Many people may not know what rubber wheel stops are , but they probably use them multiple times during a typical week. Wheel stops are those small barriers that you often see at the end of a parking space or to they may be used to divide designated parking areas. They are a light physical barrier to remind the driver that they are driving over an obstacle. Let鈥檚 take a closer look at what wheel stops are, how they work and why you may want to install them at your location.
What is a Wheel Stop?
We鈥檝e already touched on this, and the name itself gives us a clue, but it doesn鈥檛 give us the full story. Of course, a wheel stop is designed to stop a wheel, but let鈥檚 face it , it鈥檚 not a high or insurmountable barrier, and a determined driver could drive over it. The secondary and arguably most important function of a wheel stop is that it鈥檚 a physical reminder that the driver is doing something wrong. Most people like rules, we enjoy living in an ordered society, and that鈥檚 why people stop at stop signs even if the road ahead is clear. We crave order, and this is particularly true on our roads and in our car parking structures. When a driver breaks the rules, the system is compromised , and this can result in a number of problems for them and others.
How Does a Wheel Stop Work?
A rubber wheel stop is typically installed at the end of a parking space, and it鈥檚 a reminder that this is where the parking space ends. High visibility colours can be added during the manufacturing process to ensure that the speed hump can be seen easily. When a driver touches the speed humps, they know that they have travelled too far forward. Drivers going through a parking space into the next parking bay is a major problem in any car park. This is an easy way to cause a collision with another car or knock over a pedestrian. People can get seriously hurt by a car travelling even at extremely low speeds and any measure that we can take to prevent that should be thoroughly explored. Also, if there are any pedestrian walkways crossing the front of the parking bay the wheel stop can prevent the car from mounting the path easily if the car has been left in gear. That lurch forward can be arrested before anyone is hit by the car and this will prevent injuries to innocent passersby.
Why Choose Rubber Wheel Stops?
Wheel stops are available in concrete, metal, and rubber , so one could be forgiven for wondering why rubber is the best choice. Firstly, as we mentioned earlier, high visibility colours can be added to the rubber wheel stop during the manufacturing process. Because the colours are essentially built in to the wheel stop, they will not fade, peel or flake off over time. Rubber wheel stops are made from 100% recycled rubber, and they are extremely durable.
