BDifficulty 1/5

In a road’s profile, what is a depression or sunken section called, as opposed to a raised hump?

Correct answer

Dip

A dip, corresponding to badén in the sense of a depression in the road surface. A hump rises above it. The colloquial use of badén for a raised speed reducer should not be confused with this profile distinction. Not every depression is an artificial speed-reducing obstacle.
