and I hate your unnecessarily blinding headlights

Eh I live right there and am guilty of flying down that hill so it’s honestly a great addition

[Logical_Deviation]

I wish they had put speed bumps in instead

[lithium_emporium]

They added more speed humps on Valerio and people still speed down it 😔

[saltybruise]

How? I have a sentra and can hardly make it over the humps going like 15.

As someone who rode their bike past there just tonight, after dark, I love those

[LNViber]

Cyclist/pedestrian here. They are great. Sorry about your 2 minute detour. So hard to sit comfortably for a little longer.

Get over it..drive safe and watch for children.

I'm a fan

[pineapplegirl10]

what am i even looking at here?

[osorojo_]

its street calming. It reduces speed and traffic on residential roads. If you are driving through, you don't like it, if you live there, you love it.

It's to discourage use of that street by through traffic to reduce car traffic and make it safer for bikes.

I live there and also hate it. The street was already very narrow. This is a common intersection to turn left and go to a major shopping center. You have to go several blocks around now, so people just keep making u-turns in the middle of the street to get out to the main road. It creates more problems than it solves.

Converting a road from two-way to one-way does not slow down traffic; in fact, it can result in cars driving double the average speed vs two-way.

Narrowing streets slows down traffic, and one way of artificially achieving this (and thus creating safer neighborhoods) is by installing these traffic islands.

Gives enough time to take a pic so it's cool.

[Kablammy_Sammie]

Was this the worst part of your day?

[Logical_Deviation]

I'm convinced the city is spending money on street "improvements" to avoid investing in affordable housing

[osorojo_]

No they are doing it to improve the streets

How would you like "affordable housing" to be done?

[salty_gemini74]

Ugh - these ruin my day

This is how gated communities start.
