That is what the proposal says. But there is no way a bicycle could pass between 
those seen on the proposal page at anything near normal bicycling speed.

If you want to allow bicycle

In Denmark we have a larger version of round speed bumps. Usually only 2 or three in 
each direction.

They are named "pukkelbump" which translates as hump bumps.

More informally they are called turtle bumps.

So maybe we should call them hedgehog bumps and turtle bumps.
