BUT, I wish they would put them down my road. The road is very narrow, parking on one side only. That leaves just enough room for cars to get past, It is one way only so the idiots drive down at 40 to 50 mph. I have had to replace the rear view mirror 3 times because it got knocked off. I am not the only one. There have been three kids knocked over on the road so in this case I can put up with them. Why is it that they get put in where they are not nessesary?. If they ever put one in, ask them to put in the newest ones out, they are lower and wider bumps and they don't jar the heck out of you if you go over them either, not like the little perky pit bumps that destroy your wheel alignment. Yes, they are maddening on low-riders and then some. Would you believe I have an lot of schools around me here, so we got them in some areas. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

If there weren't such idiots on the roads we wouldn't need them in the first place!!! Shirley...it's no good telling our councils what ones, they just don't listen to anything we say!

Knocks the heck out the suspension, thus the bus too.They don't put one in Shirley; they're endless having to brake/accelaerate about every 30 seconds around here, thus increases pollution too. A day doing town work and you'll have driven over 100s of them all day. Several on the main roads have now been altered to speed cushions to help larger vehicles which can straddle them while your car still gets knocked about. Going too fast, Maria? Typically 10 mph and less. Used near schools? Good idea--they even work when schools out, or as now, on holidays and no kids about, and still driving around in 1st and 2nd gear on now empty roads.
