The Speed-Pod is a sustainable precast concrete system for use as a speed cushion in traffic management
The Speed-Pod is designed to reduce speeds of traffic with various degrees of severity. They offer a cost effective off site sustainable solution, with significant savings on cost and installation time.
Reduced installation times
Typically a pair of Speed-Pods can be installed in a matter of 4 hours.
Range of sizes available
Speed-Pod is available in five widths to suit the various applications, ranging from 1.6m to 2.0m and also lengths of 1.9m and 3.0m. Other sizes are available on request.
The weights of the units range from 1.35 to 2.66 tonnes, with the larger units split in two.
The dimensional accuracy ensures compliance to design standards set out in the Road Traffic Act. The design of the Speed-Pod is based on the Traffic Advisory Leaflets 4/94, 2/94, 3/93 and 1/87, and recommendations of TRL note PR43 and 20mph speed limit zones note 4/90.

Sustainable solutions
The Highways Agency’s ‘smarter choices’ scheme promoting sustainable travel, looks at methods of reducing congestion on our roads. The ease and speed of installation of Speed-Pod dramatically cuts road closure times, meaning that congestion and the increased CO2 production of stopping and starting traffic is greatly reduced.
