In the UK there are warning signs for some humpback bridges, and with 
good reason - if you don't slow down substantially from the ambient 
speed you will be launched into orbit. Therefore they should be useful 
for routers, implying a lower speed on that part of the road.

Some are so "humpy" that a vehicle with a long gap between the axles 
and/or a low ground clearance (e.g. a low-loader) may actually be unable 
to cross the bridge.

So I don't think it is right to say that bridge=humpback cannot be of 
value for routing or end users...
