- mattkrause 10y agoThe comment there suggests calling them “bump l’œil”, which is genius.
- nneonneo 10y agoHumans will quickly learn that these things are fake and just drive over them at full speed, though. It might stop people new to the area, but not the majority of people who live there.
- huac 10y agoI think that's reasonable but perhaps not that important. In a school zone, the neighborhood people presumably send their kids there/have friends kids there, and are likely to slow down anyways. Even if you don't, it could be a useful reminder given that it's a school zone to really take it slow. It's not a perfect solution but with how much cheaper it is perhaps still viable.
