It would be amazing if many of the crosswalks downtown in residential areas were raised. Better yet, raise the whole intersection. Slows traffic through the intersection like a speed hump.

Innocent question: why are they called "speed humps" in Jersey City and "speed bumps" everywhere else in the country? Speed hump is what my dog does when he gets excited. It never doesn't strike me as an odd choice.

A sped hump is smaller in height but wider and are best driven over at 10-15mph. A speed bump is taller and much skinnier and best driven over at 2-10mph

Every dynamic duo on television and movies are described this way.

Jerry and George, for example. Elder Price and Elder Cunningham from The Book of Mormon. Who else?

JC should put them every ten feet on route 139. (its a joke!)

Who can issue tickets on this small 139 part which cuts the Heights from the rest of JC?

ID excessive speeders and red light violations with public fines.

I'm going to request one on every 200 feet of Columbus Drive.

Everyone request one on Columbus between a different block. Teamwork!

And roundabouts at every corner with huge stop signs, I'll never drop that idea.

For those in The Heights, would you agree that we need many of these on Central Ave by Pershing Field? I would strongly agree.

Speed hump? Who needs one of those when there is a plethora of cyclists and pedestrians to run over out there?

Please do not make like union city who put LITERALLY 2~3 speed humps per block down Summit Ave, making it basically worthless to drive down the street.

This is exactly what is needed when drivers don't respect speed limits and don't care about the safety of others.

No please don't a better idea would be more stop signs, but not this.
