Speed hump and speed reduction
It is a **raised area** on the carriageway, designed so that the driver **reduces speed**.
The **small white triangles painted** on the hump serve to **give advance warning** of its presence.
The **DGT** calls it a **“speed hump”**, and its main function is to **calm traffic** and **increase safety**, by forcing vehicles to travel more slowly at that point.
