This is sometimes called 'a sleeping policeman' or 'a traffic calming device'.

A sleeping policeman? :lol: I like that! Though it should be a dead policeman by now. The place where I live is so full of them it’s like taking a free (and tedious) ride in a kind of surrealist amusement park. But since I’m always rushing around, they’re also a (any intensifier will do here) pain in the neck (or rather a hump in the back).

Could you please check my grammar? • Phrasal verb "keep on" • Hold in centempt • What is the right response to "Do you mind"? • Expression "you are ancient of days" • Meaning of "Stop, do not pass Go..." • Order accepted? • Some example of "HAVING" • What is a stint? • "know" vs "know about" • Agenda vs. schedule • When do we use the preposition "for" and "from"? • Is this question correct: "What did they used to make?"
