Its pretty simple.
Speed bumps are there because there are too many speeders in a residential neighbor hood. Those are the people that typically ignore speed limits and are in a hurry to get to the grave first or worse case hit a kid and then there's a real price to pay.
As an outsider and tourist I am amazed on how many locals are in a hurry to get no where fast especially the macho truck drivers that would just as soon drive you off the road on a narrow street.
Living on the Big Island means you shouldn't be going over 25mph or so in a residential neighbor hood or over 55mph on a long flat road (learn to slow down and enjoy life).
BTW honking your horn (making loud noises) for no reason in many towns and districts is not lawful either.
