Speed Bumps

Do you remember seeing these signs in Trinidad and Tobago? May be in some locations where there are speed bumps, but definitely not in all and especially in places where they are most needed.

Apart from the warning signs that are not to be seen, speed bumps should be appropriately painted to make them visible both day and night. In some cases, reflectors are used to warn drivers that they should slow down.

In a follow-up blog, Getting it Right? would discuss the standards set for speed bumps and how exactly they should be in terms of size etc to make them effective and not as a hazard as is often the case in Trinidad and Tobago.

Are we getting it Right? Nope!
