The best way to learn is from experience.
Unless you are totally deranged, you only hit a speed ramp once in your life at high speed.
I tried it once, never again.
Speed ramps work.
No need for suspension problems, or injuries if you take them slowly enough.
Emergency vehicles same as cars, still have to stop and wait for the gate arms to rise.
At least when a gate arm is down, a temporary speed ramp would slow traffic.
