> This seems like a really stupid tactical error. A street near somewhere I used to live started seeing more pass-through traffic and lobbied the city to install a speed bump on the street so cars would slow down. Unfortunately, that meant that drivers would speed up to the bump, brake hard (creating lots of noise) to go over the speed bump, or would roll around it via the bike lane. Ultimately the solution ended up closing off the street for through traffic. So yes, ignoring how drivers will react to your machinations is indeed a tactical error.
