    You’re clearly never seen a vehicle hit a speeed bump at speed, it causes lose of control. So if you’re going straight, you’re actually safer this way. But people following the law still slow down.

      I was commenting about how it was implemented on a straight street with no obvious considerations for the lanes
      going into the spaces where cars are parked. Just about how they did it on this specific street, and not about comparative safety.

          I was extremely clear about what my point was. Do you assume I ‘really mean’ something other than what I wrote?

            I was hoping your point was something other than “I don’t understand it, so I’m dumb”, but thank you for clarifying.

              If you still think I don’t understand that chicanes are good but that I am criticizing this specific one then your reading comprehension sucks.

                Again, just because you can’t see how it’s beneficial doesn’t mean it’s not!

                Chicans don’t always need physical curbs or other means! Today YOU learned! Neat eh?

                Physical curbs are what would CAUSE someone to hit that black truck, but clearly you and other people who think they’ll just plow into the back of it, probably shouldn’t have a license.

                Also, who’s cares if a parked car gets it? No one is injured, and guess what, it’s its OWN barrier itself! Neat eh!

                  Where did I say that there should be curbs? You keep responding as if Isaid anything about speed bumps or curbs when I never did.

                  Learn to read.

                    I was the one talking about speed bumps, and a common feature of Chicanes are curbs or other physical obstructions.

                    So if you aren’t talking about speed bumps like my comment was, and you don’t want a physical barrier… the hell is your point?

                    We can read, you are just absolute shit at making your point mate.

      Say what? Speed bumps work better at speed because your suspension sorta floats over them. Hit one at 35MPH vs. 15MPH, you’ll see what I mean. Same as driving the rutted dirt road to our camp. 5-10MPH has you bouncing all over the place. 30MPH is about the right zone.

      No idea what you’re saying about loss of control. Maybe our speed bumps are entirely different?

        How does suspension float over a BUMP? There’s other methods that are road divots, but bumps protrude up from the road….
