As congestion increases motorists look for alternative routes which often are our cycling routes. But in order for these routes to be a viable shortcut for motorists there is a need to exceed the speed limit which causes issues and concerns.
In order to address these concerns community’s have been installing chokers which has alarmed a local cycling community as most feel that chokers make roads less bike friendly, additionally chokers are one of the lest effective measure to reduce motorists speed.

Speed tables (long flat raised surface) on the other hand are effective at keeping speed near the desired limit without any significant discomfort to law abiding motorists or cyclists.
So I am curious how you feel, see poll in the right hand column.
Chockers and similar traffic calmers cause other problems, they slow the reponse time of ambulances and fire trucks, and make snow removal diffucult. Some of those speedbumps are rough on 700c tires, luckily speed bumps tend to collect debris in the downhill direction which eases the bump a bit. If the main arteries were better planned people would not seek alternate routes through back streets.
