They build topes to slow you down so you don't kill their chickens, children, and grandparents. You don't like that?
It's a rare tope which can't be taken at fair speed on a bike if you weight the pegs (thus unweight the seat). The ones with the broad, flat tops and steep sides can definitely pose problems for the attention-impaired. The home-made ones are seldom difficult. I much prefer topes to the alternative: deep trenches perpendicular to the road.
In a car, truck or bus: pure torture.
