Anyone had success removing these speedbumps?

>You need to come to a complete stop to drive over them at a crawl.

Works as intended

>alley
i don't get it, is this like your driveway or something

did the city install it on your property without your permission?

This is the easiest option. If nothing else it'll make a huge mess and they'll need to pave it again.

Alternatively if you could drill/cut around the pegs then there would be nothing holding the speedbump down, but you'd be left with rebar sticking up out of the ground that you'd need to pull out or hammer flat.

Angle grind the top of the pegs off and just pull it up. It would be messy though since you'd need to angle grind through a bit of the rubber.

Get a huge hammer and hammer the pegs through the speedbump flat into the ground. You'd probably need to put a short piece of metal or aomething on top of the peg so the hammer would hit it

>i have to slow down to go over the speedbump

well done, jizzrag, you figured out their alien technology.

Here you go

Why install speed bumps in an alley? All the alleys in my area are crappy so there is no real need for bumps I suppose.

these things are shit in the snow. if you have a RWD car, and you slowly try to go over one in a snowed in alley, you will get fucking stuck. front wheels hit the bump, rears just spin for days. no going forward over it. they are so fucking steep

> hammering in bolts
Poo in loos confirmed idiots.

Protip

The faster you go, the less you'll notice the bump, and really hammer the throttle just before the bump to decompress the front suspension

This is why they're called speed bumps instead of slow bumps

Try burning them

Stop being a boy racer and suck it up. They're probably in place because it's a residential area and nobody wants faggots like you speeding there.

Dump used brake fluid on it.

Glad I don't have to deal with that bullshit in my neighborhood. Usually I just rev the shit out of my car and be as annoying as fucking possible whenever I encounter a speed bump, in the hopes that if it's in a neighborhood, a resident will destroy it themselves. Considering I deliver pizza, I probably annoy the shit out of them all the time at all hours of the day.

Wow thanks user I'd never thought of it this way

Considering you deliver pizza, they probably don't even hear your 1.6l shitbox.

Why not just fucking angle grind the rebar at the ground level after pulling the rubber?

Take a dremel/cutting disk/Sawzall to the rubber, pull out or pound in the stakes once you've cut off the speed bump portion. You said they're rubber, correct?

yeah they're going to strip out the theads in the asphalt

usualy bolted in with like 17mm or 19mm bolt

Back when I was in high school they installed these in the student parking areas after a kid backed out of his parking spot and clipped a car already traveling.

Eventually we just started driving up over the curb and onto the grass to go around them. The curb was a smoother grade anyways.

Just pour gas on them and ignite them. If it makes a mess someone will come to fix it or remove it.

>yfw the most suspension travel that thing ever sees is navigating speedbumps
Meanwhile in the real world the rest of us are dealing with poorly designed speed bumps in our daily drivers

Just cut through them inbetween the spikes and leave attached pieces on the road and avoid them. The majority will be gone.

>Anyone had success removing these speedbumps?

MacGyver here.

Take one of those deeper hole cutting saws and cut a hole around each of the 3 spikes as far down as it will go. The hole should be as small as possible. Once the hole is cut, you can use a crowbar to pry up the speedbump. You will end up with three spikes sticking out. Take a sledgehammer and pound them into the ground or else they will take a chunk out of people's tires. If the spikes were set in concrete fill, they might not go deeper which means you have to replace the rubber speedbump.

Those who have shallow hole cutters that go only 2 inches deep will have to spend a lot more effort and time. Take something sharp and pound it down in the cut edge. That will perforate the speedbump. Do this all around the circumference. There are curved chisels that do this if you happen to have those.

Now, there are several types of rubber speedbumps. The cheap ones are rubber all the way thru. The expensive ones have a shallow metal "C" in them to prevent removal by a saw. Those are not removable with this MacGyver technique.

>Just cut through them inbetween the spikes

Some speedbumps have a piece of rebar through them. Simply sawing in between the spikes won't free up the rubber sections but the hole saw method in will work for these if a small diameter is used so that it misses hitting the rebar.

Too bad rubber isn't flammable.

>this thread
I'm having [spoiler]DEJA VU[/spoiler]

You cannot pry this speedbump without removing the smaller spikes that prevent prying.

And once the small ones are removed, the speedbump is not strong enough to be pryed out with the larger spikes in tact. Last thing I wanna do is leave huge piece of rebar sticking out from the ground.

I'm gonna go inspect this fucking thing in a few, and see what type it is.

>this shitwit thinks that steep speed bumps are only a problem in low cars
wut
you nigger it's the height to length ratio of the bump that makes it shit not the height of your car

>Last thing I wanna do is leave huge piece of rebar sticking out from the ground.
That's why that guy's suggestion included sledging that into the ground.

aight, did a little bit of inspection.
What I thought was smaller spikes at a steep angle are actually reflectors.

No markings on the brand.
The bolts holding it down appear to be set in concrete
There are two channels below them.

Holy shit, thought I was the only one. I delivered pizza in college, had a straight pipe Dodge neon. I won't claim I caused it, but shortly after the city outlawed speed bumps and peeled up all the existing ones.

>c o n c r e t e s a w

Too much noise means a white knight will report you to the city along with video footage.

Get a Citroen

>the city outlawed speed bumps

That's because some neighborhoods stop speeders by installing their own speed bumps without city authorization. The city formally outlawed them because bumps damage the new type of snowplows they use.

>Alley

What's he going to hit, a cat? I hit those on purpose. They're a cancerous, worthless species.

I also speed between speed bumps. Gotta warm up those brakes.

I'm still waiting for someone to point out how illegal it is to destroy a speedbump.

fuck off

You just did.

The only thing I can think off

Grab a stake puller, a TIG welder, and some car batteries.
Tack weld to the spike head, and see if you can pull it out.

Don't bother removing them. Just drop some quick-dry cement on them to make a much gentler ramp.

Holy crap, that's a huge speed bump.

Pfft. Gringos know nothing of speed humps.

Spray paint them to match the color of asphalt and let your neighbors do the rest.

That kind of reverse logic can work. If enough people complain against the speed bumps, they get removed. A lot of times, bumps show up because not enough people cared to say NO. Thus the special interest group gets their way especially if they can ad hominem all their opposition into silence. I've seen ad hominem all too often as the main method of "proof" (no opposition means it gets implemented).

You evil genius

>Too much noise means a white knight will report you to the city along with video footage.
That's why you wear your blue collar clothes while doing it. You will be surprised by how much you can get away with by wearing work gear

damn son thats brilliant

That speed bump is actually nice, and smooth. We used to have large asphalt speed bumps like that, but they are all getting replaced by these rubber atrocities that only cost about $100 each.

Some of those are so smooth, and insignificant that you can go over them at 40mph like it was nothing.

This. Get a hard hat and a safety vest. Nobody will do shit.

One halloween In put on a bunny suit, hard hat, respirator, and red-cone flashlight (all from work). I was able to redirect traffic for 5 minutes until I got bored and went to the party.

This is by far yhe laziest and best idea

I fucking hate those. I have to go over five sets of them just to get out of my apartment complex. None of the other similar apartment complexes have them. Pain in the ass.

>Oh hey they finally got rid of these stupid speed bu-
>Tha-THUNK
>neighbors face when

Brilliant. Unmarked speed bumps can really fuck with people.

No, they're just busy laughing at your FWD shitbox.

Also why are delivery drives such shitty drivers?

Always wondered that. You're worse than the average woman.

You should also post flyers around the neighborhood to make it sound more legit, nobody's going to call the city and ask "is there really gonna be work going on at 12:00 PM Saturday?" And they'll be less suspicious of a guy ripping up a speed bump. After all, the guy that sledgehammered Donald Trump's star was dressed the part, but still got caught.

Kek that's some classic /b/-style anarchy, kudos to you

glad I drive a pickup. no need to slow down for these. there are some huge ones on front of the high school. I can get the truck airborne off of those.

White chevy mid 2000s truck with a 20$ orange strobe no one will look at you twice while your doing what youre doing

>you have never seen a speedbump your city because paramedics absolutely hate them

So about 5 years ago by now there was some sort of utility wire work near my house. There was a temporary speed bump installed to protect a cable until it could be buried or hung or whatever. Don't think it was power, maybe fiber optic or something...

ANYWAYS. This speed bump was really wicked. Imagine like, rolling over a 6-8 inch curb that had an approach ramp of 45 degrees. You had to CREEP over this thing even in a car at stock ride height. Like we're talking even a Jeep or SUV would get jostled pretty rough by it. Also for some godforsaken reason it wasn't actually secured to the ground by any method except its own weight.

Well, this pissed off some mysterious stranger. Said mysterious stranger cared not for the damage this would do to his vehicle (I'm assuming it was a big brotruck), and would fucking PLOW over it going way faster than the speed limit for the road. Not being secured down, it would get beat up and pushed down the road a little, the cable would come with it, and the bump would have to be replaced or moved back into position. Every day I went to work, I saw this thing was fucking annihilated. Every evening I came home from work, crews had put it back in place.

This happened for weeks. Eventually crews with flagmen would get there early as fuck to make sure you went slow as shit over it. Said mysterious stranger guy started getting up early just to fuck the speedbump's shit up before the crews got there. It was hilarious.

He also could have stopped with his rear wheels on it and pulled handbrake, then he could have pulled this fucker away...

That only works with fwd

With FWD and AWD to be correctly.
Someone in the neighborhood will most likely have this.

These motherfuckers are seriously annoying. I used to wax my barge in a car park to get away from faggot neighbours, it had one of these fuckers at the entry and it fucks your shit up unless you're going 0.5mph.

This isnt gonna do fucking shit. The city dont give a fuck about this.

There are some gnarly speed bumps that have degraded to shit, and have loose chunks all around. Been like this for 3 years, no one has come to repair it.

you + sledge + flat shovel

Do it with confidence and nobody will do shit. When I lived in college dorms my bike lock froze up so I grabbed an angle grinder and extension cord and cut the thing off in broad daylight. People walked by and stared at me but didn't do shit. I did all sorts of seemingly highly questionable shit when I was in uni, but at the time I had the confidence of knowing it was OK (usually something I could call the dean of engineering college over to vouch for me) and so nobody bothered harassing they guy cutting shit apart in front of the engineering building in broad daylight.

You know what you need to do.

If you're wanting to simply damage them instead of go about physically removing them, make some Nigerian-grade Napalm by dissolving styrofoam in petrol - you'll need a shitton of styrofoam to get it nice and thick, but even a small amount of it burns for a good couple of minutes and might even get the rubber burning by itself.

>Mfw I hit a speed bump at 40 MPH because I didn't see it until the last second and forgot where exactly it was placed
>Mfw ripped out the splash pan from out under my car and nothing else; everything went better than expected

I want to cleanly remove it, without damaging the ground.

You had you alley repaved? What are you, homeless? Probably. Explains why you're trying to break public shit. Dreg.

Kek, how is OP this much of a faggot?

Because up can't pull up the rubber until you get rid if what's holding it to the ground, you fucking cocksucker

ez fix
>cordless circular saw
>$5 blade
>cut between studs

simple. 4 cuts n yer done.

you wear a bunny suit at work?

Yeah.... Except that hitting them at speed means you barely feel them. Added bonus, people learn that hitting a speed bump isn't a big deal, and they stop being faggots about it.

Just like railroad tracks in my town. If you hit them at the speed limit, it's akin to rolling a pencil under your hand on a desk. "Rock crawling" them feels like "left wheel goes up then down, damn that was a big bump, right wheel goes up then down, damn that was a big bump, repay for the rest." Stop being a neurotic fuck, and just drive.

thats some nice gear user

lmao those are so steep

i'd be out there with a saw the day after they put those fuckers down

this

Just as intended.

RWDcucks btfo

When I had my old integra I would try to get all the way to 8400rpm in between speed bumps and limit bash it just as a fuck you to the cucks who asked the council to install these monstrosities in the first place

He means this, they're also called bunny suits

>12pm on a Saturday
Do this at 8am you dummy. People will be mad cause trying to sleep in but theres less people walking around.
Do it all quickly enough and clean up and no one will even notice.
