Another would be to put speed cameras that issue tickets to vehicles exceeding the suggested 20 mph.
What would you suggest?

NEITHER

Speed bumps would effectively change the yield sign to a stop sign and totally disrupt traffic flow at every roundabout. Bad idea.

Speed cameras in an RB? Very low yield. Ever try to take an RB at over 20 in an SUV? Good luck. Maybe you'd catch a few cowboys in a high performance sports car, but that's it. Better off monitoring the straightaways for those going 55+ on BV and Morse. Of course, the 35 speed limit on those roads is ridiculous in the first place---traffic is slowed down by all the RBs anyway. I suspect the only reason for setting it at 35 was to allow idiots in their idiotic "street legal" golf carts on the road to play Russian Roulette.
