Abstract: The modular traffic calming device comprises a plurality of substantially rectangular modules. Each module is connectable to one or more adjacent modules using a complementary interlocking connection across a first of the side faces of modules, and using a complementary non-interlocking connection across a second of the side faces of the modules.

Abstract: A composite compression molded article is formed from a composition comprising: a) 60 to 97%, preferably 75 to 90%, by weight of rubber particles of a varied size distribution in the range of 5 to 30 mesh, b) 3 to 20%, preferably 5 to 12%, by weight, of a polymerizable material, said polymerizable material being non-reactive with said rubber particles, and polymerizing to form a matrix surrounding said rubber particles, and c) 0 to 20%, preferably 5 to 13%, by weight, of reinforcing fibres, said fibres being non-reactive with said polymerizable material; the article can particularly be formed as a gasket or adjustment unit which absorbs mechanical vibrations transmitted through a metal component thereby protecting an adjacent concrete component against fracture caused by such vibrations; other articles may also be produced including dock wedges, wheel chocks, speed bumps, delineator bases, anti-vibration pads, manhole and catch basin adjustment risers and portable temporary road or path surface members for us
