Those Campground Signs...
This might fall under the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I don't even want to speculate...

Wait til you see the sign "Humps Ahead."
Yeah that's seems to be the PC word for bumps.

It may be similar to which area of the country you live in/visit. For example, do you have a pop or a soda with that hot dog? Or do you have supper or dinner?

So true, in one section of road near here they put small islands in the center of the road shifting the travel lane to the right and installed speed bumps. The signs state "Speed control devices ahead". I asked a friend who works for the county road dept about the verbiage. He said there was a stigma with "speed bump" that folks equated with "trailer park" which also haven't been used for 40-50 years.

Officially, Speed Bumps are narrower and tall, which you must slow to nearly a stop to not get jarred. Speed Humps, on the other hand, are much wider and made to travel over about 15 mph.
Mystery solved!
Btw, Humps are more common in many other countries as apposed to the Speed Bumps that are most common in the US.

This is the first "Speed Humps" sign I've seen...anywhere. I guess I need to get out more. If you take these particular "Speed Humps" at 15 MPH you'll need dental work.

Here in SW Florida we have both. The first "Speed Hump" sign I saw was on the road to my Cardiologist. When I asked if they had replaced the treadmill with equipment that was lower impact for stress tests I just got a blank stare. 
Or was it installed on a Wednesday by "MIKE, Mike, Mike".
Or did it have anything to do with the age of the folks in the neighborhood. 
The older bumps seem to have more damage from rear ends dragging.
The DW is right ... I do have too much time on my hands.

In Michigan can't recall seeing any Speed Humps....only Speed Bumps.. And in Michigan, all of the roads basically are speed bumps, pot holes and as I like to call some of the pot holes.... Basements...

Sarge, back when they found Saddam Hussein in a "spider hole" I said good Lord, he's been hiding here, in plain sight, in the middle of the road for decades!

I live in mid Illinois so the only difference between paved and gravel roads is the amount of dust.

Do you get cited at 3 1/2?

Naw!! Only if you are over the halfway mark... you know.. like doing 35 in a 25... if you were 30 probably won't get stopped...
so 3.5 divided by 2 = 1.75 + 3.5 = 5.5 you'd be cited....

Never saw speed "humps" either until FL. Ours here in TX are "bumps" that I've seen; pretty narrow and sort of tall with scrape marks on the tops. We take puppy for a walk daily at a little lake where you have to drive down a street to get to the access. The first time we saw the sign we laughed thinking someone had fouled up; but we have seen more so it wasn't a mistake. Unlike the bumps in TX these are maybe 4" high with nice rounded edges and maybe 3' wide; nothing like the jolts you get on the TX style. I've been over it so many times now I've found the truck likes the "hump" at anything up to 20, after that it will jar you.

"Topes" is the correct word here near Mexico.

Invert of Speed Bump?
Maybe this is too big of a shift in subject matter for this thread, but most speed hump and other speed associated signs are intended to get you to slow down. In the Southwest, we sometime encounter signs intended to get you to speed up!

That, and the one that says, "prison area, do not pick up hitchhikers."
