Are Portable Rumble Strips Loud?
These rumble strips are as loud as milled strips and also “alert” drivers with sight and sensation awareness.
Would the rumble strips be able to take heavy vehicles like concrete trucks etc going over them (assuming they are going the max speed of 35 mph or lower) or would it damage them due to the weight?
That's fine. Just need to be going at a low speed.
We are interested in using these for a landfill we have but we have trucks up to 200,000lbs that would be going over these, do you know if they would hold up? They would be going 15-30 mph.
Not sure anything would hold up for a truck weighing 200,000 lbs. They are meant for low speed however the trucks are quite heavy.
Are the rumble strips approved for flagging operations in Maryland?
Per Maryland DOT Guidelines for Temporary Portable Rumble Strips (TPRS): "Any TPRS used shall conform to the requirements of the MdMUTCD Chapter 6F, and MDOT SHA Standard Specification Book, appropriated standards from the Book of Standards for Highway and Incidental Structures."

Do these work on concrete roads? This is to be used up in Colorado for concrete roads in a 35 mph zone. Is there an option for concrete roads? Another product you would suggest?
Is there a temperature these CR4324B wouldn't work at? On the low end?
Per our Engineering department, the performance of SKU# CR4324B (Rubber Rumble Strips) “will not be hindered by concrete surfaces or freezing temps.” However be advised we have had customers claim they tend to move more over time on concrete versus asphalt (see next question).
Our project is on a road that’s a 25mph and under zone, on concrete. Will these slide around as vehicles go over them, or become disconnected in some cases?
Yeah, they do slide around more on concrete. The smooth surface makes it tough.
I am using the temporary rumble strips on asphalt and they keep moving to the point where we have to go and fix them all the time. These strips aren't supposed to move much or at all right? Is there any explanation beyond people just driving faster than they should be (35mph and below)?
These rumble strips are more designated for use in low-speed applications. Typically, these strips are not intended to move as much as you are stating, but movement of these rumble strips can vary on where they are being installed. If they are installed in a location where there is a significant amount of traffic flow, the rumble strips will have the tendency to move as a result of so many vehicles passing over them over a period of time.
Road conditions can also be a factor in making these rumble strips subject to moving. For instance, the road may be slippery in the event of either wet roads or gravel, causing the strips to move easily without much friction. Another instance could be that the road itself may have some uneven surfaces, which can contribute to the rumble strips not being properly joined between strips. It is essential for the customer to check that each individual piece is joined/locked in with one another properly. Moving the whole strip back to its original position without checking the interlocking joints in between the pieces is not enough, thus making the strips more prone to breaking apart on the roadway. Hopefully this helps, but if there are any other questions, please let me know.
