JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — It’s like the Mount Washington of speed bumps.

As WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell reported, the gouged and scarred asphalt on Erie Street near 8th Avenue in Jersey City tells the story. Some cars come to a complete stop at the large speed bump, but others go way too fast, bottoming out and banging bumpers.

Dan hit it so hard he got out of his car to take a look.

Large Speed Bump Rattles Jersey City Drivers

“I thought I had damaged the car on the bottom or something,” he told Haskell.

Drivers and residents say the speed bump is no good.

“I think it’s a little too high,” one man said. “I see a lot of cars are bottoming out on it. It’s all scraped and everything.”

“I’ve never seen one that big,” one woman 1010 WINS’ Derricke Dennis talked to said. “It’s very wide, too. Usually speed bumps are narrow.”
