In a more sympathetic attempt to slow down traffic road planners in Philadelphia have been experimenting in 2008 with painted illusions of speed bumps These speed bumps are perceived as identical to real speed bumps but cost substantially less ($500 vs. $2.000), does not impede water flow and poses no threat to ambulances or other speeding emergency vehicles.
However, as commentators have pointed out, fake speed bumps also make drivers familiar with these immune to such fake speed bumps. In fact, as these fake speed bumps gains their effect from their real cousins, a widespread introduction of fake speed bumps may ultimately lead to hazardous driving behavior even at real speed bumps.
