The primary legislation is contained in sections 90A to 90F of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended by the Transport Act 1981). The Act (sections 90A and 90B) makes it clear that road humps can only be constructed on roads with speed limits of 30 mph or less. It seems then the legislation was introduced no earlier than 1981.
