Access to public transport for disabled users is high on the agendas of most Local Authorities and Transport Companies. The new Rediweld ‘BusPad’ provides the solution to raising the height of kerbs without the need for excavation. The ‘BusPad’ is made from highest quality recycled rubber and is mechanically secured to the pavement surface using stainless steel fixings.

A secondary advantage of the ‘BusPad’ is its ability to be relocated which is a decided benefit should the position of the bus stop need to be moved, as is so often the case when temporary road works are involved. With a trial site in Manchester already generating positive feedback from disabled users, Rediweld is establishing other sites across the UK for this innovative product. The ‘BusPad’ is typically a third of the cost of a conventional kerb treatment, according to a Rediweld spokesperson, and can be installed in a fraction of the time.

The BusPad is an addition to Rediweld’s range of Traffic Management and Site Safety which also includes the TakPave range of tactile surface tiles for the guidance of the visually impaired.
