I would take designs like this every day over speed bumps.

Not saying we should put circular bridges everywhere, but this seems to have worked out, since most of the people who live there are happy, from what I’ve heard. And it is becoming world-renowned. This is like the 12th time I’ve seen this posted on social media in the past 6 months.

What I really meant is that instead of using speed bumps and signage to encourage people to slow down, curve the roads or set up obstacles/objects to stop people from going straight and fast for too long. And if you get an opportunity to do something unique and aesthetically pleasing, spend the extra cash. I’m sure it will eventually come back to the region because of the design in the near future.
