Dangers loom for Ermelo drivers dodging speed bumps

Some of these cones have been damaged, exposing steel rods/anchors that were originally intended to secure them in place.

ERMELO – It has frequently been observed that drivers in Ermelo are strategically maneuvering their vehicles to avoid speed bumps at various locations throughout the town.

While many residents might be guilty of this, the Highvelder aims to alert motorists to the potential dangers of these practices.

These exposed steel rods/anchors pose a significant risk, as they can cause serious damage to your tires.

Recently, Highvelder photographed damaged speed calming bumps in De Emagratie Street, between Ligbron Akademie and Morgan Nissan, where they have been displaced, leaving the sharp steel rods/anchors upright in the road.
