[trafficsafety] Bikini Bandits: creative traffic calming

Very inspiring link from the Velolove (Vancouver, B.C.) mail list:
http://speedbandits.dk/

Short news video about some daring Danes slowing speeders. Don't watch
it if you're not tolerant of bare jiggling boobies!

I wouldn't suggest that Portland-area busty babes emulate this method
for slowing drivers, but the point is that drivers slow down when
encouraged the right way. Ideas for incorporating daring / fun /
attention-getting techniques to traffic calming? It would be plenty
easy to get media coverage, the local stations / papers are all about
this sort of thing. We could maybe recalibrate the idea of speeding in
the public mind, so that people who drive too fast are thought of as
jerks while all the good responsible citizens, the majority, drive
approximately the speed limit. I can certainly think of some
chronic-speeder locations around town for targetting.
