My first thought was they look like ramps and I could see a driver thinking that they would damage the car in some way and swerve. Why didn't they just paint a rounded bump or use the 10 dollars they spent in paint to buy concrete and make a real speed bump??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elizabeth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2008 2:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/18/philadelphia-using-3d-illusions-of-speed-bumps-to-slow-traffic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/18/philadelphia-using-3d-illusions-of-speed-bumps-to-slow-traffic/</guid><description><![CDATA['Traffic Calming' is the work of Satan.

I live in West Hartford, CT and I live on what has become a Cut Thru street for the locals and now large trucks. It's a residential road that was not designed for large trucks and soccer moms in large SUVs driving double the speed limit. I witness it on a regualr basis. Stop signs and any other way of slowing traffic is needed. People are too distracted as it is now in their cars with coffee, make-up, crackberry, cell phone and little johnny in back crying for his sippy cup and fruit loops. I have a 19 month old and we thought we bought a house on a calm street. Now our town is trying to come up with slowing people down. Anything will help. Not sure about 3D pitcograms(sp?) on the street. How about an old fashioned stop sign at intersections? We have 2 on a 1 mile long road and I never see people do the speed limit on the road and there are 3 other intersections. 3 stop signs at the other intersections would do 2 thigns: 1. slow people down because they'll never make it to 3rd gear and 2. eventually they will get sick of having to stop at each intersection, change to the main roads, hence, the traffic has been calmed. <br><br>PLUS... why do you (not you specifically) need to do 60 in a 35mph residential road anyway?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[garlinski]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2008 10:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/18/philadelphia-using-3d-illusions-of-speed-bumps-to-slow-traffic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/18/philadelphia-using-3d-illusions-of-speed-bumps-to-slow-traffic/</guid><description><![CDATA[The answer to people using residential streets as high-speed short cuts is called a dead end.
