Of course there are several different types of vertical deflection, with variable effectiveness. The most effective are taller and steeper. The least effective types are most in vogue for reasons you can probably guess. Sorry I don’t have the source for this in front of me.
P.S. One speed hump costs about 2K$, roughly 1/8 the cost of a mini roundabout. By all indications they are far more effective traffic calmers than are mini roundabouts.

Every long con needs a “store” – a place where the con plays out, like a fake betting shop where the scammers rope in the mark and fleece them of every dime. But once the con is done, the store has to shut down amid a “blow-off” that lets the grifters escape.

A storm tossed the containership ONE and dumped almost 2,000 containers into the ocean, including some containing hazardous materials. The ship lumbered into port in Kobe, Japan on December 8, 2020.
