Oakland is making an effort to stop sideshows from happening in the city.
The first set of 'botts' dots are located at 35th and MacArthur. The dots are supposed to slow down drivers and make your car "fly up and down" once they are hit, according to City Councilmember Noel Gallo / KRON 4. More intersections are planned for the future.
In addition, Gallo states:
...the plan is to install barriers, roundabouts and raised pavement markers at all of the known hot spots for sideshows throughout the city.
Do you think these measures will prevent sideshows from happening?
