Round here, they seem to be gradually removing the "sleeping policemen" they threw down everywhere in the late 80s and early 90s*, and, where traffic calming measures are geniunely need (ie not in most of the roads), they are replacing them with the "cushion" types Chi mentions.

*As a side note, I heard rumours that they were even going to introduce sleeping policemen up my road. Seeing as my road has a grand total of about 10 houses, takes 30 seconds to walk from one end to the other, and is a cul de sac, I would actually be impressed by any car with the sheer acceleration needed to speed up it.
