Control speeding and cut liability with properly built asphalt speed bumps from Apex Asphalt Riverside, serving Riverside since 2015. We install new bumps and repair worn, cracked, or rutted bumps on parking lots, private roads, and industrial yards with clean tie-ins and durable compaction.
A long-lasting asphalt speed bump starts with prep and a stable base. We layout the bump locations, verify drainage and sight lines, then sawcut and remove failed asphalt where needed, not just pave over it. The surface is mechanically cleaned, tack coat is applied for bond, and we repair weak subgrade and base with compacted aggregate base (typically 3-6 inches) using a plate compactor or roller. For new installations, we make sure the approach and departure areas are sound so the bump does not shove, crack, or settle under turning traffic.
Riverside heat, UV exposure, and heavy delivery traffic can age asphalt quickly, so we match the mix and thickness to the use. We place hot mix asphalt with an asphalt paver or by hand for tight areas, then compact in lifts to proper density so the bump keeps its shape and does not unravel at the edges. The finish includes crisp transitions, sealed joints when appropriate, and high-visibility markings using pavement striping paint or thermoplastic and reflective glass beads. If the lot needs it, we can also add warning signs, refresh legends, and address drainage that can pond at the toe of the bump.
Property managers and owners choose us because our asphalt speed bumps are built like pavement repairs, not speed-control afterthoughts. You get practical guidance on spacing, height, and placement to reduce complaints while still slowing vehicles, plus scheduling that keeps lanes open and businesses operating. Our crew shows up with the right equipment, including saws, blowers, infrared thermometers, compactors, and rollers to deliver consistent compaction and clean edges. We are licensed and insured, communicate clearly, and provide a free written estimate with a defined scope so there are no surprises.
After placement and compaction, we do a closing walkthrough to confirm the profile, tie-ins, striping layout, and safe traffic flow. You receive a clear plan for cure times and reopening, plus maintenance recommendations such as sealcoating timing, crack sealing, and re-striping intervals. We document the work, note any nearby pavement failures that could affect performance, and explain options like asphalt patching, slurry seal, or micro surfacing for the surrounding lanes. The result is a speed-control solution that looks professional, lasts longer, and stays easier to maintain.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site evaluation so you know the scope, materials, and timeline.
Sometimes. If the existing surface and base are stable, an asphalt overlay can be a good option. If the base has failed, we recommend repairs, milling, or reconstruction first.
Light vehicle traffic is often possible after initial cooling, but full curing takes longer. We provide site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperatures, and traffic loads.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, arrows, fire lanes, and ADA stall layouts when provided or confirmed with the property requirements.
Common causes include oxidation from UV exposure, water intrusion into the base, poor compaction, and movement from heavy loads or unstable subgrade. The right fix depends on the crack type and base condition.
Asphalt speed bumps are one of the most cost-effective ways to slow vehicles on private streets, parking lots, warehouses, and multi-tenant properties. The difference between a bump that lasts and one that crumbles is the base, the bond, and the compaction. Apex Asphalt Riverside installs and repairs asphalt speed bumps with proper surface prep, hot mix asphalt placement, tight tie-ins, and clear markings so drivers see the control point early and the pavement holds up under braking and turning.
We start by evaluating existing asphalt condition, drainage patterns, and traffic type, including passenger vehicles, box trucks, and tractor trailers. Failed areas are cut out and rebuilt so the bump does not ride on soft pavement. We apply tack coat, place hot mix asphalt in lifts, and compact with a plate compactor or roller to lock aggregate and prevent early raveling. Where blending is critical, we feather and compact transitions so plows, sweepers, and daily traffic do not catch an edge.
Finish details matter for safety and compliance. We can add MUTCD-style warning signs where required by site rules, then stripe the bump with high-contrast paint or thermoplastic and reflective beads to improve nighttime recognition. If your existing bump is too abrupt or too low to be effective, we can reprofile it or rebuild it to the correct geometry and repair surrounding alligator cracking so the area stays stable.
For property owners, the goal is fewer speeding incidents without constant callbacks. Our process is built around durable asphalt construction practices, clear communication, and a documented scope of work. If you are planning speed control along with patching, sealcoating, or restriping, we can bundle the work to reduce mobilizations and keep the lot looking consistent.
