Heh, same idea in my old neighborhood. People asked for speed bumps, but when they got them complained they were too jarring on their cars but OTHER kept speeding.. Police increased patrols, residents complained THEY were getting ticketed. Stop signs were installed, residents complained nobody was stopping. Police increased enforcement, residents complained they were getting ticketed again. The whiniest people seem to have the stinkiest shit. Dave
