment to create a slower, more controlled vehicle approach.
Slow Vehicles Before They Reach the Barrier
The Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump can be used as a standalone traffic-calming solution, but it is especially effective as part of a larger vehicle access-control strategy.
Position the speed bump before a barrier, tiger teeth, or gate to encourage drivers to reduce speed before reaching the control point.
Speed bump → controlled approach → access-control equipment
This configuration can be particularly useful at fleet facilities, secured parking areas, commercial properties, industrial facilities, and other locations where vehicle speed and access need to be managed.
Common Applications
Parking Lots
Slow vehicle traffic in existing parking facilities and private parking areas.
Fleet Facilities
Control vehicle speeds entering and exiting fleet yards, service facilities, and vehicle storage areas.
Secured Facilities
Create a slower approach before barriers, gates, and perimeter security equipment.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities
Add traffic calming to existing paved areas without extensive pavement modification.
Controlled Access Points
Encourage vehicles to slow to approximately 2–5 mph before reaching a barrier, gate, tiger teeth, or other traffic-control device.
Retrofit Applications
An ideal solution when adding a traditional recessed speed bump would require unnecessary excavation or significant site work.
Portable & Reconfigurable
Designed to be easily removed and relocated, providing a flexible temporary traffic-calming solution when site needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the Spike Systems Surface Mount Speed Bump slow traffic?
The Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump is designed to slow vehicle traffic to approximately 2–5 mph, depending on vehicle type, approach speed, and site conditions.
How long is each speed bump section?
Each speed bump section is 36 inches (3 feet) long. Multiple sections can be installed end-to-end to accommodate the required roadway width.
Does the speed bump require excavation?
No. The Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump is designed to mount directly onto existing pavement, making it suitable for retrofit applications where excavation is undesirable.
Can I use the speed bump before a barrier?
Yes. The speed bump can be installed before barriers, gates, tiger teeth, and other vehicle access-control equipment to encourage vehicles to slow down before reaching the controlled access point.
Is the speed bump powered?
No. It is a passive traffic-calming device and requires no electrical power.
Can the speed bump be used by itself?
Yes. The Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump can be used as a standalone traffic-calming device or incorporated into a larger vehicle access-control system.
How wide can the speed bump be?
The system uses modular 36-inch sections that can be installed end-to-end to create the required overall width.
Where can the Surface Mount Steel Speed Bump be used?
Typical applications include parking lots, fleet facilities, vehicle storage areas, commercial and industrial properties, secured facilities, and controlled-access points.
Slow traffic. Control the approach. Protect the access point.
