What speed is safe to cross speed bumps without damaging the car?

[MacChristopher]

There are four scenarios for crossing speed bumps at different speeds, as detailed below: Concrete speed bumps: These are typically semi-circular and relatively high. Vehicles can pass over them at a slightly higher speed, generally between 20-30 km/h, with minimal shaking. For larger vehicles, speeds of 30-40 km/h are acceptable. These bumps pose little to no harm to tires but require consideration of the vehicle's ground clearance. Metal speed bumps: These are usually lower in height and shaped like an inverted V. While they don't harm the vehicle's undercarriage, they can damage tires. Higher speeds increase the risk of tire damage, so it's advisable to cross them at around 40 km/h or slower to protect the tires. Liquid speed bumps: These become harder and higher the faster a vehicle approaches, potentially causing the car to bounce. Therefore, it's best to cross them as slowly as possible, ideally below 10 km/h, to avoid issues. Rubber speed bumps: These are primarily characterized by their height and do not damage tires. The recommended speed for crossing rubber speed bumps is below 40 km/h, which is also the preferred speed limit set in areas where these bumps are installed.
