Parking Block

What is the Purpose a Parking Block?

A parking block should not be confused with speed bumps - they are usually taller and have steeper sides than bumps. Whereas a speed bump is designed to be driven over (with cars needing to reduce their speed!), blocks are actually meant to stop the vehicle moving. They are commonly used in people's garages to make positional parking easy and prevent low impact wall collisions - anyone who has driven into a garage too quickly or misjudged the length of the car's bonnet will probably appreciate the value of using them. They are also used commercially in parking areas, showrooms, warehouses and other buildings.

Traditionally, these blocks have been made from concrete, but these are obviously very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre into place - this parking block weighs in at a modest 4.2 kg. These blocks tend to be made from rubber and recycled plastic which gives them a long life span - concrete can easily get chipped or broken away because there is no "give" in the material, whereas rubber tends to flex when knocked about. Being made of rubber means they are also much less harsh on the tyres than concrete. It is also an excellent use of recycled rubber from car tyres for example.

Parking Block Specifications

As these products are designed to stop cars, they have very steep edges in the shape of trapezoids, and they are usually made to be a few inches high. This parking block is black and yellow (increasing their visibility) and has the word STOP - although hopefully that should be fairly obvious! For further safety issues relating to these blocks, please visit the Health and Safety Executive website. These items are supplied with fixing bolts compatible with concrete and tarmac surfaces. They can also be used individually or in long runs. These products are ideal for preventing the occurrence of vehicle related accidents on your property.
