Road Humps.

katex · 23-01-2010, 13:48

Notice from the LCC in the Observer of their proposal to introduce road humps to the following streets:

Hope Street
Major Street
Richmond Hill Street
Higher Antley Street
Perth Street
Carter Street
Marsden Street

They do list the actual residencies where they will be laid, will put them up if anyone wishes to know... plans can, as usual, be viewed at Scaitcliffe House.

I presume, though, that residents have been informed, but just in case you missed it and have any objections, etc.

Hmm, they propose these thing's and if you are lucky enough to get one alongside the road, the Police come along and either, move you and your partner along, or do you both for indecent exposure.

as far as i know Kate no one can object to them being outside their property, when ours where put in about 5 years ago all the residents around here got notice of this on paper, and a kind of map as to where they would be put, we have one between my dads garden and mine (obviously in the road) and we weren't pleased about it at the time but as it goes i now think its brilliant, the cars always slow right down when they come to it, they use this road as a cut through from Intack traffic lights, instead of going up Whitebirk road to the lights they cut up my street and come out at Wynsors, it gets reallly busy at tea time, the bumps have slowed that down considerably....so i'm all for them, now anyway

luckily for my car none of these streets are on any of my routes.

perhaps they should concentrate on making a safe size for these speedbumps your supposed to be able to go 30mph over them by rights, i wouldnt mind them if they only buggered cars up that were speeding but some of these bumps they lay down you need a tow rope and a sturdy 4x4 to pull you over them

ok im been a bit fecicious but i think many drivers will agree some of these bumps they lay down are taking the piff a little

Is he now?

Is he a slow and careful 'driver' or a fast and furious one?

flashy · 25-01-2010, 08:47

depends how much rage he has when driving

Actually you can Flashy .. the invitation is there in black and white on the notice.

I suppose the problem is why would you object. These are the main objections:

Damage to vehicles
Visually detrimental to the Environment
Access to your property
Accident statistics on the street (you would need to go through Freedom of Information Act to get these)

Not good enough objections though particularly.

Problem is with lowering a speed limit to 20 m.p.h.; not a favourite one of the police as their cameras do not recognise this at the moment, so not much alternative but to put physical restricitions on the road to slow the motorist down.

Even an emergency vehicle has to also give consideration in a side street Cashy where a child could dart out at any moment. Better of two evils I guess.
