road humps
Pavement speed reducers
Road humps are raised sections of pavement designed to slow vehicle traffic, typically found in residential areas or parking lots.
The term is more common in British English; Americans usually say speed bumps.
Road humps are generally wider and more gradual than speed bumps, allowing cars to pass at low speeds without jarring impact.
