"As you all know," the Chief said to his staff, "we've had a problem with speeders on this particular street." He pointed to a city street map. "I'm looking for a creative solution to this problem. Any ideas?"

Natsumi raised her hand. "Put up a brick wall just before the intersection. That'll stop 'em."

The Chief sighed. "The route must remain open to traffic, Tsujimoto."

"I could design a movable wall," Miyuki said. "Say, a 150mm steel plate, mounted on heavy springs below ground level?"

"Does anyone have an idea," the Chief asked, "that didn't come from a Road-Runner cartoon!?"
