The best method is to drive around them if possible and if not then use the angle method. They have 2 of them over by a friends house about 100 feet apart and one is so high that even if you stop and creep over it at an angle it will hit the oil pan and anything less than 10 inches off the ground. It is a ridiculous thing even for a speed bump and I know of two transmissions that have been messed up because of it and also one Cobra owner had the drain plug ripped out of his oil pan. I drive around it as there is room and a set of tracks where a lot of people do the same. Even my 1965 Comet will scrape the frame on it if I go over it above 10 MPH. If I lived on that street, and it is a private drive, that thing would be gone.
