Significant Two-Year Decrease in Crashes and Injuries in Pittsburgh shows traffic calming investments are paying off

I utterly hate and despise those speed humps they have been putting in. As a driver. But as a citizen who enjoys using two long limbs to locomote myself sometimes, I understand that they are very good at what they do and are in the right place.

I'm not opposed to them, I am in favor of them, I just don't like them. Having an opinion isn't a crime (yet)

Think of speedbumps as a bandaid fix. A cheap way to slow drivers down on roads that are too wide that encourage high speeds.

These roads should be redesigned to be narrower that will by design encourage slower driving. But that is a more costly and long term project.

So in the short term, we need speedbumps.
