What is the difference between speed humps and speed bumps?
Speed bumps are usually utilized in parking lots, such as for shopping centers, and where speed limits are around 5 mph; therefore speed bumps are shorter (up to 3 feet wide) and can be taller (as high as 6 inches) than speed humps. Speed bumps require drivers to come to almost a complete stop before passing over the bump. Speed humps are designed to slow traffic to the posted speed limit and can generally be driven over consistently at 20-25 mph. Speed humps are 12 feet wide and 31/2inches high. Clickherefor pictures. The City of Peoria NTMP offers speed humps as opposed to speed bumps.
