Cojo installs speed bumps across Beaverton, Oregon — parking lots, private community roads, and commercial sites across Washington County. Anything touching public right-of-way runs through the Beaverton Engineering Design Manual plus Beaverton Public Works for traffic-calming coordination. Private parking-lot installs skip the permit, but ADA-accessible routes (ADA Title III) and fire-apparatus access (IFC Section 503) still need to stay clear.
Below: how Beaverton handles permits, the neighborhoods we run, three Beaverton installs from our books, and how to request a quote.
What does Beaverton require for a speed-bump install?
Three layers, depending on where the bump is going:
1. Private parking lots: no city permit required
A speed bump installed entirely on private parking-lot property in Beaverton does not require a city permit. Cojo verifies that the install preserves ADA-accessible routes, fire-apparatus access per Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue requirements, and adjacent stormwater facilities subject to Beaverton's stormwater management code.
2. Public right-of-way: Beaverton Engineering Manual and Public Works review
Beaverton public-street speed humps -- not bumps -- on city streets follow Beaverton Public Works' traffic-calming process. The Beaverton Engineering Design Manual specifies engineering details for hump cross-section, marking, and signage on city-managed streets.
3. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue: fire-access coordination
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) maintains designated fire-apparatus access roads in commercial and multifamily districts across Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, and surrounding communities. Speed bumps on those roads require TVFR coordination. The typical resolution is a speed cushion (with wheel-track gaps for ladder trucks) on fire-access roads and solid bumps elsewhere on the property.

Three real Cojo Beaverton installs
Install 1: Beaverton HOA, August 2025
A 32-unit Beaverton HOA in the Cedar Hills area. The community had two playground-adjacent near-miss incidents in the prior 12 months and an insurance carrier had asked for engineered traffic-calming. Cojo installed four 8-foot rubber bumps with full ORS 94.640 notice. The rear-exit-gate location was changed from a solid bump to a speed cushion to satisfy TVFR fire-access requirements. Detailed in speed bumps for HOA communities.
Install 2: Aloha retail center, December 2025
A 24,000-square-foot retail center along Tualatin Valley Highway. The leasing manager had documented over-speed customer complaints. Cojo installed three 8-foot rubber bumps, 3.5 inches tall, with chevron and reflective tape. Total install: 6 crew-hours on a Sunday morning.
Install 3: Murray Hill multifamily, April 2025
A 120-unit multifamily property in the Murray Hill area. The property had received an insurance-renewal request for engineered traffic-calming. Cojo installed four rubber bumps after a 7-day ORS 90.322 tenant notice and door-hangers two days before install.

Current Market Reality
2026 Beaverton install pricing reflects Oregon prevailing-wage requirements on commercial sites above $25,000 in scope, elevated rubber-feedstock costs, and TVFR coordination time built into multi-property HOA-and-commercial scopes. Off-hours mobilization is the new standard for installs at sites with significant tenant or customer traffic.
