Recently, some towns in my area have installed speed bumps on certain roads in an attempt to curtail speeding. I think that this is an excellent idea. I live on a residential street; several times a day cars go by at speeds well in excess of 25 miles per hour. As a parent of young children, this definitely concerns me. I try to make a point of driving within the speed limit and carefully in other residential areas, and I would like to see others do the same.
About a year ago, my town's mayor and a councilwoman were walking through my neighborhood in advance of the '08 election. I had the chance to talk to them for a few minutes and I brought up this very point. I specifically said that my street was one that would benefit from a speed bump. So far, this has not been done, but a couple of speed bumps have been installed in other parts of town. I'm optimistic that some day this will change. In the mean time, I ask everyone to slow down and pay attention, especially in residential areas. I promise to do so as well.
