our fd mandated no speed bumps on a street that was becoming really popular with shitbags racing up and down saying they would destroy firetruck suspension.
we’re 4 blocks deep in a neighborhood why they want to race around here is beyond me in the first place. and the city didn’t have a problem with the same street having a speed bump on the other side of the green-belt… it’s so fucking arbitrary
Speed “cushions” are designed specifically for this purpose, the wider chassis of emergency vehicles can fit around them so they don’t have to slow down, whereas consumer vehicles will always have at least one tire hit a bump so they have to slow down. These are all over the place in my city.
I’m a school bus driver and I love these fuckin things. It’s so much fun to sail over them at full speed and watch the tailgating asshole behind me go airborne.
