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
