This is so fantastic. The city of Boston is installing speed humps on ALL residential streets. Thank you Mayor Wu and Jascha! https://content.boston.gov/making-neighborhood-streets-safer
Making neighborhood streets safer

Speed humps are a primary tool to address traffic speeds and make our neighborhoods more comfortable for people who live, walk, bike, and play there. We plan to install up to 500 speed humps on an annual basis. That’s between 40 and 50 miles of traffic-calmed streets each year!

@onekade Love it! I think it’s really important that the are installing speed humps in entire neighborhoods. Residents shouldn’t have to beg for basic safety measures

@onekade Amazing! Somerville has been putting in a few here and there, and I hope we'll get mass deployment eventually as well.

These speed humps are *really* nice to ride over on a bike, too. They don't slow me down at all at normal biking speeds. (I know some people have said they had trouble with them, but I've not been able to get them to provide details, so I don't know what's going on there.)

@onekade I hope they’ll be putting a lot of these at crosswalks. Drivers around here seem to be unable to recognize unsignaled crosswalks, and this might help.
