In the early seventies they had really mean speed bumps in Northern Ireland. About 6 inches tall, semicircular(not a gentle slope) and set at 45Āŗ to the flow of traffic, if you hit them at speed they flipped your car over ā really effective.
I understand them, but traffic engineers donāt seem to. Otherwise, why put a 20 MPH speed bump every two blocks on a stretch of road posted 35 MPH. Which do you want to tear up, your shocks, your brakes, or your schedule?
Long ago, my father told me that I need to go slowly over a bump of any kind, in order to save my carās suspension. Iāve always heeded that advice, unlike my sister, who apparently didnāt listen.

A speed bump on open highway like shown here would be really destructive. Iāve only ever seen them in places like parking lots.

I swear that a few towns near me just quit patching the holes. Slows drivers down just as well.

George Carlin famously pointed out that we illogically drive on parkways and park on driveways.

A few decades back, Volvo demonstrated an active suspension. It could detect speed bumps and lift the wheels over them.
