Dozens of concrete islands are popping up on Milwaukee streets to prevent people from passing on the right, but the Department of Public Works says the curb bump-outs have created another challenge.

Kevin Muhs is the city engineer. He says the bump-out poles have been smashed more times than DPW anticipated.

I predicted these wouldn’t work and now we see that not only do they NOT stop people from speeding and driving recklessly, it costs additional tax dollars to fix them. The money used installing these things should have gone towards enforcement instead.
