This is an example of what kind of rubber “Speed Cushions” the town of Erath will be placing on three streets.

Erath getting 14 ‘speed cushions’ to help slow down speeders

ERATH - The town of Erath has a speeding problem, and it may have found a solution that does not involve giving speeding tickets.
At Monday night’s monthly meeting, the aldermen approved buying $13,000 worth of “speed cushions” and signs to help slow down traffic on certain streets in Erath.
Speed cushions are larger than speed bumps, explained Erath Mayor Taylor Mencacci. They are around seven feet long and approximately three feet wide. The height is three inches high.
