We have just had two weeks at Broadway. Noticing how some drivers (solo or towing) substantially exceed the 5 mph limit between the ramps, then slow down to cross them, there is no doubting that they are needed. However, my towcar is a standard MPV with rigid mudflaps, and was scraping badly as I drove over the humps. There is a basic design flaw in these plastic ramps, as they should not foul a standard production vehicle. (This is nothing to do with loading, BTW, as it happened when solo). If the ramp height is correct, then the profile on the trailing edge should have a slope so as to avoid the vehicle dropping back to road level whilst the zenith of the ramp is still under the mudflaps.
