Parking Lot Entrance Traffic Spikes
Access Control: Traffic Spikes
Traffic spike systems are a method of access control used worldwide to help restrict vehicular access to certain areas of facilities or properties. Tiger Teeth traffic spike systems make an effective, low-cost method of restricting access to parking lots and parking garages. Traffic spike systems allow vehicles to pass in one direction safely while preventing any traffic from accessing the area in the opposite direction. When a vehicle passes over the spike strip in the correct direction, the tires safely roll over the smooth side of the spikes, while if a vehicle passes over the unit in the restricted direction, the teeth will puncture the tire and immobilize the vehicle.
Tiger Teeth Traffic Spike Parking Lot Access Control Systems
There are two types of traffic spike strips; standard manual spike strips and complete motorized traffic control systems. A motorized traffic control system includes a spike strip, barrier arm, and a wide range of optional accessories (keypads, card readers, intercoms, telephone devices, CCTV, cameras, loops, and more). Both types are available in a surface-mounted option or in-ground units. Users can install surface-mounted systems quickly to the roadway surface, and the inground units are installed to be flush with the roadway.
Common Applications:
- Convention Centers
- Car Parks, Corporate Parking Facilities
- National Monuments and State Parks
- Hospitals, Military Bases, Government Buildings
- Natural Gas, Petroleum Plants, Water and Power Plants
- Gated Residential Communities, Apartment Complexes
- Impound Lots, Highways, Toll Roads, Prisons, Other Police Facilities
Tiger Teeth Safety Requirements
Driving more than 5 mph over the traffic spike system can cause damage to tires or vehicles. And when crossing over the traffic spikes, vehicle tires must drive parallel across the teeth to ensure the proper function of the spikes. In order to extend the longevity of the spike strips and for the warranty to be upheld, proper installation and use of visible warning signs is required.
