I'm wondering if anyone can install a speed bump anywhere, at any time in the DR?
- ha,ha - Is there even a permit process? Or is this the Wild West?

Speed bumps everywhere!
My primo works for the Ministry of Speedbumbs. I can get you a permit. Just give me $5000 US dollars.
. . . . . ok ok ok ok ok, just give me 1000 pesos.

Speed bumps made my life a misery yesterday. First, they decided to paint the ones in Sosua behind the beach during morning rush hour, causing big traffic jams (not helped by the usual line-jumpers). Then I got a shock in the afternoon in Cabarete main street, where they installed one yesterday outside Lifestyles, unsigned and unpainted. Nearly took my wheels off.
In my area -- RSJ to Nagua-- they're painting ALL the speed bumps and fixing the roads
The gov't is hard at work !!

I bet they are. You're like one constant PR machine. You really must know pretty infrastructure fixes are low hanging fruit
The government fills potholes and paints bumps every year leading up to Semana Santa, which starts this Monday.
They had one in front of our school; after about the fifth accident they removed it.
yeah speedbumps, this must be the promised land for everyone who likes speedbumps. 
I understand the reason why they put them up is that they don't want people to speed in certain areas. However, does that really matter? especially with the Motos, they just jump right over them anyways. So instead of actually fixing the real "issue" with people being allowed on the road who should never be there in the first place, they just set up speed bumps that annoy the crap out of everyone else. I mean, the traffic situation since they set up those 4 speed bumps around the beach area, has just been awful. All of the traffic jams are solely because of them (and sometimes because of DIGISETT directing the traffic).
Fun thing though, here in Los Castillos, on the road behind the baseball field, the other day someone put up 3 speed bumps within like 50 meters. Like 5 days later, 2 of them had been removed

We had a speedbump problem in my little Canadian hamlet, as the schoolkids were racing across them in mommy's and daddy's cars. The problem was solved by replacing the speedbumps with stop signs. Get the feeling that wouldn't work here.
Where are the speed bumps he promised for Kite Beach? One in the middle and one in front of La Curva... And yeah the traffic light in La Cienega (not a fan of). But yeah we need some speedbumps (Polizia Acostada) at Kite Beach. Maybe wait for the next major accident
