[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Tag:traffic_calming=hillocky

[Peter Neale]

I agree. To be called a "pillow", it would have to be soft and not rigid.  IIRC there are traffic calming "pillows" that are filled with air and deflate, if you drive over them slowly, but remain inflated, if you drive over at speed.  I regret that I cannot find a reference to them at the moment.
That is not what these seem to be.
"Deceleration Dots" / "Traffic Calming Dots" ??? 
Having said all that, someone seems to think that "speed cushions" can be made of concrete, despite "cushions" in normal GB English being just as soft as "pillows"  (Cushions on the sofa; pillows on the bed)
