21 mins confidence:   rompe velocidades
Explanation:
Unless you are looking for slang, the term should be absolutely accurate.
Example sentence(s):- Hay siete rompe velocidades en mi ruta diaria.
- There are seven speed bumps on my daily route.

Asker: Hi DM,
"absolutely" is too absolute... Honduran speed bumps is what I was looking for among the many translations for this term in different Latin-American "dialects"... thnx

25 mins confidence: túmulo (Honduras)
Explanation:
One of the suggestions for Honduras, but they are very likely quite a few others.
http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/116258/come-se-dice-speed...
In Mexico, "topes." They are lethal and often poorly marked.
We call them in Spain: guardias tumbados

Spanish: reductor de velocidad m (especially formal usage), resalto m (especially formal usage), badén m (Spain), banda sonora f (Spain), chapa acostado m (Ecuador), durmiente (Nicaragua), giba f (Peru), guardia tumbado m (Spain), lomada f (Argentina, Paraguay), lomo de burro m (Argentina, Uruguay), lomo de toro m (Chile), muerto m (Costa Rica, Puerto Rico), muro m (Venezuela), policía acostado m (Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Venezuela), policía dormido m (Costa Rica), policía muerto m (Panama, Puerto Rico), rompemuelles m (Bolivia, Peru), tope m (Mexico), túmulo m (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras), vibrador m (Mexico)

esalte o resalto es una variación brusca del firme pavimentado, en forma de distintos elementos que se instalan en las vías públicas para obligar a los vehículos a moderar su velocidad. Localmente reciben distintas denominaciones (lomo de burro en Argentina; muerto en Puerto Rico; policía acostado en República Dominicana, Colombia y Venezuela; badén en España; tope en México; lomo de toro en Chile; rompemuelle en Perú y Bolivia; túmulo en Guatemala, etc.)
Generalmente, por el peligro que supone, está avisado previamente por la correspondiente señal de tráfico acompañada de una limitación de velocidad que desaparece con el peligro anunciado. Se suele instalar debido a la necesidad de disminuir la velocidad del tráfico en un concreto sentido de circulación por diversos motivos: zonas peatonales, escuelas o centros de gran afluencia peatonal. Tienen análoga naturaleza que los pasos de peatón elevados.
