Road humps ahead for half a mile

Road humps ahead for half a mile sign

What it means

"Humps for half a mile" sits under the hump warning triangle and tells you how far they run - so this is not one bump, it is a whole stretch of them. Common through a calmed residential area. Pick a steady low speed and stay there, rather than accelerating and braking between every single hump.
