i wish they put this in front of my house instead of the 3-foot speed bumps, literally the biggest speed bumps i’ve come across throughout all of toronto and the only thing stopping me from going lower. i don’t wanna talk about it

So what happens when ppl see it who dont know what it is and spike the brakes causing more problems?? I think bumps work fine.

> You have to wonder if the designers of the “speed bump of the future” considered that drivers might become conditioned to disregard Pavement Patty and her imaginary cohorts, creating something similar to a “boy who cried wolf” effect. Couldn’t such conditioning reduce drivers’ caution if a real child should cross their path?
First thing that I thought before reading the article. But then again, it’s not like someone will actually think there’s a child instead of a graphic laying flat on the ground…

make the bumpers bigger, people who dont slow down buy more oil pans, mufflers, control arm bushings and struts.

I definitely slow down for speed bumps, hate those things. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t unless you’re driving a beater or something with decent ground clearance.

Yes. But you really don’t see someone saying “I didn’t slow down til the last second cause I assumed it was a speed bump” after they plow a kid?
However, I did miss that sentence.

Haha. Just checking.
I can’t really see anyone confusing those for a live child in any way, though. I think it would act as a more attention grabbing reminder. People would still act appropriately to an actual person walking across the street.
