That someone took the time to so this, made me smile

Today I plan to be as useless as the “G” in lasagna.

kathyg...I got such a kick out of that. We have this country road that's full of speed bumps...now I know what to call them!!

In some parts of the world, speed bumps are known as "sleeping policemen"

jmm -- I always chuckled at the optimistic British term, "Traffic Calming".

I don't react well to the "sleeping police/men(persons)" concept, as, while they encourage drivers to come closer to following the rules re: speed limits, these things don't hand out tickets.

How about "assistants to body shop staff"?

By the way, I'm pretty sure that I've heard the term "rund fahrt" or similar ... wonder whether it may have referred to one of those "roundabouts" that in some areas are being built to replace stop signs and red and green traffic signal lights?
