This is not overblown. Be a more skeptical reader.

Exactly right.

More speed bumps going up on Cleveland Park streets. How do folks feel about that?

Might as well put them on every street and all get SUVs at this point. They have popped up all over the place in NW this summer. There's only goong to be more of them if people don't say anything.

I’ll say something!

More speed bumps, please!

As we can see, there's a very persistent and vocal minority. Unfortunately they are being listened to.

Excellent!

You realize that speed bumps only encourage drivers to buy cars with higher suspensions?

Why don’t you just slow down instead? Then speed bumps in residential neighborhoods wouldn’t be needed.

Think that through for a minute.

People are already driving slow and cars are safer now than ever before. The truth is that there is no speed that a car would drive at that would satisfy you.

So you are a mind-reader now? Pls tell me how you know my darkest deepest thoughts about speed bumps?

Slow down.

Slow down.

Okay show me the data. How many vehicle accidents have occurred on these roads and how many have been attributed to excess speed?

Sounds like you already have an SUV.

Once speed bumps go in they never get taken away. They are one of those things that's a lot easier to install than remove.

They put one on our street, which I wasn't expecting, but I'm glad. It is a multi-school zone and also a cut through street, and there have been so many accidents including pedestrians hit, and 10x the near misses.

Awesome! Can we get more? And can other neighborhoods get in on this action?

Nothing says “you are welcome here” more than speed humps on SFH streets.

You are welcome here, as long as you don't mow down our children while racing your SUV to beat the light while you put on your make up in the rear view mirror and drink your coffee because you are late again.

I don’t mind speed bumps. I just think it comical that the same people crying about “killer trucks” or whatever are so pro speed bump without recognizing the connection between the two.

You don’t even need to take a speed bump fast - just take it wrong - in a sedan in order to bottom out your car.

I see suvs slow down as much as the sedans do near speed bumps.

You don't get it because you have an SUV.

It's not about speed. It's about ground clearance. Sedans are built for city driving, flat paved roads. SUVs and Trucks are built for bumpy unpaved roads. Sedans are built relatively low to the ground while SUVs and trucks are extended up from the ground. That's how you get that canyonero seating position. Non 4 wheel drive vehicles have this big shaft like thing along the bottom of them in order to turn the back wheels. It's under the floor where you can't see it. If a speed bump is too high it can seriously damage those delicate dangly parts underneath a vehicle designed for city streets. This can also happen if the angle going over it is off. It's not about speed. Because SUVs and trucks have much higher ground clearance this is never a problem for them. In fact, I'll let you in on a secret, it can be fun to speed up to jump off a speed bump in a four wheel drive vehicle. It's like skiing moguls in that regard.
