I normally hate using speed bumps to slow down neighborhood traffic...

You are opposed to attempts to restrict speeds through residential neighborhoods to more safe levels?

I am opposed to using potentially destructive means to do so for handling 1-2% of drivers, yes. But in this particular case, I’d be willing to temporarily make the exception.

Speed bumps often are not well marked, and the average law-abiding driver could be caught unawares, causing vehicle damage even when driving at or under the speed limit. They are usually not intended to limit people to the correct speed limit - they are usually intended to slow people to about 5-10 mph, which is annoyingly restrictive.
