Did you stop in the middle of the road to take the picture? At least it achieved its purpose of slowing you down.

Yeah it's not a traffic road and is entirely deserted after school drop off times.

I literally couldn't find it until I zoomed in a lot. That's pretty bad.
Speed bumps where I'm from are usually wider and clearly marked, similar to this picture I found online:
Those ones actually work better. The short, sharp shock ones can be hit at speed if you have a good suspension. The slow ones like that will lift the rear end off the ground if you go too fast, they're way more effective.
The effective term, at least in Southern California for the low long ones are 'humps' as opposed to the short tall 'speed bumps'.
God bless SPEED HUMP signs. They give college kids something to steal and decorate their dorm rooms with.
Depending on the party, there will also be speed bumps involved

There are also "speed tables" that are even longer and are flat-topped with sloped sides, along with "raised intersections" which are speed tables that take up the entire intersection space.

Never expected to see a clemmons neighbor posting on Lemmy tbh
Oh wow, I was just wondering the other day if anybody from NC was on Lemmy. Didn't expect somebody from Clemmons! Howdy neighbor!
Get doxxed nerd
lol seriously. I think it's entirely possible to follow the breadcrumbs and find anyone in person in this current landscape and with the level of technology available, especially to governments.

I feel like this is a milestone interaction for Lemmy. Used to be surprisingly common on Reddit, but I don’t think I’ve even seen it here before…
I might be guessing incorrectly, but it feels like users here don’t post personal pictures as much (for a variety of good reasons). So this kind of recognition isn’t as common.
Some of the local communities are more bustling than others though!
You're right, I'm pretty sure we're all here for some level anonymity.
Where is it? I see flat road
It’s camouflaged
It's right behind you now!
Exactly
scraping noises intensify
It's about the fourth lighter stripe in front of the car.
It looks like a sun stripe.

Google Maps street view shows it painted yellow in 2023. The town needs to get busy and repaint it.
Seeing all the comments defending the bump is wild. He's coming up to a clear turn, 1. 2, what if someone is driving on that road for the first time? Do they deserve damage to their car for going the fucking speed limit‽
Seriously, all speed bumps need to be visibly painted.
the point of speed bumps isn't to slow to a crawl just before you hit them and then carry on speeding (which is what everyone does....)
if you're actually going the speed limit, it shouldn't damage anything..
Most speed bumps/humps these days require you to go below the speed limit to avoid damage to the car unless you're driving some jacked-up monster with loose suspension.
You haven't encountered many of these short speed bumps. The longer ones are like that. But no short speed bumps is safe to go over at anything but a crawl.
Most speed bumps in the usa will fuck up your car, or at least give you a really bad day if you hit them at anything over 3mph. There are milder versions with names like "speed pillows" that let you go a little faster, but even those don't let you go the full speed limit.

Its only camouflaged for like 15 mins per day. Only when the sun stands exactly like that.
Exactly at school drop off times
A shitty speed bump, but you'll be fine because you don't drive too fast, do you?
They do often force people to go way under the speed limit. The thing being visible is an additional indicator that you should take it extra slow and careful here.

Yeah but diving slow is not the same as crawling over a speed bump. I'm used to this road after so many years, but I've always wanted to post it here.
Try hitting one of those at 25mph.

more infuriated by them being called speed bumps while making you slower?!?! wtf
If they would make the bumps go with the road you'd be able to just take your hands off the wheel and the road would keep you in the groove. Real shame the way these so called 'speed' bumps have been implemented.

In eastern Europe they are widely called "lying ploice man"

In the book and movie The grapes of wrath the watchman at the camp entrance says of the speed bump: it protects the kids playing in the camp because asking drivers to slow down doesn't work, but after speeding over the bump they never forget.

That badly designed road that invites speeding in the first place. Design it well, you won't need speed bumps

Drive around mexico and these things are everywhere. Called topes. Really wakes ya up when you hit one going forty mph lol
Looks like a pretty standard sausage type speed bump, maybe a bit worn?
Is it painted grey or something?
No, it's yellow, blending perfectly with the sun rays during school drop off times
Ooh, I see the mildly infuriating part now. Just nature being nature, not that they maliciously tried to hide it! 😅
