I might be guessing incorrectly, but it feels like users here don’t post personal pictures as much (for a variety of good reasons). So this kind of recognition isn’t as common.
Some of the local communities are more bustling than others though!
They do often force people to go way under the speed limit. The thing being visible is an additional indicator that you should take it extra slow and careful here.

Which is often the wrong thing to do.
Your car's suspension needs force to do its job. If you idle over a bump, that force is applied on the far side of the bump when you drop, making it bouncy.
If you go over it at a reasonable speed, the force is applied on the near side of the bump, compressing the shocks, so all it needs to do is return to normal on the far side.
Nah, it depends on the speed bump. The one in front of my old house had scrapes in front and behind because you could definitely not take it at the speed limit. Locals knew that and crept over it, non locals often went THUNK.

I literally couldn't find it until I zoomed in a lot. That's pretty bad.
Speed bumps where I'm from are usually wider and clearly marked, similar to this picture I found online:
Did you stop in the middle of the road to take the picture? At least it achieved its purpose of slowing you down.
Yeah it's not a traffic road and is entirely deserted after school drop off times.
Never expected to see a clemmons neighbor posting on Lemmy tbh
I feel like this is a milestone interaction for Lemmy. Used to be surprisingly common on Reddit, but I don’t think I’ve even seen it here before…

You're right, I'm pretty sure we're all here for some level anonymity.
Oh wow, I was just wondering the other day if anybody from NC was on Lemmy. Didn't expect somebody from Clemmons! Howdy neighbor!
Where is it? I see flat road
It’s camouflaged
It's right behind you now!
Exactly
Its only camouflaged for like 15 mins per day. Only when the sun stands exactly like that.
A shitty speed bump, but you'll be fine because you don't drive too fast, do you?

Yeah but diving slow is not the same as crawling over a speed bump. I'm used to this road after so many years, but I've always wanted to post it here.
Try hitting one of those at 25mph.
Wait...is the speed bump behind me right now?
Drive around mexico and these things are everywhere. Called topes. Really wakes ya up when you hit one going forty mph lol
This better be a troll post
Why?
I can't see it
It's right across the road here. It blends in with the shadows/sunrays, hence "camouflaged".
Ha! I thought it was in one of the closer sun beams.
Please tell us you are not actually driving a car.
I stopped and took a picture because it's not a traffic road. Pretty deserted after school drop off time.
Could be a screenshot from a dash cam
??
Looks like a pretty standard sausage type speed bump, maybe a bit worn?
Is it painted grey or something?
