I noticed this stopped a driver who pulled a gun on a motorcyclist.

Monster trucks don't even slow down for these bumps, I've seen them roll unaffected, at speed over these minor inconveniences

Sounds like you need more speed bumps. Two per block is a good number if the blocks aren't too long.

They are designed to stop top end speeding, which they do. But it doesn't feel safe to ride with cars going 20mph. There's no number of bumps that will change this reality.
