City officials in Somerville, Massachusetts, are responding to complaints that some of the speed humps they installed are catching drivers off-guard.. Officials said they have been hugely successful in improving traffic safety, but some drivers said the structures are so hidden, they are causing damage to their cars."There was no sign that said 'raised structure' or anything. It didn't have any signs, so I just didn't know it was there," Aguiar said.
"There will be a grind when they get to the ground because they're not realizing it's a bump," Priolisi said. "From a traffic safety perspective, which is the point, it's been amazingly successful," Postlewaite said. "Striping contractors have been really short staffed," he said."It's still a challenge to find them."
