I haven't come across any myself but I had to smile when I read North Somerset Council's definition of a pothole. Not all holes in the road are potholes - they have to be deeper than 4cm and more than 30cm across to be classed as a pothole, while footway potholes must be deeper than 2cm and more than 60cm across. So get your tape measure about before you report one!

Thieves steal graffiti !!!

we have bus stops painted yellow graffiti on our roads here, they can have that also.
Must have cost £16,000 you will pay out of your taxes or fares when they scream they are destitute.
Must have been short sighted thieves, perhaps we are to get computer guided auto bus or short sighted drivers ? We certainly have a short sighted bus company.

Probably the same bright spark that realises that traffic humps are similar to speed cameras, the majority of people will automatically increase their speed once having successfully passed one. Actually it's a fairly effective 'stick and carrot' approach to solving the problem of inappropriate speed. Once motorists realise the implications and ongoing cost of replacing front suspension arm bushes, caused by going over the humps too fast, their pockets will eventually force them to slow down. However I do believe reading recently that one Portishead resident has a novel approach to local traffic calming measures, and that is to speed up instead of slowing down. I'd be interested if he does this in his own private car, or in a vehicle that's maintained and paid for by someone else.

It would be fine, if it was balanced. 8 in 300 yards of road is stupid-way over the top and unjustified.
