Bumps and ramps on the road are annoying and tear down the wheels of our cars. This modern speed bump however, activates only when a car is actually driving past the speed limit of that particular road. It therefore doesn’t affect all the other innocent law-abiding drivers, like you and me.
That means that if you’re driving at the right speed, the speed bump will stay flat in the ground – but if you’re speeding, it automatically rises as you approach, which also works as a warning as it gives the driver time to slow down.
The idea has already been put into action in a few places around the world and is currently available in Mexico, where a video posted online demonstrating the invention has been seen almost 2 million times.
Let’s put it this way – it’s no shocker this invention has gone viral. It’s a simple yet brillliant invention which solves a global problem.
Watch how it works in the clip below:
