North Bridge Car Park Safety

The Challenge

The car park under North Bridge in Halifax is used by staff at the neighbouring Dean Clough Mills complex The secluded nature of the car park attracts irresponsible drivers who drive at speed in an anti-social manner Crossing points between the car park and pay-and-display machines are unmarked and dangerous

The Solution

Install surface-mounted two-piece rubber speed cushions at crossing points between the car park and pay-and-display machines Manufactured from recycled rubber, our speed cushions incorporate a unique underside profile that moulds itself to the surface without the need for excavation Installation of each cushion can be completed in less than 30 minutes Traffic can drive over the cushions as soon as installation is complete

Results

• The scheme was completed on time and within budget
• Car park users report that more vehicles are respecting the 20mph speed limit
• Visitors feel safer and more confident crossing the carriageway to buy a ticket or to enter/exit the car park
