    I visited South Korea and drove while I was there, they had loads of fake speed bumps where they were just painted on but had no actual bump. Definitely made you slow down if you didn’t know the area.

    They also had lots of poles with flashing blue and red lights, so you thought there were cops ahead until you got close enough to realise it was just a pole.

    The place is playing full-on psychic warfare on the roads.

      Speed bump stickers make sense, but fake potholes are a terrible idea as they’ll get people to swerve around them to avoid wrecking their car. It sounds stupidly dangerous.

      Imagine you thought that the 3rd one was another fake, but it was real one. Car got almost destroyed.
