For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I voted B, if A had not included speed bumps and had just been the chicane type physical blocks I would have gone for that though, if you've ever lived in a house anywhere near a speed bump you'll know they are hated by residents due to the thumps transmitted through the ground caused when large vehicles go over them....

I agree with what Chuck says about speed humps. I generally drive round the estate at a very slow speed, but some of the humps are enormous. Our road is a bit of a rat run and people slow down a bit, hit the hump, speed up and then brake before the next one. Our room is at the front of the house and it drives me bananas.
I have speed bumps on one road and chicanes on another near me. As Chuck says the bumps are hated by drivers and residents alike. However both like the chicanes, the residents say they're quieter and safer, and the drivers prefer them because it's less damaging to the vehicle. they also seem to work better, with less speeding up between each chicane. Given a choice the majority, including myself, prefer the chicane method. Does anybody know the costs of each instillation?.
the good old days pre 65 when you could do the ton and speed cameras were not even in the eagle with dan dare

Chicanes are a much better concept but only if they include signs showing priority, if they dont then the arrogant drivers who think the road belongs to them alone just charge in and cause even more chaos/accidents.
Humps should be banned as they are a nuisance to motorists and those living near the roads they are on, plus as others have said nature is providing plenty of concave speed bumps that councils cant afford to fix.

I live in a small village on anglesey, the council asked the locals to give their views on having speed bumps installed, the votes were about 17 in favour and 8 against, I was against as they were not needed and would be expensive for the council.
I got a reply saying they already had the money to do it from the EU so they were going ahead.
Stupud!
