:lol nice one Matt. I’m really wishing i was in a flat state, like arizona or something, i’d prolly tuck my 19s in on the Audi. i actually need wheel travel in this bumpy ass state

does anyone actually know the technical difference between a “speed bump” and a “speed hump”? cuz i see both signs but the thing on the pavement is the same as anywhere. why call em different names?

Google is an amazing tool, use it :nod

Speed Humps:

  • Are a gradual raised area in the pavement surface extending across the entire travel width
  • Typically, 3 to 4 inches in height with a travel length of 12 to 15 ft
  • Have evolved from extensive research & testing
  • Create a gentle vehicle rocking motion which results in most vehicles slowing to 15 mph at each hump and 25 to 30 mph between properly spaced humps in a system
  • Need to be designed and installed with proper planning and engineering
  • Effective at controlling speeds without creating accidents or imposing unreasonable or unacceptable safety risks

Speed Bumps:

  • Are an abrupt raised area in the pavement surface
  • Effective at controlling speeds on low volume, low speed roads, especially private driveways and parking lots
  • Typically, 3 to 6 inches in height with a travel length of 6 in. to 3 ft
  • Cause significant driver discomfort at typical residential speeds\
  • Cause vehicles to slow to 5 mph or less at the bump
  • Maintenance headaches especially for plow trucks
