Therefore, speed bumps shall not be installed on any public street. Stop signs installed in the wrong places for the wrong purposes usually create more problems than they solve. One common misuse of stop signs is to arbitrarily interrupt traffic, either by causing it to stop or by causing such an inconvenience that motorists are forced to use other routes. But, speeds were actually higher between intersections than they would have been if these signs hadn't been installed. Nationally recognized standards have been established to determine when stop signs should be used.
Most drivers are reasonable and prudent.
