People fly over them. They purposely speed up. City Hall is lame and encouraging law suites. Assholes.
The street needs roundabout at intersections to help with cross traffic and slow speeds..
So the City knows the known hazard and is going nothing. This is not going to end well for the taxpayers.
Fuck the KLCC 2 % and build the roundabouts. The City Council has blood all over their hand and and bodies, our citizens are getting mowed down, and the street is practically in the same condition and will claim another unnecessary victim. Lets ask Roberta and Stephanie if the City should have installed the bikelanes and roundabouts sooner. What would they say?
You're foaming at the mouth, Marvy. Go out and gets some fresh air. You'll feel much better. Just be on the lookout for drivers trying to mow you down.
Drivers will be cured of speeding and flying over the speed tables.
The roundabouts are in the wrong places, cost more than $1 million each, there's not enough room for them without taking private land, and they're too small to work well.
I hope these speed tables break suspension parts on speeding cars.
Thousands of dollars in damage. It’s like a very expensive ticket, and it’s self-enforcing. We don’t even need a cop there, so they can be off doing more important things.
The other bonus is that there is no slimy lawyer that can keep people from taking responsibility and paying the price.
The speed tables should be designed to break cars going 20mph over the limit.
I want to see whole wheels, broken springs, drive shafts, mufflers, fenders, and engine mounts strewn across the road 200 ft downstream of the tables.
They should be adjustable. Embed a few hydraulic rams in the pavement beneath the speed humps. The rams will be able to change the shape and height of the bump instantly, just as a car arrives. If you are driving at or below the speed limit, the bump will remain fully retracted. You won’t even know it’s there. At five MPH above the limit, the bump will take its present form—a gentile reminder. There should be a camera system installed to sense lane, speed, and vehicle type. If you are going 50+ in a lifted Jeep, then the bump will instantly transform into a 14inch block with vertical sides. The cameras will count the number and size of pieces that fly off each car, and use artificial intelligence to adapt the algorithm in real time to impart the precise level of intended damage for each speed/vehicle type combo.
We should install a Jumbotron somewhere along the roadside that will play slo-mo highlights of the more spectacular damage incurred in the last 48 hours.
Finally, we should install a pullout driveway 300 ft after the speed humps. This would be similar to the drive through mail boxes in front of the main post office. Except instead of mailboxes, it will have a machine similar to the paid parking machines where you can just roll down the window. This machine will have a laser to locate unpunched squares along the edge of a paper “tough shit card.” And put a hole punch in one if the boxes. If the card is full, the machine will keep it and dispense a brand new card.
If you really want to slow traffic down, do what they do in Baja - speed ruts! You can't see them - you hear them when your front axles (or A-arms) disappear underneath you as you continue to move forward. Now THOSE things are fun!!
Hopefully that will happen to all 12 of the KLCC.... then we will see who is making fun of people getting their lives ruined because the City roadways are not safe.
7:00 Truly mind boggling that anybody can be as stupid as you. It really seems impossible. How do you get through everyday life with a brain as highly developed as a reptile's?
There was a bumper sticker campaign years ago to “Keep Leucadia Funky.” But there are a small handful of attention seeking elderly cranks who oppose everything, even basic safety improvements that save lives.
They are are just a bunch of old “get off my lawn!” codgers who will be gone soon, and should be ignored.
9:01 posted a lie. KLCC abbreviates Kooky Local Crazed Cretin. It's the name a certain self-important nutcase gave himself in a moment of clarity when he looked in a mirror.
KLCC members can not believe anything could work or be good if they didn't see it in their neighborhoods from 1940 to 1971.
Even though there are thousands of roundabout worldwide and hundreds in CA and 6 that work great on the old PCH alignment in Birdrock and Carlsbad, and three in Encinitas all with statistics on data showing tremendous safety and efficiency improvements, a recent KLCC member stated, " Dem der roundy traffic circle things don't work. I've nearly been hit in one and actually had to slow down and hit my breaks to lets someone else go from my left. It was the scariest thing ever. I tell you, dem tings don't work"
If it involves any change, they don't like it. You can spot them in their cars easily. They have the look like deer in the headlights with rigor mortis setting in.... give them plenty of room, they don't react well with the environment or others.
so true and if you smell a moldy smell, they may be around.... they probably haven't washed their sweater in 11 years because its their favorite and they don't want it to wear out.
As of today, cars are getting air over the speed bumps at the north end that have no striping and no warning signs with warning speed prior to the bumps. This is a liability nightmare for the city. I live nearby and saw a few rear-enders almost happen. If anyone gets hurt or vehicles get damaged it will be hard for the city to defend this and will most likely just pay claims as they come in. Since these are public road improvements the City Engineer and Traffic Engineer had to sign off on the plans and could be also liable and have their engineering registration suspended or revoked. My prediction is that the bumps will be removed within 2 weeks and the council will backtrack. I think the intent to make the road safer was good, but you just cant do stupid stuff like this that could really injure an innocent person. I can't believe the city would install these bumps and wait over the weekend to stripe the humps and put up speed warning signs. The sign near La Costa avenue says something like enjoy raised crosswalks. Nobody knows what that means. This is really really messed up.
6:32 and 6:38, your words and sentiments give you away as Blakespear acolytes, worshippers of Shaffer and Barf..... I mean Barth. That unholy trinity of unhinged, self-righteous cranks who have, with the help of their pathetic supplicants (look in the mirror), led this city into a years long personality crisis.
I don't know you, but I know what you look like: old, crotchety, superior, bitter know-it-alls, angry social misfits who find what little comfort you can among other politically-minded misfits when you aren't attacking allies and eating your young for the slightest deviation from your ideology. It's your way or the highway.
Understand this: your "indispensability" to a civil, better society is a self delusion. You're the angry, arrogant, venomous, opinionated and vocal component of society that is a cancer needing to be cut out. Do a little soul searching, shut up, or just go away.
The Mayor will tell the City Manager what excellent work the staff is doing and the citizens don't know what they are talking about. Who needs a warning sign about a huge bump in the roadway that wasn't there for the last 80 years anyway?
Way to go Mayor and City Manager, you sure know how to fuck things up, get the City sued, and waste a huge amount of tax dollars.
I just drove the speed limit through Leucadia both ways on 101.
I can confirm that the speed cushions have signs posted, and pose zero problems. I had my collection of authentic Faberge Eggs in back with no protection, and they are toats fine.
The raised crosswalks on 101 are speed tables. Speed cushions are those extremely annoying things on Urania and Devonshire. Speed bumps are those teeth-jarring, suspension-destroying things on Orpheus.
5:54 -people are cutting through neighborhoods- including Neptune . Where drivers appear to believe that they are entitled to every inch of the road. So, someone needs to tell the city crapsacks ...
Well well well, the first accident at the speed reducing device happened and car was plowed in from behind. The witness said some young girl thought she had to come to almost a stop to go over it and the stupid guy behind her couldn't stop and crushed her.
Blakespear and her puppets should be fired or recalled for these decisions.

You don't understand the definition of "doing nothing". Installing tables is obviously 'something' as in interim to Streetscape, like it or not.

A few more ideas to improve the speed humps:

10:55, you're hyperbolic idea would probably be more cost effective than Clownscape. And we would save the street lanes.

DeleteDid the city install warning signs for the speed bumps? I haven't been over there since installation.
ReplyDeleteCall a spade a spade, a club a club, a heart a heart, a diamond a diamond.
ReplyDeleteThe new speed control thingees on 101 in Leucadia are speed tables.
To call them anything else — bumps, for example — is misleading.
The City is totally incompetent, no signage. More law suites.
