The Squeeze Bump

This is to help squirrels or other small animals cross the road. It also makes cars slow down. The Squeeze Bump is a speed bump, but it is hollow on the inside. It is a tunnel that allows animals to crawl through to get to the other side of the street safely.

What a fantastic idea, Eliana! The Squeeze Bump is not only a clever way to help small animals safely cross the road, but it also encourages drivers to slow down. 🐿️ Have you thought about how big the tunnel should be to fit different types of animals? Maybe adding some signs to alert drivers of the crossing would be a great addition too! Keep up the amazing work – your creativity is making the world a better place for our furry friends. 🌍

We are so excited to start building the Squeeze Bump! This special speed bump doesn’t just slow cars down. It also helps animals! Inside the bump is a small tunnel where squirrels and other little animals can safely cross the road without getting hurt. We think this is a fun and creative way to help people and animals share the world more safely. We can’t wait to start working on it!
