Speed bumps are great and all, especially if they prevent unwanted deaths in your local neighborhood, but for those law abiding citizens they can be a menace on your car’s suspension, especially if you’ve got ground effects. The speed sensing speed bump detects when a car is traveling slowing and flattens, thus rewarding those that follow the posted speeds. For those that speed, though, the metal plates detect the sudden force and harden creating what is commonly known as a speed bump…or hump in some places. Built by Mexico’s Decano Industries, each speed sensing speed bump will cost roughly $1,500 to install and that doesn’t include the inevitable repairs from tampering.
