    Speed bumps might be annoying but they’re for people who can’t get it in their head to slow down!!! That’s a problem MANY people here have and don’t seem to care. I’m sad for this man and pray for him and his family.

    Rob,

    they just need to change out that speed bump you are talking about with a higher and squarer speed bump, I drive a lifted 1/2 ton and i slow way down for those.

    People FLY over the speed bumps on Tate Road just north of the high school. There are a ton of people who just aren’t phased by these at all.
