    The ones near me are heavily signed. There’s usually 4 sign posts on each one. They’re big, bright, and an utter blight on the landscape.

    I actually drive between them because my car is narrow. I drive down my entire street in the middle of the road and weave oncoming traffic. Again, I’m not sure what sped humps do for safety.

    One thing that makes them “equally unpleasant” for everyone is a straight-through muffler. At 2AM, my neighbors are just an inconvenienced as I am when I drop back to first gear 6 times. My council refers to speed humps as “traffic calming devices”. In reality, it just aggravates it.

      Straight thru mufflers are generally a good way to inconvenience others.
