Speed Bumps
I will suggest the inclusion of speed reducers commonly used in Brazil, called "lombadas" or "quebra-molas" (speed bumps). These elements are rarely well signposted.
Are a ridge set in a road surface, for purposes to make drivers to reduce speed.
We plan to work on adding an alert for Speed Bumps in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

That's exactly what is missing in Waze. It's not rare when Waze calculates a route that ends up being worse than the predicted due to the pot holes and speed bumps spread over the chosen path. And as most phones have a lot of sensors (gyroscopes, acceleratometers, etc), why not using them?

Speed bumps in general would be a great idea.
I would love a "avoid speed bumps" option next to "Avoid Toll Roads" and "Avoid motorways" -

Muito necessário!! Já estou até enviando os "quebra-molas" para o mapa.

I think it would be useful in SOME situations where there are very large speed bumps on public roads that affect a lot of traffic and are difficult to see, especially when it is dark outside. It would be overkill to map every speed bump, especially in parking lots.

(1) Identify parking lots with speedbumps and (2) identify dips. This can be an option that can be turned on/off; obviously most users won't need this but those of us who have chosen to sacrifice comfort, it would help. The technology is there, just waiting for someone to make a move and make it happen.

Nas opções de avisar sobre perigos, em que há, atropelamento, veiúculo parado na via e etc, vcs poderiam incluir informar área de risco

Metal plates on the road create a stopping hazard and significant bump in the road.

Prezados Senhores,
Da mesma forma como o aplicativo reporta de forma fixa radares de velocidade, sugiro que os senhores empenhe esforços para reportar os quebra-molas (Lombadas), que a legislação de trânsito brasileira permite que sejam instaladas em ruas e rodovias.
Ressalto que estes obstáculos são causadores de inúmeras colisões entre veículos nas estradas brasileiras, pois, em regra, possuem sinalização precária e tamanhos diversos.Estes obstáculos também geram acidentes graves e inúmeras avarias no sistema de suspensão dos veículos, quando os condutores são surpreendidos com estas lombadas de concreto no percurso.

Muito importante o aviso da existência de lombadas ou Saliências, uma vez que a maioria não possui sinalização adequada. Fato que pode até mesmo causar acidentes ou sérios danos ao veículo.

failure indication bumps or ditches in the streets, that depending on the speeds may occur accident

I think this is a great idea and with the significant increase in both speed bumps and potholes in the UK having the ability to avoid these in route options will add significantly to Waze. infact Waze could add the ability to capture the position and size of both speed bumps and potholes.

while the waze does not react on the problem, we have developed this app for Android - link for the app in store bit.ly/1RCLM3P

I want that the navigator can sign me about danger zones in the highway like curves, wind zones, heavy climbs and bumps. similar like it does Garmin with POIS or danger events.

A project I've seen started by smaller organisations - be it local councils etc.
This would use the gyro in the devce to log potholes or speed bumps above a certain threshold.
Councils (or Counties) would no doubt love the data to assign repairs; drivers could use this to highlight the condition of the roads, and these could even be flagged as "things to avoid", especially in the case of speed bumps.
A simply function, with the power and network of Waze - this could be amazing!

Measure phone vibration while driving using built in sensors and include road quality into routing alogorithm so it chooses smoother roads when possible (better surface, fewer speed bumps) - user from London

One suggestion : Waze could include in your app indication of spring break . Tb should stop adding those not flagged . In Brazil many speed bumps are asphalt color and without signaling hindering your viewing and avoiding future

Por que no Waze não podemos colocar os quebra-molas das ruas assim como é colocados os radares?

I would appreciate if the deep "dips" or the high "speed bumps" would be notified (this could be optional in the settings) in order not to damage my car when driving at the authorized speed limit.
