Read in the paper where an anti-speed bump group was organizing to
meet.

The group is meeting to discuss the out-of-control placement of speed
bumps without consideration for short- and long-term negative effects,
and the possible use of alternatives.

The group noted that the county's own studies show that the speed
bumps installed so far were insignificant in reducing speeds, and they
only diverted traffic elsewhere causing more congestion, and in
general the bumps make everyone miserable dealing with them.

The group (Save our Streets, or S.O.S.) is working to petition the
government to change laws to limit speed bumps and use better
alternatives.
