The definition of the beloved TOPE, known as speed bump, some are made of a steel rounded bar, steel tube enbeded in concrete ramps sometimes very steep, most are made of concrete, the most anoying are the half round metal ones, depending on how they place them when you hit them they can really rattle the vehicles, the worst that I have come across are the three rows of the metal ones, with 4 inches of spacing between them and the second row just behind the spacing of the first and the third in line with the first.
If you hit these at anythig more that one mile per hour you will need to do a front end alignment, they really slow vehicles dow, some of theese topes are hard to see, even in daylight a tree shadow can hide then, they normally should have yellw and white stripes, since they were painted in the previous century, the paint is no more.
When nearing or traversing towns slow down, for some odd reason they place schools next to the roads and the famous topes to indicate a crosswalk or school.
Be alert be aware or the tope will get ya!
