This is double marking, the end of the roadsegment of a table is by 
nature always a "bump".
But the real bump for traffic_calming is in fact something else
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:traffic_calming%3Dbump
So, traffic_calming=bump is not realy applicable here.

It could be translated as lap

Did you try to contact the user that inserted the tagr?
If it is something personal,  it should be deleted.

I would propose to add on these relation for  node networks something like
numbered_nodes=yes
or simply
nodes=yes
