Why motorcyclists ignore rumble strips aimed at speeders
Original: rüttelstreifen
In Germany, rumble strips are being installed to slow down speeding drivers, but they are not working as intended. MDR reports that motorcyclists simply ignore the strips by riding around them, while bus companies face extra costs from vehicle wear caused by the vibration strips. The debate questions whether rumble strips are an effective traffic-calming measure at all.
Why now: A public broadcaster report on the failures and costs of rumble strips is drawing attention amid ongoing debate about speeding in German towns.
