Re:Drivers Complain Raised Crosswalk Slows Vehicles by runarberg on Saturday January 05, 2019 @03:29PM (#18834022)
Really I think raised crosswalks are the only time a speed bump is properly used. A free standing speed bump (without a crosswalk) is sort of useless since drivers like to speed up between them, and slow down only just before they hit the bump. But a raised crosswalk really does magic in increasing the proportion of drivers that actually stop for crossing pedestrians.

Why not have traffic lights with cameras to catch offenders

The same problem. Drivers would just speed up between them. Plus I think there are better ways to get drivers to slow down then catch and punish all offenders.

There are average speed cameras now to get round that issue.
