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:

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

Where is it? I see flat road

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

Never expected to see a clemmons neighbor posting on Lemmy tbh

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

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

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.

Drive around mexico and these things are everywhere. Called topes. Really wakes ya up when you hit one going forty mph lol

Looks like a pretty standard sausage type speed bump, maybe a bit worn?

Is it painted grey or something?

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

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?!"

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.

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.

Wait...is the speed bump behind me right now?

I've always seen signs posted next to speed humps and bumps for additional notice they are there, in addition to the paint on them.

It looks like there should be a sign on the right next to the bump, but it's missing and just the empty pole.

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

I could see it in the thumbnail on my phone. It was so obvious I spent another minute staring at the foreground of the photo looking for an actual hidden speed bump lol. Different story in a vehicle moving 25+ when you're not specifically told to look for it though.

Spray paint a dick on it and it'll be repainted within a week

Time to do some civic vigilantism it looks. Buy a reflective yellow spraypaint and give that speedbump its caution lines back.

This better be a troll post
