    I agree Frank, as the street in front of the grand kids house seems to be a 1/4 mile track for misbehaving clownwads. Even the one lane road we are on has them...almost used a broom handle on one, on a dirt bike with an expansion chamber...and I like bike people generally but this guy was hitting 60 into a blind corner.

    However the height is an issue with low slung cars like my SC. I have dinked/cracked the rubber/ABS(?) air dam several times and cracked it going slow (Full Stop, creap up) because the height of the burm was too steep and high!!...even approaching at an angle. They should be standardized to accommodate All Vehicles...or mount Radar linked mini guns or laws rockets and take clownwads out as they reach 10mph over the limit.

    And Jon...don't for get the cost compared to asphalt...F...but novel a Cute...Practical and efficient...nah!

    Part of our street has some speed bumps (about 800metres) but every year or so the local council grades the road for the donut twits.
    Years ago I had a ute with tricked suspension for carrying a camper while towing a boat.:2 mph was a pain over speed bumps but 60 kph was a mere blimp.
