New Zealand's colourful term for a speed bump — those raised ridges on roads designed to slow traffic down. The name is delightfully literal: drive over one too fast and your whole car will judder. Kiwis use it in everyday conversation the way Australians say 'speed hump' and Americans say 'speed bump.' It also pops up in Australian usage occasionally. If you're road-tripping through NZ and see a sign warning of judder bars ahead, ease off the accelerator.
(British, and, Caribbean, idiomatic) A speed bump.
