@MBech@Nanook Not only that they’re more expensive, but they can be done wrong and are often done wrong, to the point that regular use wears them down or simply moves them away (if it’s not the people who move them away).
My car (small truck) is most comfortable going over bumps at 30mph… Not the 10 they expect you to slow to. At 10 you get bounced around, at 30 you get 2 separate bumps that are far less uncomfortable.
Speed bumps are disproportionally less effective on vehicles with larger wheels, which is the trend for SUVs and trucks these days. So while a compact or sedan may slow down for the bump, your average pavement princess will respect the bumps as much as they’ll respect speed limits around schools. Which is to say, not at all.
Pointless curve
It forces cars to slow down to navigate. A college I used to live by did the same thing.
Unless you’re my dad
Speed bumps exist
And they’re more expensive than a slight curve.

Then they’re making speed bumps wrong or price gauging lol
Speed bumps are to solve issues with existing design. Curved roads are good design to begin with and you won’t need speed bumps.
Curves, too.
Speed bumps are curves, too
Speed bumps slow me down far less than curves.

I call that really crappy design.
Curious what design the speed bumps are you refer to. Collecting the different designs and gonna find the optimal speed bump lol

Seems like the park side is larger for it. The other side looks to be yards/fences, no point in giving the resident there a little extra lawn.
Looks like it’s going around a lake?
