Speed Humps in Newcastle
Looking for speed humps in Newcastle? Say whether the road is inside an estate, complex, school or car park, give the width at each hump and the surface, and mention any approval you have, so traffic safety contractors serving Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, can quote the humps and markings.
The main speed humps page explains the types, the fixing and the costs in more detail.
Installation & traffic control in Newcastle: local notes
Ground here varies from clay that cracks in winter to harder shale and rock, so ask whether the installer expects to break rock and how that is priced. Hail and summer storms can damage plastic cones and flexible posts left in the sun, so choose UV stable material. Road works on the N11 and municipal streets need jersey barriers and cones, and a wayleave is usually needed before posts go into a public sidewalk.
Who protects what in Newcastle
Northern KwaZulu-Natal works hard, and Newcastle shows it: a steel works, textile and clothing factories, chemical plants and transport yards spread along the industrial areas and the N11. Factory sites need forklift protection, loading dock posts and guardrails, while the town centre and the taxi ranks serving Madadeni and Osizweni need sidewalk bollards and barriers against vehicles mounting the kerb. Winters are cold with frost, summers hot with thunderstorms, and there is no salt air at all, so ordinary galvanised steel lasts well. Precast concrete and steel posts can often be made locally, but heavier or specialised units may come from Durban or Gauteng, both several hours away by truck.
Typical speed humps requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: bumps through a yard where trucks, forklifts and walkways cross
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a body corporate placing humps along estate roads and before the gatehouse
- Municipalities and public spaces: traffic calming on a residential street after a resident request and assessment
