Merger from speed bump

The claim in the article Speed bumps are significantly smaller than speed humps and used in areas where speed must be slowed nearly to a halt does not seem borne out by article content or references. --Matilda ^talk 22:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge them. The difference is trivial.--Ferox117 (talk) 02:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with a merger, but we must ensure that the differences between them remain clear. For that matter, if we're going to with merging, consider including Speed table. They all are similar devices, but still with distinct difference. All the articles appear to be a good size, but I didn't read each to see how much info overlaps. Watch out if the joined article starts to get too long... that may be why they've been split apart. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 16:57, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel they are different as humps are longer and have a less sharp incline. Speed bumps are more common (in the UK) and are have an sharper incline. and if these are merged, then, also speed cushions should be too as they are broken up speed bumps used to calm traffic, yet allow emergency vehicles to access areas more effectively. they have some similarities, but they also have many differences. I feel it should be merged the other way around if, for some reason, they are merged. Legalways (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merging this and speed humps would be like merging apple and orange because they are both fruits. Please respond if anyone cares or I will be removing the merger.Chadbailey (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merging the two would not be like merging apples and oranges, it would be like merging Green Apples and Red Apples. They are both the same, with subtle differences.Pfkninenines (talk) 00:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even using your analogy they would not be merged green apple red apple Chadbailey (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rubber

This article, along with Speed tables, Speed cushions and Speed bumps all contain claims about the superiority of rubber with no citations and verge towards being an ad for rubber speed control products. While I don't doubt the claims of ease of installation, does anyone have a source for the durability claims? Pnorman (talk) 06:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
