What does this sign mean?

Related Information

If you’ve ever driven through a residential area, chances are you have encountered humps in the road. These humps are designed to slow traffic down and keep drivers from speeding through neighborhoods, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles on the roads.


Humps come in various shapes and sizes depending on their intended use. Some humps may be small mounds with a gradual incline while others may be larger with sharper edges meant for heavier traffic areas such as highways or major thoroughfares. Depending on local regulations, they can also vary in height up to three inches tall which is enough to make most drivers take notice but not so high that it causes discomfort for passengers inside of cars or trucks passing over them.


Regardless of shape, size, or location, all hump signs serve one purpose: slowing down drivers who would otherwise speed through residential streets, endangering themselves, others around them, and potentially damaging property along their way. This makes these signs invaluable tools when it comes to ensuring driver safety particularly during peak hours when there tends to be more people out walking, biking, etc.


When approaching any type of hump sign, always remember too slow your vehicle down before crossing over as failure too do so could result in damage being done either for yourself, your vehicle, or someone else's property nearby. Additionally, never attempt to go over any bump faster than what is recommended by law enforcement officials as this could result not only endangerment but also potential fines!
