our street has recently been made 20 and speedbumps have been installed.
it is impossible to drive any more than that safely anyway.
it's one of those streets that are effectively single file due to parked cars on either side.

the speed some drivers go through is staggering. total disregard for noise, safety and rules.

aibu to put some nails out? will not do it but am pantasising

So cars can only go at 20? Why is it a problem?

mousmous · 15/06/2014 00:04

it wouldn't be a problem if the cars were going 20.
some come past at 40 or 50 I recon.
not safe and noisy.

If they're the speed humps that cars can straddle easily, I really don't get the point of them. People can just drive at normal speeds.

Get a high-vis jacket and a hairdryer or something similar, stand outside looking important and pointing the device at speeding cars.

biscuit is it wrong that I so want to try that Grin or shall I just pantasise about it!

mousmous · 15/06/2014 11:16

the speedbumps should be higher.
is it worth calling the council about it?

smith :o I'm now wondering what the hell that is? is it about pants or panting?

the bumps go all the way over the street, no driving around possible.

speedbumps wreck cars however slowly you drive over them. Those who speed are usually too drunk or stupid to care, or have an urban tank so don't notice, or don't pay for their own car so also don't care.

chicanes are a better bet.

numberplate noting if you can?

Those cut out police man remind me of when I was driving through a village by my mom and dads. It's a 40 mph speed limit in the middle of 60mph countrt lanes.

I saw a police man with a speed gun which made me jump and just double check my speed. When I told my mom she pissed herself laughing.

It was a scarecrow that had been built for the annual scarecrow competition.

It was quite a effective deterrent for a few weeks by all accounts Grin
