Speed humps are a crucial part of parking lot safety. Whether you have a large parking lot, a large property that vehicles drive on, or even just a small parking lot for your business, speed humps are needed to prevent vehicles from going too fast and causing unnecessary parking lot accidents. Collisions with pedestrians can happen atany time. These collisions can affect your parking lot liability. We need to prevent collisions from occurring in any way that we can!

Given that parking lots have a significant amount of pedestrian foot traffic, they are a common place for vehicles to accidentally run into pedestrians. Studies show that 22% of accidents where pedestrians are hit by a motor vehicle occur within parking lots. Although other factors like distracted driving, accidental acceleration, and not looking behind a vehicle when backing up can cause collisions with pedestrians, there is strong supporting evidence to show that professional speed hump installation can reduce the total number of collisions.

Studies show that areas that have had speed humps professionally installed saw a 39% reduction in total collisions. Think of your parking lot or property, what would the impact on your liability and the users of your parking lot be if you could decrease the number of collisionsby 39%? Your parking lot or property would be much safer as a result.

In addition to reducing collisions on your property, studies show that the number of collision-related injuries decreased by 46% after speed humps were professionally installed. Even in the event that a speed hump is unable to prevent a crash, the number of resulting injuries is significantly reduced as the vehicles involved are moving at a slower speed onthe property.

A study in the US showed that pedestrians hit by a vehicle moving at 40 MPH have an 85% chance of serious injuries, where as when they're hit by a vehicle moving 20 MPH, they have a 5% chance of sustaining a serious injury. That is a massive reduction in serious injuries from simply slowing down traffic!

These statistics show the importance of having professionally installed speed humps in your parking lot to prevent collisions and keep everything running smoothly. The numbers presented above are too high to risk not installing speed humps on your parking lot orproperty!

No one likes hearing about someone being hit by a vehicle or feeling unsafe when using a parking lot. When strategically placed, speed humps can significantly reduce the rate of speed vehicles travel at on your property and in turn, the number of collisions that occur in your parking lot or on your property.
