Virtual Speed Bumps Installed in Philadelphia: A good idea?

Chr*stopher June 17, 2008 21:57:54

Optical illusions will be painted onto city streets in the United States in an effort to slow traffic. The images will appear as 3D barriers to oncoming motorists, although the road is completely flat. The fake speed bumps are being installed at 100 junctions around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as part of a campaign against aggressive driving. The virtual bumps are the latest innovative measure adopted as an alternative to traditional "sleeping policemen", which have been criticized for damaging cars, slowing down emergency vehicles, and lowering fuel economy.
 Yes: Virtual speed bumps are a great idea. Technology at it's best!
No: Virtual speed bumps would be confusing. Bad idea.
Hmm, virtual speed bumps. I'm not sure what I think.
You!
