    How's this for speed control?
    I don't know about you, but this would slow me down!
    People slow down and try to "straddle" the hole, then breathe a sigh of relief that they completely cleared it!
    This is actually a speed control device that is in use in Canada .
    Scroll down and look at all three pictures.
    And it is much cheaper than speed cameras.

    Must be one of those things that makes it look like there is a hole in the ground.

    That is just plain wrong. They should not be allowed to put something like that on the ground. Could cause a bike to crash as it swerves to miss it or worse yet an accident resulting in a fatality, just wrong. :mad:
