Re: Speed Humps
I'm wondering if these impact the snow plows that have to clear the snow on those streets. Anyone know if that's an issue?
Re: Speed Humps
They could cause problems, based on experiences elsewhere.

Speed humps look less jarring than speed bumps:

I feel sorry for the TV anchors who have to report on this and try to keep a straight face while they use the phrase "speed hump." Before that, in their office, there's probably been a lot of joking about the phrase, with comments like, "I thought the only place they installed speed humps in Detroit were cheap motels on Eight Mile Road and in the Cass Corridor."

Re: Speed Humps
Speed humps isn't just another name for a nooner or a quickie?

When I was younger I thought Jobbie Nooner was a sexual euphemism.

Re: Speed Humps
Grand Rapids has (or had, it was 2006 last I was there) a lot of speed humps. First time I saw one.. my inner child kicked in.
