Problem with this is that jaywalking laws are rarely enforced; coppers just can't be bothered getting their donut fueled fat asses out of their patrol cars.
We are getting more and more of these speed humps (I always thought speed humping was something one did if her husband was due home soon
), but the city seems to be doing a good job of constructing them. If they put them on a 40 klick limit street, you can take them at around 45, no problem. They are usually placed in areas where "concerned citizens" (assholes with too much free time on their hands) kick up a fuss. And you can't navigate around them, they go from sidewalk (pavement
) to sidewalk.
And talking of pedestrians ... the new kid on the block seems to be "distracted walking". Kids at Holy Cross High School have produced a number of ads alerting young people (the main offenders) to the dangers of distracted walking.
