Look:

Ayer entró en vigor una norma del Ministerio de Fomento que regula los badenes (guardias tumbados),

Different words are used in different countries. Some of them are

badén
guardia
tumbado
tope
policía acostado
lomo de burro

Note that these words have other meanings, and in Ecuador badén means dip and tumbado means ceiling.

Heidita, they are lumps of concrete on the street / road to force all traffic to slow down. Used at airports or in car parks, or areas with schools / children etc. - Aodhan, Nov 24, 2010
