A speed trap is a kind of violence, yes. Have you ever hit one of those things at high speed before? Ouch.
EDIT: I've been away from the States for too long. I was indeed thinking about speed bumps, not traps. Traps are cameras, and they therefore get a thumbs up from me in the beautiful bounties-on-everything-we-care-about future.
- ffsm8 1y agoa speed trap is a device that measures the speed of cars that drive by it. It's usually on the sidewalk or (as I proposed here) in a property adjacent to the street. You're not supposed to hit them. Are you talking about speed bumps?
- hiAndrewQuinn 1y agoI am! Mea maxima culpa. Yes, I agree with you.
- moooo99 1y agoEven ignoring that misunderstanding, speed bumps can be absolutely great. They can‘t be installed everywhere since they also significantly slow down emergency services, but combine speedbumps and a crosswalk and you get a raised crosswalk, which is a great measure to increase pedestrian safety.
