Everywhere in Switzerland there are speed bumps. When we first moved here, I could not believe the number. The bumps are often longer from bump to bump too. You go up one side and travel for several yards before you come down the other side. Others are in the center of the street and they cause the car to go up at a weird tilt. Now, I may not like the speed bumps, but I do like what they are called here: gendarme couché! This translates into, Sleeping Policeman. That is just what they are too. I love this cute French phrase....so much better that "Speed Bump" wouldn't you say?
