rumble strip
Pavement warning texture
A rumble strip is a series of grooves or raised ridges along a road's edge or centerline that create noise and vibration when driven over, alerting drivers who drift out of their lane.
Also called a sleeper line.
The rumble strip jolted me awake on the highway.
