I've seen these in the US also, but I never knew what they were

when a car drives over them, as they don't slow you down in any
appreciable way like a speed bump/hump.
We already have a tag for "a traffic calming device that makes noise
when a car drives over it", which is a rumble strip
(see: traffic_calming=rumble_strip). Note, I am talking about the
kind that go all the way across the road, and not the kind in the
shoulder of the road that make noise when you veer out of your lane.
I usually think of rumble strips as grooves in the road, but it
strikes me that these micro-speed-bump things are essentially the same
thing -- they make noise when a car goes over it to alert the driver
of something.
I'm uncomfortable with hillock/hillocky as a value. Cursory searches
seem to indicate that this isn't a term in use, in any flavor of English.
Rumble strips I am familiar with. They not only cause a noise but a
vibration too, felt by the people inside the vehicle but not a large
vehicle deflection.
Are the simply a new kind of rumble strip? So
traffic_calming=rumble_strip, rumble_strip:structure=circle,
rumble_strip:orientation=transverse
Alternatively perhaps a better name would be rumble circles?

or
traffic_calming=mini_bumps ?
when they come up with something smaller that could still be
micro_bumps ;-)
