ranma Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 LOL, not in this town they don't slow them down the still speed over them or drive around them.
Draggon Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Yea, well, those are pretty small. The speed bumps around my place are on steroids. 6 feet wide and 8 inches high.
angelo7 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 The speed bumps around my place are on steroids. 6 feet wide and 8 inches high. They should put those in every STOP sign.
Harry P. Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Around here we have tons of "speed bumps," except we call them "pot holes"...
Joe Handley Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Around here we have tons of "speed bumps," except we call them "pot holes"... Lol, you should try Rt. 38 from downtown Geneva west to Rt. 47 Harry. They started resurfacing the worst sections of it and now it's nice and smooth, but also a minefield of manholes sticking 2+ inches above the road and lane closures installing them along the more residential portion of the road. The new over pass at the UP (ex C&NW) tracks is nearing completion, but there is now drainage work being done along 38 in West Chicago where Fabian Pkwy and Washington St meet 38.......my drive to work currently sucks worse than normal..........

They just finishing resurfacing Barrington Road here. What a mess... traffic tie-ups like you wouldn't believe. The worst part... when they're only partway finished, still needing the top layer, and all the manholes are sticking up about 3-4 inches above the road surface. If you run over one you can easily blow a tire or bend a rim. They spraypaint them with fluorescent paint to "warn" you, but they're awfully hard to see at night.
Joe Handley Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I only take 38 on the way in, between the roads, traffic, construction, and late night j-walkers, I hate running it from Kress Rd. in West Chicago west to Randall Rd. I usually go home 64 instead, a little longer, but the roads are better, they're better lit so you can more easily see the j-walkers, and there's no construcion going on!
slusher Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Around here we have tons of "speed bumps," except we call them "pot holes"... I -40 is like that now but when they plow maybe twice a year they drop the blade to low. I saw sparks coming off the blade.
Roadrunner Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Yea, well, those are pretty small. The speed bumps around my place are on steroids. 6 feet wide and 8 inches high. Same here, like railroad ties.
