Speed bumps tear up heavy service vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances that are covered in, or filled with their assorted equipment.

As far as I can tell they do nothing to improve safety. They just annoy people and cause congestion and speed shear.

I go the speed limit over them, personally. It always ticks me off when I see someone in a smooth-riding luxury SUV take speed bumps at 2mph.
