Face Off: Do the new speed bumps on campus help or hurt us?

December 29, 2013 by MaryKate Glenning & Denise Baumann

HURT: 

I hate Pepperdine’s new speed bumps. Especially the one at the CCB round-a-bout.  My car bottoms-out every single time, even when I slow way down.  I pay enough money to go to Pepperdine to not also have to pay to have my car and tires fixed!  I understand the need for speed bumps in urging students to slow down, but I think the amount of speed bumps on campus now is unnecessary.  The speed bumps have got me feeling in the dumps! -MaryKate Glenning, Junior

HELP:

Although the speed bumps on campus can be annoying to drive over, they help lower the speed of cars, which keeps us safe when we cross the street. One time before the speed bumps were added, my mom almost got hit by a car because the driver was going too fast. Since we were trying to cross the street on a hill, it was impossible to see the car before it was too late. -Denise Baumann, Senior
