[edit] Painted?

"Occasionally in the UK, they may be painted horizontally across the road in groups of 5 as a traffic calming method, to slow drivers down." I imagine painted-on strips wouldn't actually rumble. Am I understanding this sentence wrong? --Mdwyer 22:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

They do rumble but not quite in the normal way, they cause an on-off vibration as oppose to a constant one as the car drives over them. --Nidonocu 15:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plaigiarism

I may have spelled that wrong, but a lot of the text is copied from the sources and placed in here. Unless the person that wrote the original text also wrote the article, it needs to be re-written, or there needs to be a direct quote inserted. --MPD01605 22:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actual inventor?

So who's Charlie's parent?

[edit] Fart Strips

I've known many folks (Including my own family) who call Rumble Strips "Fart Strips" because of their distinctive sound. Maybe a nod to this?

EDIT: Scratch that, just did a Google search. Evidently my friends and I are in the minority on that.
