Speed Bump

Abstract

A speed bump section (10, 30, 50; 110, 130, 150) is provided for use in a modular speed bump. The speed bump section comprises an end configured to engage with another speed bump section. The end is one of (i) a male end (16, 36; 116, 136) having a first plurality of angled sides, and a male connector (20, 38; 120, 138) having a corresponding first plurality of angled sides; and (ii) a female end (18, 56; 118, 156) having a second plurality of angled sides configured to receive a said male end, and a female connector (22, 58; 122, 158) having a corresponding second plurality of angled sides configured to engage with a said male connector. A modular speed bump comprising a plurality of speed bump sections is also provided.
