Streetfilms® | These Speed Humps Are Kinda Like Car Kryptonite (in Providence, RI) @StreetfilmsCommunity | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Okay. Yes, yes I have seen p-l-e-n-t-y of speed humps. But while on vacation in Providence, Rhode Island I stopped and observed this site on West Main Street where they have installed a series of these modular speed humps and they work really really well. I was amazed while there for 20 minutes or so to see that maybe only a handful of nearly 100 vehicles I saw hit them quickly, and even they slowed down.
What was even more impressive is that the stretch of road they are on when they approach has most vehicles in the 20-30+ mph range. And seeing many of the cars fly up to the speed humps and then abruptly hit the brakes is fascinating.
Is it the angle of design? The color? The fact that there are gaps between each? Who the heck knows, but seeing how cars commonly hit some speed humps in my NYC neighborhood at 20mph or faster while barely decreasing their speeds, I'd love to see more of these!
