Transportation engineer creates speed hunps

Speed humps and mini roundabouts
What a great idea they are (not). One of our local government transportation engineer has created speed humps on all our back streets and introduced dozens of mini-roundabouts in places.

These hunps have severely damaged my car. They were presumably introduced to reduce speeds on side streets to lower than 30 mph. As for mini roundabouts, these things are stupid and dangerous.

| 26-4-2008 | What speed are you doing over these "Speed Humps"? Don't you realise they have been put there for a reason? To slow you down,not to see how fast you can take them!
Unfortunatly I am disabled & walk with the aid of a stick. The number of drivers that refuse to slow down to allow me...more | David Webb |
| 15-3-2008 | The scourge of the mini roundabout may be on the decline.
Of the six that were there in the 1 mile stretch when I raised the gripe, two have been since removed. | Original Poster |
| 11-1-2008 | You should try coming to Penrith in Cumbria. It's absolutely shocking! One bus firm recieved a payment from the council because their buses were getting ruined. Just outside the town there is a village called Clifton with the most stupid traffic calming measures I have ever seen. Basically, ...more | Matthew |
| 01-1-2008 | ps to my last message.
The "Green" argument regarding road building holds no water either, as far as I can see, because a vehicle travelling at a constant speed uses far less fuel, and produces much less polution than one constantly stoping and starting.
Also the latest "pet" t...more | Alangh |
| 01-1-2008 | With increasing penalties for speed limit infringements, Speed humps, "Traffic calming" narrows in an otherwise wide road, and other Anti motor vehicle measures, how long before motor vehicles need to be in groups of six preceeded by a man waving a red flag.

| 29-10-2007 | I live in Penrith in Cumbria. The council here have a love affair with speed humps, they even managed to put one on my back road (single carriageway dead end), and it's so narrow it doesn't even work. Nice use of public money! | Matthew |
| 31-8-2007 | I'm soon to be returning home to the UK after living in Sydney for 3 years (and we don't have many bumps here). One of the things I'm not looking forward to is the speed bumps! I appreciate and understand the reason why we have them but I personally think they cause more harm than good...more | Lynne |
| 08-8-2007 | I like the speed humps you can drive over/round.
A good driver can position their car accuratly and not have to slow down.
Whereas a worse driver who cannot position their car accurately has to slow down.
Perfect! The worse/more dangerous drivers have to slow down, but competent ones can just ca...more | Good'un |
| 30-7-2007 | the person who designed speed humps must have been a car hijacker that's why "he" made them posible. He was just too curious about how to make them "stop" so that he could do his things when he was a thug. Damn...! | mojondolo |
| 16-7-2007 | Just remember that these humps are to make the roads safer.
So why am I looking at the road for the humps instead of straight ahead ! | Mike |
| 04-6-2007 | Graham, The idiot who tried to bounce you off the roundabout can't read. There's a great big sign before you enter a mini-roundabout saying "Give Way", meaning Give Way to anyone who is already on the roundabout. A miniround effectively only has room for one car at a time. If you w...more | Griper |
