Traffic Calming is a system of design to reduce the negative impacts of cars and other vehicles. It aims to modify driver behavior and provide better conditions for other road users like pedestrians and cyclists. Keeping in mind the urgent need to ensure the safety of both motorists and pedestrians, Pavement Surface Coatings has developed Endurablend, a unique, flexible, and durable material for marking road surfaces and flush curb bump-outs to make them easily visible and reduce vehicle speeds.
The Ultimate Enhanced Crosswalk
Benefits of Using Endurablend For Traffic Calming Road Markings
Clearer Road Signage and Directions For Drivers
Confusing sig
nage and roadway markings can lead to accidents and other events that impede the flow of traffic. Oftentimes, weather, pavement erosion, and the wear and tear of vehicle tires can cause these road calming measures to deteriorate and become less clear and legible.
Endurablend is a durable pavement coating that can create more visible directional elements on the road. This can help ensure a safer and more efficient environment for drivers.
Reduce Excessive Vehicle Speeds
When imposing speed limits doesn’t work, traffic calming treatments can reduce a vehicle's speed. Traffic calming treatments and strategies can alert speeding drivers to slow down.
Use Multiple Signals to Alert Drivers
By using various colors, textures, and patterns to attract drivers’ attention and visually narrow down the travel lanes, these traffic calming markings increase awareness, helping to reduce speed and minimize the risk of accidents.
Using Endurablend, you can create multiple traffic calming elements that can provide more precise directions to motorists, such as:
- Bike and bus lanes
- Street narrowing features
- Chicanes
- Roundabouts
- Raised medians
- Diverters
- Speed humps
- Speed tables
- Flush bump-outs
Maintain Public Transit Schedules
Using Endurablend for traffic calming can also be leveraged to create designated lanes for specially authorized vehicles that rely on a tight schedule. For example, you can mark out bus lanes, carpool lanes, and railroad crossings to ensure that mass transit systems can continue serving the public while adhering to their departure and arrival times.
A Smarter Investment for Your Municipality
Market-variety pavement marking solutions deteriorate more quickly and are more sensitive to thermal changes than Endurablend. This results in larger roadway maintenance expenses for municipalities due to an increased need for materials and labor. A higher risk of traffic accidents also results in more expenses for emergency services and court costs.
Investing in Endurablend treatment helps optimize your municipality’s roadway budget. By helping to create a safer roadway with less maintenance and far fewer reapplications required over time, you can save on maintenance and labor while protecting the long-term health of your streets.
Types of Road Calming Measures
Endurablend is Here to Help with Residential Traffic Calming
Research has demonstrated that using physical measures such as colored, patterned, and textured pavement surface markings is one of the best traffic calming strategies.
These road features allow you to effectively control vehicle speeds and encourage driving behavior that is safe and appropriate for the corresponding environment. All of this helps reduce the number of road accidents and increase the quality of life of people living, working, or spending their leisure time in the neighborhood.
Because Endurablend is an ultra-thin polymer cement coating, it is significantly more durable than other pavement coatings.. Endurablend has been developed to be used in just about any application that might traditionally be used for paint with no limitation of color or pattern. It also requires less maintenance, fewer reapplications, and is easier to clean than a painted surface, saving money in the long run.

Endurablend and Traffic Calming Applications FAQ
Speed bumps are short, high bumps that force very low speeds (5–10 mph). Speed humps are longer, parabolic profiles that slow cars to 15–20 mph without excessive discomfort. Speed cushions are narrow humps spaced so emergency vehicles straddle them. Speed tables are long flat-topped humps that slow vehicles more gradually. Flush curb bump-outs are level extensions of the curb that narrow the roadway and rely on visual cues to slow traffic.
