It’s actually the big trucks and jeeps that take them the slowest, or the stupidly lowered cars. I take them fine in a crossover and have coworkers that do fine in priuses and other sedans.
It’s almost as if speedbumps are stupid. If they really wanted to address speeding traffic calming designs would have done it better and been prettier to look at.
Seriously though, lane narrowing is more effective at speed reduction and traffic calming than speed bumps. Both, even, are better for particularly stubborn stretches of road.
This does a much better job at reducing car speeds, and it is also vehicle size agnostic. People on SUVs feel far more threatened by narrowing lanes and will absolutely slow down. While they will plow through a speed bump because they can’t feel them with their emotional support tank’s suspension.
Speed bumps now are designed to make SUVs do 20. I don’t have an SUV, I can’t do 20 over them!

Meanwhile in my jeep, “what speedbumps?”

I swear jeeps and other “off road” vehicles take them the slowest.
You’re right. We should replace them with an automatic speed camera hooked up to automatic machine guns.

Speed bumps are designed? In my neighborhood I’d swear they’re just eye-balling it.
