Pattern on a curved surface.

I would like to repeat the "speed bump" shape along a curved surface. Is there any way I can do that? When I use linear pattern with only appears to be able to do it along a straight plane.

Ok, not sure why I missed that command. But I'm still not sure how to use it. I select face pattern it will create more instances, but obviously from all the red, not how I intended. Also it only selects the one top face Any of the other pattern selections in Curve Pattern wants to select the whole side face or part. Where all I want to replicate the one curved object.
Is there any way to replicate the arc in sketch 8 before its extruded? Thanks for the assistance and patience.
Face pattern can be very picky. Try a part pattern or feature pattern instead. You may need to try extending the arc beyond the part edges so that as it patterns, the bump continues to enclose the area between the arc and the part.

I think the face pattern is failing because the first bump isn't on the same "face" as the subsequent ones…
I was going to say, probably best to make the bump as a "new" and pattern it as a part, and as Michael says, make the bottom of the bump overlap the main part.
