Trouble is all these fat fucking super trucks won't fit

I'd say fix the road size and the speed bumps.
Where I live is a great location but the traffic policies and design make it intermittently frustrating
The green streets are 25mph lined with houses, and are sub-main travel routes. But they are too wide for the speed limit and people regularly do 40-60mph down them.
I live on one of the blue streets fairly narrow and lined with cars and houses. Every once in a while some dumbshit comes ripping down the blue streets to bypass the normal green travel directions. This demands speed bumps/platforms, only way to slow these people down and wouldnt bother the residents who are only driving <20mph down the street.
A sad state of affairs.
