Yes, but speed bumps and speed humps are different. Also I was assuming I should use the bump where the force would be greatest. maybe I was going too high with 4'' but http://www.innoplast.com/sbs6.html was closer to what I was imagining going over.
Nothing was given other than the thing I am designing should be able to withstand the force of going over a speed bump. I originally had it at 30mph but my number was way higher so I lowered it hoping that would be my problem. I looked up online the higher end dimensions of a speed bump and got...

I know this is way too much.
neglecting the shocks...
