A speed bump on my street.

Speed bumps in Pakistan are an essential part of traffic control. In some ways they serve the purpose of a stop sign ( stop signs downt work in Pakistan) and/or to control speed limits. They sometimes even work better than traffic lights. A recent accident in my neighborhood led to a constuction of a speed bump right at the scene of the accident. The speed bump in this picture has reflectors so you actually can see it at night. However, a lot of speed bumps are either unmarked or their paint has faded. So they are also a test for your eye sight.

For some people this is a speed bump, but for others its just another bump in the road. [Bump!]
