The only reason to remove the bumps would be for emergency vehicles I feel. Still it's unsafe same with cabbies stopping short. The pinch point, while sounds good, seems that would cost more to reshape the street that slap a pre made bump on there. Of course the cheapest is painted lines, word stop, and two stop signs. I believe a law already exists where you have to yield to peds in the walk.

Speed bumps should be placed there to force drivers to slow down. There is no reason for drivers to speed in residential areas. If they go fast and stop suddenly or damage their cars because they are going so fast they cannot slow down on time; they will learn and will go slow next time.

How about curb bump outs? PWD and the Streets Dept. have a program under the GreenCity CleanWaters Program which incorporates plants as well.

the law is mandatory (thats why it's a law :-) but yes @Steve enforcement is key. just stick a bike cop there for a day handing out tickets to EVERY car would fix the problem. I for would pay for one out of my own pocket.

TK, when you say a bike cop, you mean bicycle or motorcycle? Reason I ask is that unless it's a motorcycle, the officer won't be able to catch up. That said, only one car at a time could be stopped that way, unless they have a designated pull over zone further up near Poplar, like during DWI checkpoints.

This is why I advocate a speed bump and signage. One time cost versus paying officer's to sit there. Now, having a speed camera may also waken people up too.

Does anyone in Philadelphia use See Click Fix anymore?
