A removable and portable speed bump system using a flexible connector such as a chain or cable lying transversely across the roadway, and a number of generally triangular, or arch-shaped, spaced-apart bump modules disposed on the speed bump for which cars must slow down to cross. The speed bump modules are either fastened to the flexible connector or molded directly onto the flexible connector. The flexible connector is attached to a connecting anchor fixed into the road curb or road shoulder of a roadway. The opposite end of the flexible connector is fastened to a clasp or spring-loaded link set at a second point transversely across the roadway from the connecting anchor. The speed bump modules are configured to enable stacking in a compact fashion, for example, in a special container located on the side of the roadway.
