Moving Speedbumps

They Match your speed for much bigger bump

Moving speed bumps track towards the vehicle at the same speed the vehicle is moving toward the bump, below a minimum threshold they will remain stationary, that way people who rush through will get an exponentially harder impact with the bump than those that follow the rules.

       And how does this avoid hitting vehicles parked on the side of the road?

       Never seen a speed bump in the road, only ever seen them in parking lots in the driving lanes where there are no parked cars.

       I see 'em in residential zones all the time.

       OK then you make them narrow enough that they don't hit the parked cars.

       This could be very handy to stop people from parking illegally! Shake em up! Or for 21 Quests minimum speed.. bump coming up on 6 o' clock!   

       How would this work?
