Our city council last night approved the installation of speed humps on our street, which is awesome.\u00c2\u00a0 The vote was 7-0.<\/p>\n

“But Mark,” you say, “don’t you mean ‘speed bumps<\/em>?'”\u00c2\u00a0 No.\u00c2\u00a0 I admit to a certain level of ignorance on the various modes of traffic calming<\/a> before all this stuff started.\u00c2\u00a0 For the record, a speed bump is a narrow, high impediment that requires a driver to slow to somewhere around 5 mph to avoid a major jolt.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve all experienced those.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re typically three-to-five inches high and only about a foot from edge to edge.<\/p>\n

A speed hump <\/em>is 12 feet from edge to edge and about three inches high at its highest point, which means you can approach it at a higher rate a speed.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re actually pretty cool.\u00c2\u00a0 If you hit one at, say, 25 mph, you barely notice it.\u00c2\u00a0 But hit it at 30, and you start to really feel the bump.\u00c2\u00a0 The effect gets more noticeable as your speed increases.<\/p>\n

We’re hoping the city installs the humps before this school year begins, which is when the traffic really tends to get out of hand in our neighborhood.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll post some pictures as soon as they’re in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
