we have this issue on my street: we can't get speed bumps because it's an access point for the local fire department, and apparently they can only navigate the wide-low speed bumps (that do little to slow down traffic because people just drive 50mph over them).

it's ridiculous. we're on a one-car-wide side lane so traffic routinely snarls to a stop as people decide it's their god-given turn to go now and honk and gesticulate instead of letting everyone get on with their lives. and when it's not jammed with that bullshit, people are flying down the street (kids living in every house down both sides). Fucking nutbags.
