I'll See Your Speed Bump and Raise You...

I was driving to a Saturday market with my wife, and going down one street I was introduced to the "We Don't Want Large Cars and Trucks on Our Street" device. Instead of just having a wimpy speed bump (there was one also), they had a HUGE concrete wall running across the street, with gaps just barely wide enough for a small car on the right and left lanes. I thought our four-door Chevy was going to need to go on a diet to fit through the teeny tiny gap in the wall (we made it). I don't think there's any way a Suburban or Excursion would make it through, let alone any kind of industrial truck. I guess that's one way to control the traffic through your neighborhood.

Effectively!!!
