Speed Bumps are awful for everyone.
I would argue they are one of the worst ways to calm traffic.
- Drivers will slow down for them... which wastes enormous amounts of fuel when they accelerate again after them, because nobody will drive at a continuous 30 km/h between them (ie, they just don’t psycologically work).
- Residents near them get to endure the constant noise of cars accelerating rapidly to get to the next one.
- They are jarring for cyclists.
- They are a nightmare for busses and snowploughs.
