Corrupt police officers are found involved in the skater's case

At Green Grove Park, despite the ban on promise signs, speed bumps, often called 'sleeping policemen', have been set up at the park's entrances. These are meant to compel skaters to slow down, as the speed limits imposed by scooter-sharing services internally aren't always efficient.

Hangin' Out in Green Grove Park: The Lowdown on Those Bumpy Curbs

Welcome to Green Grove Park where zippy e-scooters are supposed to chill, but those SIM vehicle owners might sneak in. To slow things down, speed bumps, fondly known as "sleeping cops," have popped up at park entrances. Why? Well, not all e-scooters and shared scooters heed their geolocation speed limits, and personal SIM vehicle owners can just drive on in.

Remember Popova Street in Yekaterinburg? Last year saw an influx of "sleeping cops" near a residential exit. But alas, they swiftly vanished. Local authorities judged the installation as illegal.

Fun fact: Speed bumps or "sleeping cops" can play a significant role in road safety, as they are designed to encourage drivers to slow down and reduce accidents.

Now, let's talk a bit more about the sad saga of our "sleeping cops." These babies are not usually forbidden fruit; local councils just have guidelines and standards for street designs and traffic management. The placements of speed humps must comply with traffic regulations and safety standards.

In the legal world, speed hump installations are often subject to local bylaws that specify the details, such as their size and placement. For instance, they must be designed with safety in mind, considering vehicle heights and impacts to ensure they're not causing unnecessary harm.

Now, while every city may have its peculiarities, it’s safe to say that the installation of speed humps must follow the rules. Some cities might consider them illegal if they fail to meet established safety and design standards. Remember, it’s all about compliance!

In other countries and regions, the rules might vary, with specific guidelines for managing traffic. Obtaining local authorities' approval is also key in some cases, so don't forget to check in with them!

Pro tip: Always do your research and abide by the laws, folks. You wouldn't want to end up slapped with a ticket or having to remove an unapproved speed hump!
