Speed humps are bad for the environment!
Speed humps causes car emissions and fuel consumption to increase, according to a survey commissioned by the AA.
The AA in Britain took a car with 58-mpg fuel rating running a constant 30-MPH, and ran it over speedbumps at the Millbrook Proving Ground, slowing down and speeding up for each bump.
The results were interesting. Fuel mileage dropped to 31-mpg and carbon dioxide emissions went up. The findings correlate with the country's Transport Research Laboratory, which reported that "carbon monoxide emissions are increased by as much as 82% and nitrous oxide levels by 37% on roads with speed bumps."
The AA also found that setting the speed limit at 20-MPH instead of 30-MPH raised car emissions and consumption by 10-percent.
We think speed humps are a necessary evil, to slow speeding drivers especially in school zones.
