Gutter Ramps: What Is It And What Is It Used For?
In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, gutter ramps are those recycled rubber ramps placed on pavements to bridge differences in height safely. They also ensure that vehicles can move safely and are available in high-visibility colours. They are fixed in place using plugs, so permanent connections are possible but not necessary. This makes them a perfect temporary solution for increasing safety and improving access. Let’s take a closer look at how these ramps can be used and some of their benefits. 
Common Applications of Gutter Ramps:
These products can be used in a wide variety of ways for providing access across a pavement; here are some of the more common applications:
A driveway ramp for cars: These gutter ramps are sometimes referred to as kerb ramps, and they provide vehicle access between a street and a driveway over the pavement.
Disabled access: Wheelchair users find negotiating a kerb is much easier when a curb ramp is in place. The gradient is shallow enough to offer easier access than a barrier presented by a kerb edge.
Drainage: When used in parking areas or on pavements, gutter ramps allow a drainage path for water runoff to flow into specific areas.
Pedestrians: Foot traffic can follow graded ramps down from pavement surfaces onto the surface of adjoining streets.
Curb Cutting: These ramps are perfect for cutting edges on areas such as pavements, loading zones, bus stops, road crossings, intersections and on-street parking areas.
Improving Safe Vehicle Access: These gutter ramps are ideal for improving safe vehicular access for areas such as medical facilities, schools, playgrounds, road crossings and private or public car parks.

Multiple ramps can be connected together to create entire strips for access if required, and heavier traffic is not a problem. The ramps can be installed easily on concrete and asphalt surfaces for maximum flexibility. They are very pedestrian and vehicle friendly, with high visibility and a gentle rubber surface that won’t cause damage. As a recycled rubber product, they last a long time without corroding, cracking or degrading in our hotter temperatures.
