Humps are lethal
5:12pm Tuesday 30th October 2001
Since the calming measures (speed bumps) were installed in Camlet Way, Hadley Wood, earlier this year, there have been two fatalities.
One wonders what the purpose of these bumps is and how many fatalities have been in that stretch of road for the years prior to their installation.
Some traffic calming measures in Barnet seem to be effective but certainly the ones in Camlet Way have proved to be positively lethal.
