I live in a large development. Years ago a neighbor (I assume) came knocking with a petition to put speed bumps throughout the development. I declined to sign. He stormed off looking like he wanted to curse me out, but held his tongue. A few months later the bumps arrived. I hate them.
Are they the small kind or the big kind? In many cases the solution to the small kind is to simply drive faster so that your suspension absorbs the bump
At a museum near me they installed relatively deep cuts leading to drains. They are roughly as effective as the large speed humps for slowing people down, and they make the drains work better.
