I hate speed bumps but realistically, I will get over them.

In England, they're called "sleeping policemen." 

I don't like them but, I will tell you that on a busier road, if there is one near a driveway of a buyer family with children, it is a bonus!  

Everyone seems to be in a hurry these days and flying through neighborhoods is far less 'cool' than speedbumps!

Not a fan, but I understand the need.

Our speed bumps are not quite so "obvious." I can't say they have impacted home values one way or another, but in communities with lots of kids, people seem to like them.

I'm not a fan.   I do wonder about the effectiveness.  

I don't think they affect property values. I don't like them as a driver, but they certainly do slow most people down.

I have never had a buyer comment on them either way...

Speed bumps may reduce the value of a home that is close to it. Every time a vehicle goes over it, you hear the noise. Especially if it's a truck with stuff that gets jolted. I showed a house in an upscale neighborhood that has a speed bump in front of it. Very annoying and very distracting.

Not sure how effective they are OR if they impact value, but I find them annoying. Like England, they are called Sleeping Policemen in Jamaica, as I recall from my trips many years ago

I hate speed bumps. Great for trailer parks, nothing but negitave in a regular R1 neighborhood.

They slow peopledown and in my opinion have no effect on property values.in some neighborhoods they are overused and an annoyance. Some are so tall, they can damage a car that is going slowly.

As a driver, I hate those speed bumps! That said, they are necessary around schools and children. Safety first...always.

I am for them Fred...otherwise traffic zooms by way too fast and that's not so safe for a neighborhood with kids and pets. It's kind of annoying at times but I'm so used to that I just slow down and enjoy the ride.

If drivers will not slow down the resulting effect is government will intervene. I don't think it has an effect in value just irritates the driver.

We have them here. They work somewhat and don't affect property values.

Fred,

Personally I don't like them.  Perhaps, they are effective.  I vote for Theo Shaw sign. A

I think they increase safety. We live up on a mountain and our side streets are winding with no sidewalks and some people drive around here like speed demons. They could definitely be used up here, that being said I don't like them.

If you have a family with small children I think it should increase the value of properties. You do want a relatively safe place for your family.

Speed bumps are a necessary evil, drivers are always in a hurry! i live in the Bronx, and bumps are not clearly marked as the picture posted, they are black bumps that if you are not paying attention you will be jolted going through them! Annoying, but necessary!

I don't like them but many time ae very much needed

We have bunches of those in our area.  I wish they were as well marked as the photo you show.  They are often hidden in the dappled light that comes through the mature trees... and you don't notice the 'hump' until you're right up against it, with no time to slow down.

ka-thump!!

In residential neighborhoods, if constructed properly, they are a benefit to all. If bone-jarring, then no.

At least that one looks nice. My first thought is -- is it a drive-in or a neighborhood?

Police are the people to enforce laws & speeds. I think it is over reach on the neighbors part.

Fred Griffin - good to have in residential neighborhoods.

Many now in downtown Chicago, not a big fan

I think they hurt values as:

1. They indicate a problem exists
2. No one likes driving over them

I'm fighting to keep them out of my 'hood.

HATE speed bumps -  enforce traffic laws in place, don't add impediments for the folks already driving a reasonable speed.

in a large subdivision, I'd be in favor of it...  safety first....

They are a pain in the you know what xxxx  not only that I may need an Axel because these speed bumps are excessively high in my condo development My car which is a heavy well made Benz slams down even when going over them so slow almost at a stop

I do not believe they affect property values. If anything they may be perceived as a good thing ... perhaps adding value in terms of safety.  The visual is to let people know they are there ... no different than traffic lights or signs ... I perceive to be needed and necessary. 

I think they imply there's been an issue, but they tend to be on "double yellow line streets" in San Diego. That said our HOA and many HOAs incorporate them on their private roads.

We have a lot of reverse speed dips or valleys here that bottom out speeders (and sparks fly) in and around major intersections. 

I've never thought much about the effect on property values.  But, now that you mention it, I probably wouldn't buy a house in close proximity to one.  I do know some are too high, especially for sports cars.  

Theo Shaw nailed this one!

That one is a little over the top.  I don't think they affect property values.

I hate them but this is better then a bumps only 2 feet wide and 2 feet high that shake every part of you when you go over

I wish we had them. We posted electronic speed notices but I still see people exceed 25 by quite a lot.

Frustrating for low sports cars.

I hate them

Not a fan of them in neighborhoods.

Depends.

I personally don't like them, but I don't believe they impact property values either positively or negatively.

Where there is a speed bump/hump or stop sign inserted, there will be residents for and against.  They are there to help keep speeders from running amuck and I see that as a postive.

I sort of miss the old fashioned speed bump. A slab of asphalt that'll rattle your brain if you're not paying attention. Now we have speed bumps, humps, tables, traffic calming and more. 

Fred Griffin At least the new type don't make your car bottom out when going over them. They do cause people to slow down. In my subdivision they put in a three-way stop sign. A speed bump would probably have served the purpose.

they do serve a purpose to prevent fast drivers

It is an effort to maintain the ambiance and safety of a residential neighborhood...

Speed bumps are necessary on some streets.

You have to get the speed down to have walkable communities.

They can serve a purpose, but in some cases, they can be overkill.  And, I don't like the ones that are too abrupt.

I think these help in some areas, as some drivers go so fast, and there are kids playing in the street.
