I haven't seen humps that have crossings on them, but I have seen tables (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has an annoyingly large number of tables at pedestrian crossings, in a couple situations actually damming intersections from draining in the rain...oops!). The difference is subtle but significant. Bumps are typically the small, sharp things you find in parking lots; humps being the big cousin to those you find as a misguided substitute for cushions or chicanes; cushions are humps with gaps for bicycles and fire trucks to fit through unimpeded; and tables are humps with flat tops, usually curb-height and just long enough to sit level on in most full size cars.
