Updates
Unfortunately, Mr Ross, you are incorrect. The DfT quote:
Pedestrian and Cycle Crossings Road humps may be used at pedestrian and cycle crossing places. These include uncontrolled crossings, Pelican Crossings, Zebra Crossings, Toucan Crossings and Puffin Crossings. Where there are controlled areas, indicated by zig-zag lines, a road hump constructed at the crossing place may extend into that area. This will enable, for example, a 6m plateau length to be constructed to assist buses, though still maintaining a normal 2.5m to 3m crossing width. However, a road hump of whatever type must not be installed in a position where it is wholly contained within the area bounded by the zig-zag lines (controlled area). Only flat top kerb to kerb road humps should be used at a crossing place.
