New speed bumps at Blanchardstown centre

The Blanchardstown centre have new speed bumps near the Blue entrance (old bus stop area) at the pedestrian crossing's each side of the traffic light pedestrian crossing from the main centre doors to the Fingal Co. Co. building.

I'm all for pedestrian safety and don't mind extra ramps being fitted in these locations but these speed bumps are car breakers, The first time I drove over them I nearly went through the roof, The second time driving over them even knowing they were severe I went into first gear at walking speed and the car still bounced over them putting a good deal of strain on the car's suspension part's.

I had to stop after the new speed bump today as a pedestrian was crossing and the car behind me came over the new speed bump and nearly rear ended me as gravity forced it down the other side sharply.

I think they need to be skimmed down a little to take the severity out of them or a gradual area each side of the ramp fitted.

Thanks edited now! I also noticed they are putting an electric charge point in for electric cars beside TGI Friday's.
