What is a "speed hump"?
A speed hump is a gently raised section of road, commonly made of asphalt or rubber. It is designed to reduce vehicle speed, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic or where safety is a concern. Speed humps are typically used in residential neighborhoods, parking lots, or near schools, where they encourage drivers to slow down without causing a sudden bump. Unlike speed bumps, which are shorter and more abrupt, speed humps are longer and less steep, allowing vehicles to pass over them more smoothly while still reducing speed.
Example
Some drivers do not like speed humps because they have to reduce their speed.
The city installed a speed hump to prevent speeding in residential areas.
There is a speed hump near the school to ensure cars drive slowly.
