Road safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel.
One less used alternative is making roads that are squiggly instead of straight. Like every part of the road is a bend this way or that way, which makes people drive slower because there is never a straightaway.
Having driven on a few of them, they definitely do work. But theyre almost more annoying than speed bumps or dips
Yes, but they’re much more intensive to install and maintain, and they also don’t work well against things like trucks with wide wheel bases and high undercarriages.
Speed bumps are underutilized. I believe there’s a more modern design that doesn’t slow down emergency vehicles too
Please no, i drive a smart car not a tank with wheels. Even under speed those are jarring i fuckin hate the roads that are lined with them.

Those I don’t mind. Smartcar has a wheelbase shorter than i am tall it takes corners like they don’t exist lol
The solution you’re looking for are called potholes.
