New Speed Control

Ha Ha someone will complain that it’s now way to spend taxes.LOLAlistair ps just thought straddling the hole could mean crossing onto the next lane slightly seems dangerous to me.

LOL! That’s a good one!

There’s this little town in Alabama that’s along a state highway. At the main intersection in town they’ve setup an old police car with a mannequin inside, it stays there 24×7. The locals all know about it and ignore it but it sure slows down the folks just passing through! :-)

I love it….....This could eliminate one of the problems with speed bumps….as it would not slow down ambulances or fire trucks.

-- Life used to be soooo much simpler!!!!

Great One, Karson!!

I’ve seen examples of what Tim said, here in PA. They are used quite often in construction areas.

That’s a good one…........ ROFLMAO

Looks like the streets in New Orleans. Those wouldn’t slow any of the locals down.

Great one Karson. I just love the humor we post along with the serious woodworking stuff as well. That is a good one. Tim, I also know of a xmall town in Oklahoma that uses the same tactic, old police car with dummy. Looks so real.

Welll, I have an experience straddling a huge pot hole with my car. It was on a residential street with parked cars on both sides, and it was a two-way street. There was a car behind me and I slowed down to gently dip into the hole because of the two way traffic and since there were no cars coming from the opposit direction, the driver behind me got impatient and edged around me. The driver was an elderly man with his wife, a couple that were maybe in their 70’s? and as he passed me (with my Dad in the passenger seat), he flipped me the “Bird”. I guess I pissed him off going too slow on a road he thought I should have been going faster.

This wasn’t the first time I was given the sign of an avian by an old Phart. Must be my charisma.

Are those tombstones on the right side next to the brick wall?

There were some experiments that had manicans seated in police cars. It did slow traffic. I haven’t heard of any cities picking up the program. I guess it may be a case of punishment being more lucrative than prevention.

I’m not rolling down my window for no manikan cop.

I wonder if a picture of a patched pothole would be cheaper than the real patch.

Where can I get some? I need them for my street!

Odie,

I was just up in Lake Tahoe and Truckee two weeks ago. I think you guys already have those don’t you? The snow plows and chains do a number on pavement up there.
