Speed bumps suck. Especially for cyclists. While lifted bro-dozer trucks can just cruise over them.
To slow down drivers, create horizontal barriers (choke points), not vertical ones.
Fair and valid point I had not considered. I guess I’d prefer to have a separated bike lane with proper dividers anyway, but either way, you raise a point I had not considered.
not even bro-dozer trucks, I have a un-modified (unless you count dents and rust) ~10y old pickup and a fairly new ‘sporty’ sedan (i.e. low-profile tires, stiff suspension, somewhat lower to the ground). Sedan has to come almost to a stop or I will scrape something. In the pickup slowing down is optional (though I do because regardless of speed bumps I don’t want to hit someone)
