Speed humps are unecessarily big and need to be made smaller or taken away

No need for them, too high and damaging cars, the vehicles that need slowing down are too high and wide to be affected!!!!

The problem with this road is to many different speed zones. One zone from Earith to Somersham maybe 40 as 30 would be ignored which ever it would need enforced. The bumps slow down the traffic to as low as 15/20 which increases the chance of bottoming out.

Reduculously high and serve more as a danger than a safety feature. These bumps were removed for a period and it was bliss! Then only to find they had been replaced in the same position even after an audit had stated the bump on the Earith Bend was in a poor position! Waste of taxpayers money and will cause accidents and vehicle damage. We all know the council won't be paying for the damage to cars either. Get them out!

Shame on council for burying their head in the sand. If you are going to do something, at least do it properly!

Better suited to mountaineering than sensible driving.

The speed bumps are inappropriate for the road and are too severe causing damage to the bottom of cars.

Not only do they cause extra noise and fumes, with the ground shaking as some vehicles bump over, I have also found them a danger to safety when crossing the road. Cars and lorries bunch up before the bump, then speed up between the bumps, making it difficult to gauge a safe time to cross. Particularly with dogs or children.

Awful things... if your gonna put speed bumps down do them properly and not so that they damage your car! My dad's just had a shoulder operation and going over them caused him alot of pain! Useless

You still see buses and lorries thundering over them at 30+ as they're not wide enough to slow them down. Badly positioned and poorly illuminated at night. Bring on the repair bills. Thanks HDCC!

these are a stupid waste of tax payers money, they are far too high and agressive for all types of cars (especially small ones like mine which requires like 5mph or it breaks your car) very poor warning for when driving in the dark so poses as a danger to drivers. They need to get gone

I damaged a tyre on my car as I couldn’t see these speed bumps in the dark, which compromised my safety on the road. The speed bumps are too high and i don’t have a 4WD! These speed bumps are damaging my car!!!!!!!

As a motorcyclist the one on the apex of the bend is so dangerous it’s ridiculous

No matter how slow we go there's always a huge bump to our cars . Also why speed bumps on abroad where there is no accidents on a 30mph limit . As you can't drive over them safely at 5mph they are pointless

Dangerous and far too high causing damage to cars Cannot be seen in the dark either and this is very dangerous for cyclists
