Anyone at the Eagles Point Apts(USF) and their new Speed Bricks?
I've been through the entrance of this place before and thought their use of speed bumps was excessive....but wow.

Drivers upset over big speed bumps at Tampa apartments

Cars struggle to make it over the 4-inch-high bumps.
TAMPA (Bay News 9) -- Some drivers at Eagles Point Apartments and Cypress Run Apartments in Tampa are complaining about new speed bumps.
The Eagles Point apartment manager says the complex put them in several days ago because too many drivers were speeding near a school bus stop. But some renters say the speed bumps, which are between the two complexes, are too big, too square and too hard to drive over.
"I don't think there's any need to shape them that way," said resident Charleen Maher. "There's a lot of cars that are bottoming out and they're getting damaged because of it."
The apartment manager says they built the square speed bumps because drivers were flying over the old ones.
The apartment complex doesn't need a permit from the county or the city to install the bumps because it sits on private property and speed bump regulations only apply to public places
