Canada Introduces Child Friendly Speed Bump

[Typhoid]

this thing conditions people to keep driving when they see a child playing at the street.

I'd argue that it conditions people to assume every child is a speed bump, and to slow down accordingly upon driving over them.

And you know, hopefully while they're slowing down the child can saunter out of the way.

But I think regardless of how many times you take the road (despite the fact that speed bump appears to be in an underground parking lot for BC Hydro) and know full-well that the child is a speedbump and not a real child - if you're fiddling in your purse for your phone, or grabbing something from between your seat and out of the corner of your eye you see the shape of a child, it will instinctively make you slam on the brakes.

But if you're driving attentively at a normal speed, it's just a normal freakin' speedbump.
