On the subject of traffic calming, there’s a notorious stretch of road near me that seems to 1) suspend all common sense and decency from 4 wheeled road users, and 2) attract assholes, boy racers and unapologetic fools. Over half a mile there’s 5 islands, a zebra crossing and 8 sets of road bumps, all useless at getting people to drive more slowly and carefully.
The ones I especially hate are the road humps that have spaces between them, presumably so cyclists can go through? Nah, all it does is encourage the metal wrapped cnut driving beside or opposite me, doing 40 in a 20, to swerve into my path just so they don’t have to slow down.
Stupid useless infrastructure.
