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.
