3-D speed bumps - (Sep/10/2010 )

THIS has been causing quite of a stir lately. So guys, is this one those "what were they thinking?" or "why haven't they thought that one before?" moments? Progress or just jumping on the 3Dwagon?

A good idea, I need one in front of my house ;) ...but of course all the speed merchants usually driving there get used to it fast...

eum, sounds dangerous.. if you brake all of a sudden... I dont know if you see it from a distance or not? If it is something you see from far then there is no problem I think..

Here in belgium they started using a similar thing too.

one-time-use-only? Next time the driver will already understand what it is :P

then. . . U don't look at these when driving past a school. U r texting, remember?

Yeah, they it sounds dangerous to me.

The typical reaction to the image would be one of panic caused by the belief that you are about to kill a child (essentially).

Of the rock and the hard place, I'd prefer a speeding driver over a panicked driver to be on the road.

It's as if they thought up a great idea and refused to think about it anymore in case the wrecked the greatness of it.
