These elevated "bumps" in the road are designed to slow down drivers in busy streets or in streets surrounding schools. They prevent speeding by forcing the car to slow down. Failing to slow down for a speed bump will cause damage to the car (but will prevent an innocent child from being run down by an inconsiderate motorist).
Sometimes these bumps are a long strip of smaller bumps grouped together. These ones are usually placed on motorways and carriageways, particularly in Europe. they are designed to catch the driver by surprise to make sure they are paying attention to the road, instead of slowing them down.
