Re: Traffic calming

I find the best way to handle speed bumps is to drive at a constant 25 -30 mph along the road but agree they are a nuisance.

The thing is though, how do you make people drive slowly in built up areas? If the bumps are removed some drivers are sure to speed. If speed cameras are put up instead of bumps then the authorities are accused of putting them there to raise revenue. Can anyone make suggestions for effective speed control that everyone would be happy with? It's very often no good leaving it up the sensibility of the motorist.
