Humps are often used on streets, while bumps are used more in parking lots.
It’s similar to speed bumps. Humps are less aggressive than speed bumps at low speeds.
- English (US)
hump and bump are synonyms. They are the same. Bump is more commonly used.
In the UK and Belize the term for speed bump is "sleeping policeman", a very funny term. :)

@cme4pif Here in Russia the term for speed bump is "лежачий полицейский" that could be translated into English as "recumbent policeman."
