Speed humps are wide, gentle asphalt mounds paved into the surface that slow vehicles to 15-20 mph; speed bumps are short, sharp rises (often pre-formed rubber) that slow vehicles to 5-10 mph. The right choice depends on where the device sits — a fire-lane shared with emergency vehicles needs different geometry than a school drop-off lane.

What this service includes
Every project from Maisano Brothers Inc. covers the work that makes the result last.
Site walk and traffic-calming plan
We walk the lot or road with you, identify the speed problem, and recommend hump vs. bump geometry, count, and placement.
Asphalt speed hump construction
We pour and shape asphalt humps in place — 12 to 14 feet across, 3 to 4 inches tall — sized for a 15-20 mph crossing.
Rubber speed bumps
We supply and anchor pre-formed rubber speed bumps, ideal for retrofits where pouring asphalt is impractical.
Striping, reflectors, and signage
Each device is striped with high-visibility paint, reflectors are added where night visibility matters, and warning signs are installed at approaches.
Fire-lane and emergency-access coordination
We work with the property and the local fire marshal to size devices that meet emergency-vehicle access requirements.
When this service makes sense
- Vehicles regularly exceed safe speeds in your lot or shared private road.
- You have a pedestrian-heavy area — school drop-off, hospital, retail entrance, condominium walkway — that needs traffic slowed.
- Signs and painted markings alone are not changing driver behaviour.
- You are repaving a lot and want speed humps installed with the new asphalt.
- You need a quick retrofit and want pre-formed rubber bumps anchored to existing pavement.

Materials, equipment, and quality
The standards and details that separate work built to last from work built to look finished.
Right geometry for the speed target
Humps and bumps are not the same thing. We size each device to the speed we want drivers to take it at — not just whatever the asphalt crew has on the truck.
Fire-marshal coordination
Fire lanes and emergency routes have specific traffic-calming rules. We coordinate with the local fire marshal so devices don't get red-tagged after install.
High-visibility striping that survives plowing
We use thermoplastic or traffic-grade paint with reflective beads so the markings hold up through Connecticut winters and snowplow blades.

What's the difference between a speed hump and a speed bump?
A speed hump is 12 to 14 feet wide and 3 to 4 inches tall, designed to slow vehicles to 15-20 mph. A speed bump is 1 to 3 feet wide and 3 to 4 inches tall, designed to slow vehicles to 5-10 mph. Humps are for roads and through-lanes; bumps are for parking lots and tight access points.
Can fire trucks and ambulances cross speed humps?
Yes — properly sized speed humps are safe for emergency vehicles. We coordinate with the local fire marshal on geometry and placement so emergency response isn't compromised.
Asphalt or rubber — which should I choose?
Asphalt humps last as long as the surrounding pavement and integrate visually with the lot, but they require a paving crew and warm weather. Rubber bumps install year-round in hours and can be removed or relocated, but they wear faster under heavy traffic.
Will snowplows damage the humps?
Asphalt humps survive plows when the plow operator knows they're there — reflectors and warning signs help. Rubber bumps are removable for the snow season on lots where the plow operator can't avoid them.
