Anyone had success removing these speedbumps?

We had our alley repaved for the first time in 8 years, and 6 months later they go, and install these horrible rubber speed bumps. Fucking hate these things. They are so fucking bad. You need to come to a complete stop to drive over them at a crawl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13i9XVzlMw


These things are installed with 3 spike that are about a foot long into a predrilled hole in the asphalt, and then it looks like each has 4 smaller spikes driven at a 30 degree angle making it impossible to pry out.
Each one is counter sunk in about a half inch.

I have a rebar puller, but without and exposed head, I have nothing to attach to.

The city wont ever remove these, gotta take maters into my own hands.

This is the easiest option. If nothing else it'll make a huge mess and they'll need to pave it again.

Alternatively if you could drill/cut around the pegs then there would be nothing holding the speedbump down, but you'd be left with rebar sticking up out of the ground that you'd need to pull out or hammer flat.
>>
Angle grind the top of the pegs off and just pull it up. It would be messy though since you'd need to angle grind through a bit of the rubber.

Get a huge hammer and hammer the pegs through the speedbump flat into the ground. You'd probably need to put a short piece of metal or aomething on top of the peg so the hammer would hit it

Protip

The faster you go, the less you'll notice the bump, and really hammer the throttle just before the bump to decompress the front suspension

This is why they're called speed bumps instead of slow bumps

Glad I don't have to deal with that bullshit in my neighborhood. Usually I just rev the shit out of my car and be as annoying as fucking possible whenever I encounter a speed bump, in the hopes that if it's in a neighborhood, a resident will destroy it themselves. Considering I deliver pizza, I probably annoy the shit out of them all the time at all hours of the day.

Back when I was in high school they installed these in the student parking areas after a kid backed out of his parking spot and clipped a car already traveling.

Eventually we just started driving up over the curb and onto the grass to go around them. The curb was a smoother grade anyways.

Just pour gas on them and ignite them. If it makes a mess someone will come to fix it or remove it.

>Anyone had success removing these speedbumps?

MacGyver here.

Take one of those deeper hole cutting saws and cut a hole around each of the 3 spikes as far down as it will go. The hole should be as small as possible. Once the hole is cut, you can use a crowbar to pry up the speedbump. You will end up with three spikes sticking out. Take a sledgehammer and pound them into the ground or else they will take a chunk out of people's tires. If the spikes were set in concrete fill, they might not go deeper which means you have to replace the rubber speedbump.

Those who have shallow hole cutters that go only 2 inches deep will have to spend a lot more effort and time. Take something sharp and pound it down in the cut edge. That will perforate the speedbump. Do this all around the circumference. There are curved chisels that do this if you happen to have those.

Now, there are several types of rubber speedbumps. The cheap ones are rubber all the way thru. The expensive ones have a shallow metal "C" in them to prevent removal by a saw. Those are not removable with this MacGyver technique.
>>
>>16097252
>Just cut through them inbetween the spikes

Some speedbumps have a piece of rebar through them. Simply sawing in between the spikes won't free up the rubber sections but the hole saw method in >>16097387 will work for these if a small diameter is used so that it misses hitting the rebar.

You cannot pry this speedbump without removing the smaller spikes that prevent prying.

And once the small ones are removed, the speedbump is not strong enough to be pryed out with the larger spikes in tact. Last thing I wanna do is leave huge piece of rebar sticking out from the ground.

I'm gonna go inspect this fucking thing in a few, and see what type it is.

That's because some neighborhoods stop speeders by installing their own speed bumps without city authorization. The city formally outlawed them because bumps damage the new type of snowplows they use.

That kind of reverse logic can work. If enough people complain against the speed bumps, they get removed. A lot of times, bumps show up because not enough people cared to say NO. Thus the special interest group gets their way especially if they can ad hominem all their opposition into silence. I've seen ad hominem all too often as the main method of "proof" (no opposition means it gets implemented).

That speed bump is actually nice, and smooth. We used to have large asphalt speed bumps like that, but they are all getting replaced by these rubber atrocities that only cost about $100 each.

Some of those are so smooth, and insignificant that you can go over them at 40mph like it was nothing.

You should also post flyers around the neighborhood to make it sound more legit, nobody's going to call the city and ask "is there really gonna be work going on at 12:00 PM Saturday?"

So about 5 years ago by now there was some sort of utility wire work near my house. There was a temporary speed bump installed to protect a cable until it could be buried or hung or whatever. Don't think it was power, maybe fiber optic or something...

ANYWAYS. This speed bump was really wicked. Imagine like, rolling over a 6-8 inch curb that had an approach ramp of 45 degrees. You had to CREEP over this thing even in a car at stock ride height. Like we're talking even a Jeep or SUV would get jostled pretty rough by it. Also for some godforsaken reason it wasn't actually secured to the ground by any method except its own weight.

Well, this pissed off some mysterious stranger. Said mysterious stranger cared not for the damage this would do to his vehicle (I'm assuming it was a big brotruck), and would fucking PLOW over it going way faster than the speed limit for the road. Not being secured down, it would get beat up and pushed down the road a little, the cable would come with it, and the bump would have to be replaced or moved back into position. Every day I went to work, I saw this thing was fucking annihilated. Every evening I came home from work, crews had put it back in place.

This happened for weeks. Eventually crews with flagmen would get there early as fuck to make sure you went slow as shit over it. Said mysterious stranger guy started getting up early just to fuck the speedbump's shit up before the crews got there. It was hilarious.

Do it with confidence and nobody will do shit. When I lived in college dorms my bike lock froze up so I grabbed an angle grinder and extension cord and cut the thing off in broad daylight. People walked by and stared at me but didn't do shit. I did all sorts of seemingly highly questionable shit when I was in uni, but at the time I had the confidence of knowing it was OK (usually something I could call the dean of engineering college over to vouch for me) and so nobody bothered harassing they guy cutting shit apart in front of the engineering building in broad daylight.

If you're wanting to simply damage them instead of go about physically removing them, make some Nigerian-grade Napalm by dissolving styrofoam in petrol - you'll need a shitton of styrofoam to get it nice and thick, but even a small amount of it burns for a good couple of minutes and might even get the rubber burning by itself.

Yeah.... Except that hitting them at speed means you barely feel them. Added bonus, people learn that hitting a speed bump isn't a big deal, and they stop being faggots about it.

Just like railroad tracks in my town. If you hit them at the speed limit, it's akin to rolling a pencil under your hand on a desk. "Rock crawling" them feels like "left wheel goes up then down, damn that was a big bump, right wheel goes up then down, damn that was a big bump, repay for the rest." Stop being a neurotic fuck, and just drive.

what if you made your own speed humps with them?

like maybe you could buy a big bag of rocks and layer it on the sides of the bump, and then a big bag of sand to pour over the rocks. might have to do this for a few weeks but other drivers will help pat it down and end up being a smoother transition with the pebble/sand ramp.

>>16095595
This.

They're held in with shitty spikes. Use a cordless drill with a hole saw slightly bigger than the head of the spike. Drill round all spikes and lift the hump, then either knock in the spikes or cut them off (otherwise punctures).

Anyway, just go quicker over them, you can't feel them. Unless of course you're a stancefag, in which case you deserve your fate.
