Traffic Spikes Work!!
Traffic spikes, sometimes called spike strips or tire shredders, are devices designed to control vehicle movement. They feature sharp, upward-facing spikes that puncture tires if driven over in the wrong direction. Commonly installed at parking lot exits, rental car lots, and private driveways, they ensure one-way travel or enforce restricted access. The spikes retract when vehicles move in the allowed direction but remain ready to damage tires if movement goes against the intended flow. These devices are built tough, often from steel or reinforced materials, to handle constant traffic. Some versions are spring-loaded, while others rely on gravity to function. They're popular in security settings to stop unauthorized entry or prevent theft. Drivers need to respect directional signage near traffic spikes to avoid damage and costly repairs. Though simple in principle, they play an important role in traffic control and property protection. Quality installation and proper maintenance are key to keeping them effective and durable.

Why Are Traffic Spikes Important?
Ever found yourself or someone else driving the wrong way in a parking lot? It’s not just embarrassing—it’s dangerous. Traffic spikes help prevent this by enforcing rules physically. They aren't just barriers; they’re problem-solvers for chaotic traffic situations.
Beyond that, they add an extra layer of security in restricted areas, ensuring no unauthorized vehicle can enter or exit without compliance. Whether it's a military base or a corporate campus, traffic spikes make unauthorized vehicular access nearly impossible.

Everyone works hard for their money and, in conclusion, you deserve to get what you pay for.
What is an Access Control System? Tire killers, shredders, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barriers are access controls. As a result of where granting access can be electrically or automatically controlled. Access controls are governed electronically. Hydraulic systems leak. Consequently, we avoid the use of hydraulics.

Because You're Curious About the History!
The original spike strip technology was first patented in the 1940s right alongside velcro and silly putty. It was invented in the Studebaker era, when luxury meant an extended trunk, sealed beam headlights, and enough power to motor at 60mph.
