Both speed bumps and speed humps are designed to slow down traffic. Speed humps are typically used where traffic needs to flow smoothly while still slowing down for pedestrians. If a vehicle goes over a speed hump too quickly, it may cause a jolt, leading to discomfort for passengers and disturbance to any cargo.
