Best Answer

The main purpose of a speed bump is to slow down traffic. A car going over a speed bump quickly risks damage to itself and its passengers. Speed bumps are best used in parking lots and other places where keeping traffic slow is important to avoid accidents with pedestrians and parked cars.
