Can someone translate German?
I live at the entrance to a small Sub-Division. We have dirt roads around here.... When the neighbors get to driving too fast I dig "water diversion" ditches across the road. If the technique turn to driving even faster, I make the ditches wider. If you drive slow it's just a slight dip. At about 40 the car comes off the ground. Usually this scares the neighbors into taking it easy. Kind of fun to watch too... Zdisease
