Cojo installs speed bumps across Medford, Oregon — parking lots, private community roads, and commercial properties across Jackson County. Anything touching public right-of-way runs through the Medford Land Development Code (LDC) and Medford Public Works for traffic-calming coordination. Private parking-lot installs don't need a city permit, but ADA-accessible routes (ADA Title III) and fire-apparatus access (IFC Section 503) still apply.
Below: how Medford handles permits, the neighborhoods we cover, two real installs, and how to request a quote.
Three layers, depending on where the bump is going:
A speed bump installed entirely on private parking-lot property in Medford does not require a city permit. Cojo verifies that the install preserves ADA-accessible routes, fire-apparatus access per Medford Fire-Rescue, and adjacent stormwater facilities subject to Medford's stormwater management code.
Medford public-street speed humps follow Medford Public Works' traffic-calming process. The Medford LDC governs land-use and public right-of-way improvements; private parking-lot speed bumps fall outside the LDC's primary scope.
Medford Fire-Rescue maintains designated fire-apparatus access roads in commercial and multifamily districts. Speed bumps on those roads require fire-marshal coordination, with the typical resolution being a speed cushion (with wheel-track gaps for ladder trucks) instead of a solid bump.
Cojo provides speed-bump installation across the Medford service area, including:
For installs in adjacent Ashland, Central Point, and Phoenix, contact Cojo for service-area details.
A 22,000-square-foot retail center along Stewart Avenue. The leasing manager had documented over-speed customer traffic and one cart-vehicle near-miss. Cojo installed three 8-foot rubber bumps, 3.5 inches tall, with chevron, reflective tape, and MUTCD W17-1 signage. Total install: 6 crew-hours on a Sunday morning. Detailed approach in speed bumps for retail parking lots.
A 28-unit East Medford HOA. The community had received resident complaints about over-speed traffic and one near-miss involving a child crossing to the mailbox.

2026 Medford install pricing reflects substantial crew-mobilization travel time from the Salem operations base, Oregon prevailing-wage requirements on commercial sites above $25,000, and elevated rubber-feedstock costs. Medford installs are typically scheduled in batches with other Southern Oregon projects (Ashland, Grants Pass, Central Point) to amortize the mobilization premium across multiple sites.
