I think the time has come for me to film some footage on Church Rise and post it up on here, to demonstrate why there are objections to speed cushions especially.

Sadly emergency vehicles are getting squeezed more and more, and limited to which routes they can use to get to an emergency.
For example, an RTC at the mini roundabout at the end of Mayow Road, would take maybe an extra minute or more to get to, as the fire engines cant go up Sunderland, so instead they have to use Church Rise.

I have NO problems with emergency service vehicles using my road at any time of day or night.. I just pity the people who have to wait longer for emergency attention.

Ultimatly, for the idiots out there in company vehicles, high suspension vehicles, or old sheds..... humps, bumps and lumps in the road make very little difference.
And on the flip side, speaking of damage to the suspension. Sadly with the build quality of the speed humps out there, a LOT of cars suffer damage even at low speeds.
