What is another word for sleeping policemen?
Pronunciation: [slˈiːpɪŋ pəlˈiːsmɛn] (IPA) 
Sleeping policemen, also known as speed bumps or traffic calming measures, are designed to slow down traffic on residential and urban roads. These bumps are raised platforms across the road, which can be difficult to drive across at high speeds, forcing drivers to slow down. In addition to speed bumps, there are various other types of traffic calming measures available, such as chicanes, raised crossings, and mini roundabouts. These different measures aim to reduce the risk of accidents and improve safety for pedestrians and motorists. While "sleeping policemen" is the most prevalent term used in the United Kingdom, other countries use different synonyms to describe the same feature.
