At the bottom he pulled a U-turn and then rocketed up the street glaring at me the while - how dare I look as if I disapprove of his driving his expensive car like that! So the homeowners association is looking at speed bumps - and NONE of us want them. But we do not know how to stop these people. Number 5 looks like the first alternative I have seen - but will we think seriously of it?
I've been known to find a sports radar gun and check speeds in my neighborhood. A camera with pics of the offending driver might make them think that just maybe someone is paying attention to their JA style of driving. Maybe not!! And, it's public space - nothing at all illegal about taking a pic of the car and driver.
