Surface-MountedTraffic Spikes

Exits stay exits.

Bolt them across any exit lane in an afternoon. Drivers going the right way roll right over. Drivers going the wrong way get four flat tires and a story to tell.

Close-up of yellow spring-loaded spike teeth on a black surface-mount ramp, each tooth's gentle slope facing left and steep point facing right
The slope sideExit traffic presses each tooth flat.
The steep sideWrong-way tires meet the point. Game over.

How it works/ 01

Smart in one direction. Ruthless in the other.

Every tooth is a spring-loaded steel blade with a gentle slope on one face and a steep point on the other. Which way you're driving decides which one you meet.

  1. 01

    Roll out

    Tires climb the slope and push each tooth down into its slot. At parking-lot speed, drivers barely feel it.

  2. 02

    Snap back

    Springs return every tooth upright the moment the tire clears. Ready for the next car, all day, every day.

  3. 03

    Stop cold

    Come in the wrong way and the tire meets the point, not the slope. Warning signs on both sides make sure nobody can say they didn't know.

Built for/ 02

Every exit has a reason to stay one.

Different properties, same problem: someone coming in the way they're supposed to go out. Here's where we stop them most.

Custom faceplates/ 04

Your logo. Laser-cut. On every module.

FedEx doesn't put someone else's name on its yard. You shouldn't either. Send us a logo and we'll cut it into steel plates matched to your brand colors.
