I've seen these in the US also, but I never knew what they were called.  I
understand that the purpose of them is simply to make noise 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.
