Chinese tourist town installs speed bumps for pedestrians
Over 50 speed bumps have been installed on a pedestrian walkway in Taierzhuang, an ancient town on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in China. Officially described as "calming devices," they cover a distance of 100 metres and are believed to encourage pedestrians to slow down and enjoy the scenery. Meanwhile, some people have claimed they are meant as a makeshift staircase.
