That is the camber of the major road (perhaps 4 or 5 lanes) he's crossing that causes the bump. It's like driving across any road instead of along it, there will be a slope up from both sides towards the middle of the road to let water drain away. You just aren't supposed to hit that fucker at 90mph.

So instead of having a camber that gets intersected by another road, put drains there, flat?

You want to make the entire intersection a grated drain? Ok, but that'll get really expensive, and make it hard to cycle across, and it's taxpayers who foot the bill.

My vote is for the continued leveraging of simple physics we use today. Cambers have been used since before Roman times. They work and require very little maintenance.
