Speed bumps (or speed breakers) are the common name for a family of traffic calming devices that use vertical deflection to slow motor-vehicle traffic in order to improve safety conditions. Variations include the speed hump, speed cushion, and speed table. ... Many sports cars have this problem with such speed bumps



Speed Bumps are designed to:

1. Improve pedestrian safety

2. Reinforce stop signs in parking lots

3. Reduce the risk of accidents on private residential streets, driveways and parking lots

4. Speed bumps are specifically made to slow drivers down to between 2 to 5 mph.

5. Slow traffic on public roads such as schools, hospitals, anywhere reduced vehicle speeds are desired

6. Be gentle enough so that emergency vehicles do not need to slow down

7. Industrial areas or areas with heavy truck traffic where high speeds can lead to an overturned vehicle
