My driving instructor taught me to take the bumps with 10 kms (7 miles?) under the speed limit. Works like a charm.

Also, this idea is stupid. Like the article says, this thing conditions people to keep driving when they see a child playing at the street.

In the UK they're experimenting with a different optical illusion, something with trees that grow closer to the road, which gives the illusion of a higher speed.
