How pro are you, /o/? Do you often hit the rumble strip when you drive on the highway like soccer moms and old people?

Also, does this shit fuck up your tires?

There's a rumble strip?
No, it should not fuck up anything, unless your ride on it all day.

Most highways have it. It's there as a safety net in case you start dozing off.

Bumps will eventually fuck up alignment and wear suspension components, but that takes course over a period of years in most cases. That's why you shouldn't deliberately drive over potholes and speed through speed bumps.

Creates tire noise, they place them on the edges on the road to wake you up or gain your attention if veering off the road.

There's this really neat rumble strip in a canyon near a little town in New Mexico called Tijeras (kind of close to Albuquerque, right off 40) and if you keep your tires on it for the whole length of it, it's actually designed to play a song.

I never did it myself, but as a passenger my uncle attempted it twice and failed because his mirrors were adjusted crappy on his Camaro and he couldn't see if he was on it.

Highway? not often.
Backroads in PA? constantly. I don't know who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put DEEP rumble strips not only on the center of the road (wider than the double yellow mind you) as well as on the side of the road (centered on the white line) so that if you are not PERFECTLY centered in the lane while cornering you will hit them.

Man, this neighborhood I deliver to put up these fuckhuge speedbumps that if you drive over them at more than 1mph it feels like you're going to bottom out. I saw this dude come down the road going maybe 25 or 30 and didn't slow one bit and saw him go airborne over those things. I see people speed over speedbumps all the fucking time so he probably thought they were just normal speed bumps. I hope he fucked his car up.

Abandoned Turnpike near Breezewood, PA has different types of test strips from when they started doing this. Also has many different types of in-road reflectors.

I don't know about your roads, but in the Appalachian Mountains in Northeastern GA/Southern NC, they have those strips at Stop signs to wake people up. Since the roads can be so long and winding before you hit one.

Stupidest shit ever. My tax dollars went into that useless trash and now every tourist and their mom slows down to 45 in a 55 for fucking miles to hear the song despite it only being present for less than a tenth of a mile.

I hate this state so much.

They did this shit on a bunch of the good roads in the Santa Monica Mountains (around Mulholland Highway) as well. They're annoying as shit in a car and dangerous on a bike.
