Did you stop in the middle of the road to take the picture? At least it achieved its purpose of slowing you down.

I literally couldn't find it until I zoomed in a lot. That's pretty bad.

Speed bumps where I'm from are usually wider and clearly marked, similar to this picture I found online:

Mate I'm on holiday in South Africa, the amount of invisible death bumps I've seen on 100km/h roads, without warning signs, which can only be taken at 5km/h, are insane. Our rental 4x4 lost 10 years of its suspension life during our 4 weeks trip, while I was lucky the bumps were marked on our navigation app so I could take them slow. And that's calculated without all the pothole terror. The roads here are almost as bad as roads in Belgium while the speed bumps are a hammer to your spine. If you want to start a good business here, open a tire and suspension shop.

Never expected to see a clemmons neighbor posting on Lemmy tbh

Google Maps street view shows it painted yellow in 2023. The town needs to get busy and repaint it.

Where is it? I see flat road

Seeing all the comments defending the bump is wild. He's coming up to a clear turn, 1. 2, what if someone is driving on that road for the first time? Do they deserve damage to their car for going the fucking speed limit‽

Seriously, all speed bumps need to be visibly painted.

In the book and movie The grapes of wrath the watchman at the camp entrance says of the speed bump: it protects the kids playing in the camp because asking drivers to slow down doesn't work, but after speeding over the bump they never forget.

FuckCars, FuckCarDrivers, FuckOilCompanies

Its only camouflaged for like 15 mins per day. Only when the sun stands exactly like that.

more infuriated by them being called speed bumps while making you slower?!?! wtf

A shitty speed bump, but you'll be fine because you don't drive too fast, do you?

That badly designed road that invites speeding in the first place. Design it well, you won't need speed bumps

Ah, I see you've encountered one of the ancient monoliths. Once a yellow pillar of the community, these behemoths delighted neighborhood children who would spend hours playing with them. Many skateboards and scooters were propelled upwards by these olden obstacles, but bicycles were the most well-regarded. And these highlighter highlights could make any child on a bicycle feel like a king. Those who could wheelie achieved jumps, those who could balance achieved wheelies, and those who could do neither taught everyone the importance of a helmet. "But I can't do it!" the smaller ones would yell, and others would shout, "faster! You gotta go FASTER!" Some would become airborne, but all would finish laying down, usually having shared considerable patches of skin with the pavement.

Yes, once a mighty watering hole for the daring, this archaic entertainment has laid down and breathed its last. Its once bright yellow skin has fallen off over the years, revealing a rotting blemish on the road. Where there was once cheers and laughter surrounding this proud protrusion, now lies a pile of bones and the modern chants of "god damnit! Where did that come from?!"
