Types of speed bumps and cushions

1. Speed Bumps

• Standard bump, no cut-outs.

2. Speed Cushions

• Have three channels built into them, spaced to let emergency vehicles pass through with less delay
• Typically used on streets designated as Major Emergency Routes, after approval from Portland Fire and Rescue. 

3. Bike-friendly Bumps

• Have two channels designated for people biking to ride through a speed bump rather than over it
• Typically used on Neighborhood Greenway routes where people bicycling and pedestrians are given priority
