The Evolution of Rubber Wheel Stops (Also Known as Parking Curbs)

Rubber wheel stops, also known as parking curbs, help keep parking lots organized by preventing vehicles from rolling past designated spaces. Older models, often made of concrete, were heavy and required extensive labor to install. Today, rubber designs offer a more practical solution—lightweight, durable, and easier to install, making parking lot maintenance more efficient.

Beyond their functionality, modern parking curbs now offer customization. Companies like Clearline Traffic have developed models that allow businesses to add branding, logos, or important messages directly onto the wheel stops. This feature not only improves the look of a parking lot but also provides a smart way to communicate with customers or reinforce a brand’s identity.
