Speed bumps can never be a good thing.

They unnecessarily wear the suspension and waste fuel from all of the idiots that brake hard and fall below the speed limit. More people have been rear-ended due to someone braking hard for a speed bump than collisions attributable to exceeding the speed limit. Besides, there is already a law concerning the safe speed to travel. If there is a problem with people not abiding to the law, then enforcement needs to be stepped up. More revenue for the city should be adequate incentive to enforce the law.
