Man fed up with people speeding down his road builds DIY speed bumps

A man in the US has grown so fed up with cars speeding down his street that he’s made a set of DIY speed bumps. 

Seems like quite an extreme solution to the problem, doesn’t it?

A neighbor, who lives on the same street, shared footage of the four newly fitted speed bumps while questioning how he was going to use his dirt bike. 

In the clip, the speed bumps already look as though they’ve claimed a few victims and have various scrapes and gouges. 

The DIY speed bumps were planned to slow down drivers

When it comes to cars, there are plenty of creative folks out there willing to take on an unusual DIY project – such as the guy who fit horse and carriage wheels onto a Dodge Challenger.

Or this man who decided to put a motorcycle engine in a child’s toy car and created a Porsche 911 GT3 ‘Power Wheel’. 

However, while we may be used to seeing people modifying their cars and bikes, it’s a little less common to see someone modify the road they live on because of cars and bikes. 

But that’s exactly what this annoyed US resident did – fitting a bunch of speed bumps along his street to slow down speeding drivers. 

A guy called Steve Green took to TikTok – who posts under the handle @greenfoxmotox – to show off his neighbor’s handiwork. 

In the clip, he can be seen walking towards the road while he explains that his neighbor is ‘p***ed off with people speeding so he went and made his own speed bumps’.

The unusual DIY project sparked a bit of debate online

The footage shows four hand-made speed bumps in a row that are ‘taller than the curb’, according to Green. 

Although he doesn’t reveal how long the artisan speed bumps have been in situ, he does confirm that it’s long enough that ‘there’s been so many cars’ that have already got scratched up. Ouch. 

Green then, quite rightly, points out that it’s probably not legal to go ahead and fit a set of speed bumps on a public road. 

And plenty of fellow TikTok users were quick to agree with one person suggesting the neighbor was ‘about to get sued’ and another saying he could be in ‘huge legal trouble’. 

However, other commenters praised the unnamed neighbor, with one asking, “Can he come do my road next?”

In an update, Green revealed the speed bumps were still in place, but the owner had sprayed them with yellow paint – presumably to make them a bit easier to spot.
