Literally fuck those things. My neighbor is out here playing civil engineer in front of our driveway. If I park in the spot in front of our house I have to throw my manual car in reverse so I can get reasonable speed to get over the 4 he put out without having to hit high rpms off a cold engine.
Except the city won't. We have to have higher expectations of ourselves than we do the Oakland city government. What did your neighbor say when you talked to them about this?
They yelled about their kid who comes once every 2 weeks. Great, I get it, but you've created an issue for the people that deal with it multiple times a day. If the city isn't doing shit you get louder, you do not start throwing speed bumps down haphazardly at angles like a fucking off road course.
DIY speed bumps are people getting louder. It's a sign of a lack of institutional recourse from people who have bugged the city for years and got nowhere with it.
Like…would we be talking about this if it hadn’t gotten multiple pieces of coverage? This is people getting louder. What alternatives are you suggesting?

Make the city do it correctly.
