I haven't seen humps that have crossings on them, but I have seen tables
(Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has an annoyingly large number of tables at
pedestrian crossings, in a couple situations actually damming intersections
from draining in the rain...oops!).  The difference is subtle but
significant.  Bumps are typically the small, sharp things you find in
parking lots; humps being the big cousin to those you find as a misguided
substitute for cushions or chicanes; cushions are humps with gaps for
bicycles and fire trucks to fit through unimpeded; and tables are humps
with flat tops, usually curb-height and just long enough to sit level on in
most full size cars.
