Disclaimer Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 That was on Jalopnik yesterday.Lotta truth to this statement:"It's a static image," he said. "If a driver can't respond to this appropriately, that person shouldn't be driving, and that's a whole different problem."Here's an image of the same type of pilot program they used in Philadelphia's "Drive CarePhilly" campaign:(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/12/us/12bump.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1284037241-K2PcP2+BE3gl/eoLAMfMQA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Children are like deer. Don't swerve or brake... just lock out your arms and hope there's not too much damage to the grille of your vehicle.j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Probably a much better concept than the child in the road image. What happens when people get conditioned to driving over a fake child in the road?That's exactly what I was gonna say. Once they realize it's fake and get used to it, the number of children getting hit will increase. "But officer, I thought she was just a speed bump."

redkow97 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 i hope these things aren't expensive to create, because they're going to be vandalized like you wouldn't believe.you have to physically chip-away a speed bump. a $6 bucket of paint and 3 seconds to dump it is all it will take to eliminate these stupid things.

Radio Flyer Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 So after the first time they realize it's fake they'll just keep going over it at normal speeds, evenutally running over a child on the streets thinking it's a speed bump.

I don't see that lasting very long before some group protests or there are lawsuits due to accidents.I agree, I mean can you imagine the traffic and chaos that's going to create? I don't see it lasting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Worse, it will probably attract kids, that want to play right there in the street.Eventually, somebody will go out there and paint it naked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
