Cincinnati has been installing these truly egregious speed bumps everywhere. They're the kind with a raised edge and are unsafe to drive over at 15mph, slapped in a 35mph zone.
It's made things even less safe. Instead of everyone moving at a consistent (if high) speed, people still drive the same speed and just slam on the brakes to get over the speed bump, accelerate back to speed, slam on the brakes for the next bump.
I've started to reroute my commute around these dangerous obstacles in the road, as have many others. Now we have a net increase in travel time, CO2 emitted, and the roads are more dangerous than ever. Less-maintained backroads are taking more traffic than normal causing increased wear.
Truly the worst of all possible options.

- Ekaros 2y agoSoon we will only have EVs with regenerative breaks so everything is fine. Apart from reality that at these deacceleration rates mechanical breaks get used... So it is all going to spend more energy and thus propagate climate change, which will kill people...
- Moldoteck 2y agoYou say less safe, but do you actually have the stats regarding pedestrian deaths dynamic in those areas?
