Oh... Hells No!
Hrm... Interesting. Seems that someone at the D.O.T. has decided to install traffic sensing rubber hoses on my street. Lucky for me, they're right by my house. In fact, they're literally 50 feet from my bedroom window. I'm LOVING the increased noise level as cars drive over them.
The following Questions and Answers were given to me last night by my resident traffic engineer, B.C.:
Q: So, hypothetically, how long are such things left on the road?
A: Those are speed calculators, so maybe a week.
Q: And, um, hypothetically, how much trouble would I get into for removing them?
A: None, unless you get caught.
Q: And, HYPOTHETICALLY, what tools would I require?
A: Probably none, after I got a look at it this morning, unless I wanted to dismantle the whole contraption, but that seems like too much work.
