Asked whether confusing and/or tricking drivers with such images might create such unintended hazards, David Dunne of the British Columbia Automobile Association Traffic Safety Foundation said that pedestrians need to be just as alert as drivers.

Re: Speed Bumps Reply #1 - 09/09/10 at 08:10:25 drivers might become conditioned to disregard Pavement Patty and her imaginary cohorts, creating something similar to a "boy who cried wolf" effect. Couldn't such conditioning reduce drivers' caution if a real child should cross their path? My first thot. Seems like a bad idea to me.

Put a REAL speed bump in there.. a BIG one. Mark it in BRIGHT colors and stripes. Nothing will slow somebody down more than a speed bump that means business. Angry

However, I really like those hard rubber ones where there are gaps for motorcycles to ride through!! Wink

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
