Compliance: AS 1742 traffic control + local council requirements. PPE per WHS Reg + traffic controller licensing where required. Companion: safety equipment, safety signs, safety barrier reels.
Traffic and Parking Equipment for Australian Sites, Car Parks and Workplaces
Traffic and parking equipment manages vehicle and pedestrian movement in workplaces, car parks, and managed-traffic environments — speed humps that slow vehicle traffic, wheel stops that prevent vehicles from rolling beyond designated parking positions, bollards that protect pedestrian zones from vehicle intrusion, and the broader infrastructure that organises vehicle and pedestrian flow. AIMS Industrial supplies traffic and parking equipment for Australian commercial, industrial, and managed-property customers.
The traffic and parking equipment we stock
- Speed humps and speed bumps — rubber and concrete units for slowing vehicle traffic
- Wheel stops (parking blocks) — concrete and recycled-rubber wheel stops for parking spaces
- Bollards (fixed and removable) — protective bollards for pedestrian zones and asset protection
- Cable protectors and ramps — for managing cable and hose runs across roadways
- Traffic mirrors — convex mirrors for blind-corner visibility in car parks and sites
- Parking signs and markings — see also safety signs and safety tapes and labels
Where traffic and parking equipment earns its place
- Commercial car parks — wheel stops, bollards, signage for organised parking
- Industrial sites — speed humps, traffic mirrors, bollards for pedestrian-vehicle separation
- School and aged-care — speed control and pedestrian protection in shared traffic zones
- Hospital and medical centre car parks — managed-traffic environments with mixed pedestrian and vehicle use
- Warehouse loading docks — wheel stops and bollards for loading dock safety
- Managed properties — apartment buildings, retail centres, mixed-use developments
Speed humps — sizing and selection
Speed humps are sized by the speed reduction required:
- 50mm height (low profile) — for 10-15 km/h speed zones, gentle traffic control
- 75mm height (standard) — for 15-25 km/h speed zones, the everyday choice
- Speed bumps (higher profile) — for 5-10 km/h zones, more aggressive speed reduction
Modular rubber speed humps install with bolts to existing surfaces — significantly easier than poured concrete and removable for events. For permanent installations on private property, concrete is more durable; for managed properties, rubber is more flexible.
Bollard types — protective, decorative, security
- Fixed concrete bollards — for permanent vehicle exclusion from pedestrian zones
- Steel bollards — for higher-impact protection at building entrances and asset protection
- Removable bollards — for managed access where occasional vehicle access is needed
- Reflective bollards — high-visibility for night-time and low-light environments
- Security bollards — engineered to specific impact ratings for hostile vehicle protection
Compliance considerations
Traffic management on private property is generally less regulated than public roadway management, but workplace health and safety obligations apply — particularly where pedestrians and vehicles share movement zones. AS 2890 (Parking Facilities) covers Australian car park design including dimensions, gradients, and accessibility requirements. For managed properties, follow the relevant property and building codes.
Brands and sourcing at AIMS
Traffic and parking equipment is stocked from quality manufacturers covering rubber and concrete products, steel bollards, and signage. For specific requirements, large-volume orders, or specialty applications, sourcing through our distribution channels covers most options.

People Also Ask — Traffic and Parking Equipment
Q: What traffic and parking equipment does AIMS stock?
Wheel chocks (workshop standard for vehicle stability and trailer loading), parking bollards (fixed and removable), speed humps and traffic calming devices, traffic cones, barricade fencing, line marking paint, parking signs, road safety equipment, and specialty traffic control products. Used in workshops, warehouses, car parks, construction sites, and traffic management. Match to typical use — workshop wheel chocks vs commercial parking infrastructure are different products.
Q: What wheel chocks do I need?
Match wheel chock to vehicle/trailer weight. Workshop standard: rubber wheel chocks (lightweight, won't damage vehicle) for cars and light commercial. Heavy-duty rubber or steel for trucks. Specialty wheel chocks for mining and aviation (very heavy). Pair use: one chock per axle per wheel position when blocking. Don't use single chocks for grade parking — vehicle rollback overpowers single chock. For workshop daily use: 2-4 wheel chocks of appropriate size. See [Wheel Chocks Guide](/blogs/product-guides/wheel-chocks-guide).
Q: Fixed or removable bollards?
Fixed bollard: permanent installation, concreted into ground, highest impact resistance. Used for permanent vehicle barriers (entrance protection, building corners, infrastructure). Removable bollard: insert-style or pivot-down, allows controlled vehicle access. Used where access control matters (carparks, restricted entry). Locking mechanisms vary — combination, key, magnetic. Match installation type to access requirements. For workshop yard security: fixed bollards. For carpark access control: removable.
Q: What line marking paint for which surface?
Solvent-based line marking (workshop and concrete): traditional standard, fast-drying, durable. Water-based latex (commercial parking lots): low VOC, environmentally cleaner. Thermoplastic (roads and highways): hot-applied, very long life but requires specialty equipment. For workshop floor marking, solvent-based line marking paint is the workshop standard. For commercial parking lots, water-based latex. For permanent road marking, thermoplastic via specialist contractor.
Q: Are AS/NZS standards for traffic equipment?
Yes — multiple Australian standards. AS 1742 (Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices), AS 4191 (Bollards for vehicle restraint), AS/NZS 4192 (Pedestrian fence and bollards), AS 2899 (Public information signs). For workplace traffic management compliance, refer to state WHS regulator's Traffic Management Code. For public road traffic equipment, civil engineering specifications and council requirements apply. AIMS supplies AS-compliant products for workplace and commercial applications.
