I actually think all cars should have speed governors on them. Don't really get why that's not something that's already built into all of our cars.
So, uh, they gonna finish this?
Seems like they knocked out everything but the pedestrian crosswalk within a couple of weeks of starting, then nothing. Are they waiting on MODoT at this point?
I'm happy they got the island installed at least.

I think I read somewhere that they were waiting on signage to be delivered. Given the extraordinarily long wait on this project it's a bit hard to believe that the signage couldn't have been ordered a bit in advance!
In this example it's ok because it's a one way street but otherwise it would create problems. People don't know how to navigate a curved road coming into an intersection and cut the corner, blocking oncoming traffic.

LOL. yes, it's fascist to require people to take driving lessons and/or tests so they don't murder people with their 4-ton trucks. that's the definition of fascism. can't possibly expect anyone to learn to do anything that they don't currently know how to do.

I did not read through the Reddit post however I did want to comment that I have driven the before and after section of Natural Bridge starting at Salisbury Parnell and Palm heading west. The brief times I've driven that stretch the modifications seem to be doing what they were installed to do, slow down traffic. Possibly regular drivers of that section of Natural Bridge can agree/disagree.
Is that what they want to do in Kings highway? I'm not familiar with the details of the Kings highway plan. Thank You

That's the basic idea. Lane reduction + traffic calming + bike lanes.chris fuller wrote: ↑May 24, 2025I did not read through the Reddit post however I did want to comment that I have driven the before and after section of Natural Bridge starting at Salisbury Parnell and Palm heading west.

Bloomberg - All Hail the Humble Speed Hump
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features ... safety-fixThe humble speed hump boasts an illustrious origin story. The concept was the brainchild of Arthur Holly Compton, a Nobel Prize-winning American physicist who became a senior federal science official during World War II. Deeply involved in efforts to create an atomic bomb, Compton is credited with getting Robert Oppenheimer to oversee the Manhattan Project. After the war, Compton became chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis.
There, Compton grew exasperated by the drivers who raced along a central campus thoroughfare. In 1953, he took matters into his own hands by devising a series of “ Holly humps ” that would force drivers to slow down. (His original designs are now held at the university’s library.) Compton’s approach has since become a foundational tool for street safety in the US as well is around the world. In Britain, drivers must brake before rolling over a “sleeping policeman”; Norwegians do the same when they encounter a “fartshumper” (yes, really).
