NEIGHBORHOODS THAT BECOME CUT-THRU PATHS for vehicular traffic can appeal to the city for what is known in municipal jargon as TRAFFIC CALMING. These are bumps artificially constructed with asphalt strips across the street to compel cars to slow down as they pass through a residential area. They can be a real annoyance, although one can certainly see the justification for it. “Nothing is so aggravating,” said Oscar Wilde, “as calmness.” The more expensive cars, I suspect, with the more advanced suspension systems, probably handle these speed bumps better than my low-grade transportation (defined, these high-priced days, as anything under $50 K). One of my daughters lives in an apartment complex filled with speed bumps to keep parking lot traffic slow; it also minimizes my visits. Every time I go over another bump, I feel like a mannikin on a ride at the county fair. But speed bumps are life’s way of telling us… sometimes you can go fast, sometimes you have to slow down. It has been a while since my last speeding ticket.
