Some have said before, Wrongly, that no idea is a bad idea.
The local government in ShanXi province, China, decided they had enough of people speeding on their highways.
In an effort to stop speeders once and for all, they built a 100 foot long and 2 foot high winding speed block in the middle of the Jing Zhuang highway.
Unfortunately for the drivers, the speed bump is so narrow that a large number of cars end up scraping against the side even when driving careful. The speed bump has also taken the 2 lane highway down to a single lane, which has resulted in daily traffic jams.
So all you Chinese speeder better “Slon Doon.
Skateboarders the world over are hoping for streets like this near them.
Maybe China is vying for the next X-games ?

Scratches? No kidding
They are not well know for their driving skill plus those walls look pretty well damaged already

Just love it when people come up with these type of ideas. What are they going to come up with next?

This will evolve into a mile long succession of figure 8 round-a-bouts for low speed two way traffic
