      Speed bumps are far from the best method of traffic calming. A gentle curve like this is a friendlier way of getting the same result

        Anecdote: a street near my house in high school had speed bumps next to the park. Occasionally people would be woken up at 3am to a dunk Douchebag shredding down the road at 50 and launching himself off the speed bumps and smashing into stretside cars.

        Eventually they had the bright idea (after a few years in a row of snowplows damaging their blades and the road needing repairs) to make a gentle S-curve instead. Now you don’t feel like you can go 10mph over the limit, the road only needs minor repairs every 5 yearsnor so, and to my knowledge nobody has launched themselves into stationary vehicles in many years.

          While I appreciate the well thought out comment, I can’t help but note that they should’ve used the Transporter Room since you were around!
