nacto.org/publication/... Speed humps are parabolic vertical calming devices intended to slow speeds on low volume, low speed roads. Speed humps are 3–4” high and 12–14’ wide, with a ramp length of 3–6’, depending on target speed.

nacto.org/publication/... Speed tables are midblock calming devices that raise the wheelbase of a vehicle to reduce its speed. Speed tables are longer than speed humps and flat-topped, with a height of 3–3.5” and a length of 22’. Operating speeds for range from 25–45 mph, depending on the spacing.
