German term or phrase: Anrampungen
One last bullet point under the heading "Infrastruktur aus einer Hand". Here they are referring to building up the asphalt around things that stick up out of the street (water and gas lines) so that cars can drive over them without causing serious damage. Is there a common term for this?

Thanks for your help, but from what I could find, "superelevation" seems to refer rather to the edges of the road/street.
