Well round here they slow down the wider vehicles (eg ambulances!) but the Pizza Hut delivery chavs drive down the middle of them at well over our 20 mph speed limit. We're also a one way road, not that they pay attention to that either.
I thought that patients had to be stabilised before they could be moved, then they wouldn't need any drastic procedures done on the way to hospital. In that case the speed bumps shouldn't make that much diffference? You couldn't speed down our road if you wanted to - it's a very narrow road and you have to be pretty careful!
Not that I like them in any case - although given my job I think I'm supposed to.
