Feedback: There should be less of them
They should all be of the same specification
They should plateau on the top - we have had damage to a motorbike I have a back problem and the speed bumps have aggrivated it. I am a driver

Feedback: as requested re speed ramps.
They are a menace: as at present and certainly no more desirable. They should be uniform and with plateau (see those in Whitwell-Belph). They are uncomfortable and a previously owned sports car needed suspension refit three times. Ridgway is a necessary access road and there is one vicious/damaging/different one without proper warning that it is necessary to virtually stop for. Speed bumps do not stop 'joy-rider' types: the faster they go, the more comfortable it is; unfortunately, as wheels lift from the road, control is lost.
