SPEED RAMPS' Q & A
Q: What types of speed ramps are available at PARRS, and how do they differ?
A: PARRS provides a variety of speed control and protection solutions, including:
- Heavy Duty Wheel Stops: Placed at the end of parking spaces, these are essential for preventing vehicles from parking too close to curbs or restricted areas. They are particularly beneficial for managing the parking of HGVs, trucks, and coaches, safeguarding buildings and other vehicles.
- Parking Blocks: Designed to prevent vehicles from overhanging walkways or encroaching on neighbouring spaces, these blocks enhance pedestrian safety and can separate routes, such as bicycle and pedestrian paths. They are ideal for use in car parks and near glass-fronted buildings.
- Cable and Hose Protection Ramps: These ramps shield cables and hoses from damage due to vehicles or heavy equipment, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.
- Speed-Reducing Ramps: Commonly known as speed bumps, these ramps help slow traffic to reduce accidents, particularly in high-traffic areas such as schools and hospitals. PARRS speed ramps are designed to effectively reduce vehicle speeds to 5mph, 6mph, or 10 mph, depending on requirements.
Q: What is the purpose of speed ramps?

- Desired Speed: The speed you want traffic to be reduced to.
- Road Width: The width of the area where the ramp will be installed.
Q: Can speed ramps damage vehicles?
