Bump or Hump?

I learned to call them speed bumps. They're usually a raised rumble strip.


Then I read the signs at WalMart's Neighborhood Mart:


Of course, I noticed the sign before, but I never read it.  I assumed it said "Speed Bump."

I checked the other sign just to be sure no one was whiting out parts of the "B."

So, what do you call them?


 P.S.  If they put these up, I'd notice them for sure:

Because they remind me of Mickey Mouse.

Speed bumps. Rumble strips are the raised, reflective demarcations between lanes of a highway. At least that was what I was taught.

I never take anything I read on signs at walmart as common knowledge or as being correct information.
