nice idea and cheap

where i live nothing slows down the CREW CAB TRUCKS that are as big as a 40 passenger bus

it is rumored that the speed of light has been broken at some time by one of them..

Hi M,
Yep, that's them, except our ones are black and they don't have white lines all around, only on the leading edge. The interesting thing is that we have these in quite a few of our villages and of course the trucks busses and large vehicles don't slow down at all, and if you have one of those behind you, you slow, they don't, you have to watch out. The one thing I found out trying to talk to the authorities was it is controlled by local councils and even village councils. I bet if they were wide enough that the trucks and busses were hitting them, it would be another story, trouble is they won't do that because of us bikers. They should get rid of them. Have a great Christmas M wish you well.
Alan.

Hi again M,
I have just looked at your post with the painted ( speed humps) absolutely terrible because people will get used to them and not slow down as they are doing in the vid and then two cars going in opposite directions FORGET hit the bumps and collide. If you want the answer to a problem go down the alley and if it works then ok, if it doesn't, don't do it The end of the alley of a road is the motorway. If you stuck speed humps on a motorway that wouldn't half slow things down. You can't do that obviously so don't do it period. It doesn't work it just arses up the vehicle suspension.

Another angle that might find more support with the council is the ecological one: these humps are bad for the environment!

They force people to break, which converts the kinetic energy in their vehicle into heat, and after that they have to accelerate again. A huge loss & destruction of energy, and furthermore it enhances emission of greenhouse gasses, pollution and global warming. This is acerbated by the enhanced wear on pads, disks & shock absorbers, replacement of which further strains the supply chain. And finally there is the mental health issue: they enhance stress, which ultimately further loads the NHS.

And if all that doesn't work - jump!

Hi,
That last remark is about right Puffs, how high do you suggest I go for?
Alan.

As high & far as you can Alan, jumping is always good.
But watch out with landing - that's when the problems come!

More seriously, I know how demotivating fighting officials can be...
