My car has a terrible suspension so I hate speed bumps. Even people with decent cars probably feel the same way. Wouldn’t it be awesome if the speed bump flattened when you were driving slow?
While the city of Philadelphia is content with using 3D images to deter speeders, the authorities in ShanXi province, China are taking a far more drastic approach. They built a 100 foot (30 metres) long, 2 foot (60cm) high, winding speed block smack dab in the middle of the Jing Zhuang highway. Sure, it scratches up cars, looks hideous and causes massive traffic jams, but hey–by screwing everyone it manages to screw the speeders. Suck on that leadfoot!
