They do often force people to go way under the speed limit. The thing being visible is an additional indicator that you should take it extra slow and careful here.

Which is often the wrong thing to do.
Your car’s suspension needs force to do its job. If you idle over a bump, that force is applied on the far side of the bump when you drop, making it bouncy.
If you go over it at a reasonable speed, the force is applied on the near side of the bump, compressing the shocks, so all it needs to do is return to normal on the far side.
Nah, it depends on the speed bump. The one in front of my old house had scrapes in front and behind because you could definitely not take it at the speed limit. Locals knew that and crept over it, non locals often went THUNK.
A shitty speed bump, but you’ll be fine because you don’t drive too fast, do you?

Yeah but diving slow is not the same as crawling over a speed bump. I’m used to this road after so many years, but I’ve always wanted to post it here.
Try hitting one of those at 25mph.
Sometimes speed bumps are pretty bad even when you drive under the limit.
