It might be more effective for the sign to read “4 points + $280 fine” instead of “80km/h” when you’re in a 40km/h zone, no?

    Speed bumps are a really efficient way of controlling speed. No driver in their right minds would approach one faster than 25kmh

    unlike speed cams they can’t be vandalized and if you ignore them you’re physically sanctioned there and then

      I agree. And I’d have them ahead of every stop sign if I could!

      At the very least, speed bumps should be on all roadways that are designated bike routes.

      Of course, NIMBYs fight hard against speed bumps.

        Raised pedestrian crossings are great at intersections and mid-block crosswalks.

        I think they’re a little more difficult for car suspensions to dampen since they’re wider/longer, so even American-sized SUVs and trucks have to slow down.
