    US officials try faux speed bumps to slow drivers

    PHILADELPHIA - Cathy Campbell did a double-take and tapped the brakes when she spotted what appeared to be a pointy-edged box lying in the road just ahead.
    ...
    It was a fake speed bump, a flat piece of blue, white and orange plastic that is designed to look like a 3-D pyramid from afar when applied to the pavement

    What is it just too simple to pull people over for speeding now? We have to complicate things? And guess who pays for this lovely art deco piece

    it isnt about speeding or pulling people over.

    It's over revenues. Follow the money.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    If speeding were truly unsafe, cars would be built with governors that prevent them from going over 65 mph, or whatever the national speed limit was at the time the car was built.
