During a recent town hall meeting, the mayor proposed that installing additional speed bumps in residential areas will lead to a significant decrease in traffic accidents. The mayor referenced statistics showing that neighborhoods with speed bumps have lower rates of accidents compared to those without. She concluded that implementing this measure in more areas will ensure greater safety for residents.
However, some council members raised concerns about the mayor's conclusion, arguing that the mere correlation between speed bumps and lower accident rates does not imply causation. They suggested that other factors might be at play, such as increased neighborhood watch programs or enhanced police presence.
