Down with humps
Speed humps are like upside down potholes. As well as shaking vehicles and occupants, they also damage roads when wheels bump on and off.
Bus drivers and passengers suffer unavoidable painful rock and roll.
Gymea main street (a bus route with traffic lights), after a years-long rebuild, has speed humps, with one on the deck of an 80-year-old bridge supporting road, watermain, electricity cables.
Concrete has been shaken off onto the railway station below.
Railway Parade, Kogarah, (a busy bus route) was recently infected with speed hump phobia.
Vehicle speed can be controlled in other ways such as pavement surface painting, signage, speed cameras.
Noise creating, vehicle damaging, occupant distressing, ambulance delaying, speed humps should be flattened.
