As far as I can tell we don't use these in the UK.  If we did, though,
we wouldn't call them "hillocky" but we might call them "hillocks."
Calling them "hillocky" would be like calling other calming
measures "bumpy" and "humpy."  "Hillocky" is an
adjective.

"Hillocks" (plural) would be correct here as a single
traffic-calming object would be composed of several
hillocks.  Correct English grammar, not necessarily
what we'd actually call them if they were introduced
here.  They might end up being called molehills or
mounds.  Hillock implies something larger than these
are.
