They do often force people to go way under the speed limit.
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.
