I recall doing some reading in like Popular Mechanics or somewhere on a baffled speed bump. Hit it at the posted limit and it releases so it's a smooth ride. Unnoticeable.
Funny you say that. About 10 years ago a few of my coworkers and I were speed testing the “speed bumps” on Speedway Blvd at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. They have the big tabletop style speed bumps and the speed limit is 25 along with a dip. If you go over the bumps at 25, the rental cars would rock like a tea cup in the ocean. So we decided that the challenge was to find the optimal speed to hit the bump / dip and make it feel like you were not hitting a speed bump while we were there for the week. So twice a day, we would increase our speed by a few MPH and hit the dip and bumps. We figured out that if you hit the bumps between 40 and 45 MPH while hitting the dip at 35 to 40 was the least hating on the rental car.
I think it’s awesome when you see those speed signs blinking like there broken, cus the speed is twice or three times what’s posted, in a safe manner of course... :steering:
