I'm talking about traffic humps of course.

I have to drive through 7 traffic humps in 100m on one road everyday to come to my house.

Anybody think we have gone mad with these humps recently??

I know they are needed to calm down some of our more paddle happy motorist, but they cannot be good for the environment or the vehicles, travelers etc..

The solution? read this article, interesting

unpainted humps are very dangerous thing at nigh time on unlited or poorly lighted roads!

With the driving what it is here, humps are a small inconvenience.

Speed humps are more effective all around doha streets or main road especially at road crossing. So dont get mad it is for our own safety...I PREFER ROAD HUMPS than TOMB HUMPS.
