TOPSTOP
TOPSTOP is a System of proven Speed Reduction Ramps, which encourage drivers
not to exceed a certain speed.
There is a choice of two different systems: TOPSTOP 5 and TOPSTOP 10 for
pre-determined traffic speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively.
Speed reduction ramps are reliable and effective. TOPSTOP can regulate
traffic speed near hazardous areas such as bends, exit-ways, and loading
bays; weigh bridges, junctions, pedestrian crossings and schools, etc. or
car park at hospitals, pubs, hotels, golf courses or indeed any other
parking area. On roads where speeding regularly occurs speed reduction ramps
should be located at regular intervals.
Quite apart from the instant effect speed reduction humps offer in reducing
driving speed, their conspicuous hazard warning colours and reflectors will
remind drivers to reduce speed by night as well as by day.
N.B. Appropriate warning signs indicating the presence of speed reduction
ramps should be used with this product.

Simple installation:
The width of the carriageway and the number of blocks required should first be ascertained.
The directional tubular rods (optional extra) should be adjusted for size accordingly and laid down in place. If required, adjustments should be made to take into account camber of the road surface.
The blocks can then be laid down end-to-end on the tubular rods and drilled through to the road surface.
Fit the bolts into the sections, insert into the drill holes and secure tightly.
