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.

Block off the 'rat runs'.Most of them are residential streets that if one end is blocked off it makes the drivers who are using it for access(and driving too fast) just go find another access route.Won't be possible for every 'rat run' but it will work for the majority.Otherwise humps and chicanes are all that I can think of.
