Default Chinese speedbumps

http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/08...te-speed-bump/
The local government in ShanXi province, China, decided they had enough of people speeding on their highways.

In an effort to stop speeders once and for all, they built a 100 foot long and 2 foot high winding speed block in the middle of the Jing Zhuang highway.

Interesting way to go about it.

If you look at the "bose suspension" system on youtube, our speedbumps may be old news in 10 years or so.

Brilliant. Makes sense to me. I wonder what Paramedics would say about it.

roundabouts are a better way to go about this problem.
