Variable Speed Bumps

This is a pretty brilliant idea, and I hope it catches on. Decano Industries makes speed bumps that only appear if you are driving over the speed limit.

The system measures the level of impact your car makes when it touches the front of the bump. If the impact is low enough, the rubber covered triangles collapse under the weight of the car. If the bump is too vigorous, the triangle locks together jolting the driver.



This would be great, because even the over sized speed bumps require you to slow down under 20. Lawrence puts those things in 30 mile per hour zones, which I find highly annoying. I'm obeying the law, why do I need to be bothered.

You could even put a large number of bumps clumped together to make it very uncomfortable for speeders.
