ABSTRACT:
Speed bumps for mounting across roadway lanes to encourage vehicle drivers to slow down are formed of laminated layers of elongated flexible rubber strips secured together to form a speed bump unit. Typical bump heights of three inches are obtained from six laminated half-inch layers. in one embodiment, layers not exceeding five inch widths cut from treads of discarded vehicle tires between opposing shoulders have a propensity to lie flatly upon a road surface, and are pyramided upwardly by a plurality of stepped layers of decreasing widths thus presenting inclined leading and trailing edges for intercepting the tires of oncoming moving vehicles. In another embodiment curved layers of tire tread strips form ingress and egress edges inclined gradually downward from an uppermost crown to the roadway surface for intercepting the oncoming moving vehicle tires.
