Maybe the garage, spray shop and tyre place complained that they could not work safely on the footpath and road while they cause an obstruction themselves.

Have you seen the piles of tyres they have stuck half blocking the footpath advertising themselves?

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:confused:), 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.

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

cars parked 3 accross at the junction so they can chat to each other is another nice trick they like to do and the filthy angry looks you get if you dare show indication that your waiting for them to get off the wrong side of the road so you can pass

the lad who runs the wash place is decent its just some of his customers are complete dicks but who am i to object to the world standing still so that someone can say hi to a friend whos getting his car cleaned

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

The guy who runs it must be a bit dim, if he lets em block the road, good way to lose business.

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

i wouldnt say its the oners fault i use him and when i leave my car he parks it out of teh way while it waits for me to collect it.Problims arise when customers friends start pulling up to watch whats going on and have a chat in the middle of the road

I was invited to comment on a rush-hour 20mph proposal near my house. I said it didn't matter to me, as I never cross at school time, and as I live there, I'm always under 20mph anyway as I'm either arriving or leaving. However I know there are about two-dozen kids cross the road outside my house, so extending it an extra 20 yards or so would benefit them, too.

The response I got was that drivers would ignore it if it's that much longer. I decided not to waste my breath - it's obvious the consultation is a formality and they didn't actually expect anyone to have an opinion.

And just so they know for next time - drivers are ignoring it at its current length anyway.

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

They drive down our street ( which is a 20 mph zone) at speed to see how high they can fly over the speed humps

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

I would mate, if twas my business i certainly would be asking em not to block the road.

Re: 80% chance a child will live
 

And then complain when their exhaust pipe drops off:D
