I'd argue that it conditions people to assume every child is a speed bump, and to slow down accordingly upon driving over them.
And you know, hopefully while they're slowing down the child can saunter out of the way.
But I think regardless of how many times you take the road (despite the fact that speed bump appears to be in an underground parking lot for BC Hydro) and know full-well that the child is a speedbump and not a real child - if you're fiddling in your purse for your phone, or grabbing something from between your seat and out of the corner of your eye you see the
shape of a child, it will instinctively make you slam on the brakes.
But if you're driving attentively at a normal speed, it's just a normal freakin' speedbump.
