So you can access information about their own City using Waze to locate potholes that way the cities can repair their potholes quicker

Use navigation systems on some cars, iphone and android data from accelerometer, gyroscope, photos as well as video to rate road conditions smooth, ruff, potholes, and good ratings.

Allow accurate reporting of potholes in PA. No more cover up of the true conditions by stifling Wazer reports.

This is a really good idea, as I just thought that it would be useful to report the exact location of road surface problems, eg. Potholes.

It will work when phone is placed on a phone holder, after little calibration (different cars have different suspensions). The result should be a heatmap - places where wazers hits potholes more frequently can be marked, and there might be an option to avoid bad roads.

More data - better service.

The same problem here ... Id like to concentrate on REAL hazards. Not to be disturbed by insignificant warnings ...

Require users who report potholes to specify which lane. Could help drivers be more aware of where the pothole is rather than having to scan the entire roadway.

Routes which avoid speed ramps. My car is low to the ground and the speed ramps are painful to my car and morale.

and put the alarm special on the night

Potholes are a reality in every country. Waze needs a pin to mark potholes. Hopefully municipalities can use this data in effort to fix the potholes. In the mean time wazers can avoid affected roads with potholes. Please Waze add a pin for potholes...

Engage with a metro council and trial features where drivers can report potholes, bad road surface and out of order traffic lights. As the users report these, the exact location and sent to the metro council staff to be attended to. The metro can then from their side encourage the citizens of that city to use waze more.

Many cars in the UK are too low to negotiate roads with speed humps without causing damage to the cars. This feature could work much like the 'avoid toll roads' or 'avoid dirt roads' options.

It likely does not make sense to use Potholes on Highways. Attempting to mark something like that, and much less see it when driving is quite unlikely on a busy road going more than 30 miles per hour.

I suspect it is being used for Geocaching or to mark bottlenecks. If so, you can create a Geocaching category, that can be turned on or off in the client, as I have little interest in this.

Not a good idea as it will drain battery faster than it is possible to charge it. Also you should avoid potholes not drive trough them. You can try existing alternative applications and you will see that it doesn't work that good.

To build momentum on the campaign #ZeroPotHole that Malaysian insider launched Tuesday. I suggest to add a direct button for registration of a pothole as per other proposals and as a community service to make the overall pothole statistics available on a monthly basis for everyone on the waze.com, so that everyone can follow as authorities improve on repairing these.

If WAZE can launch this now, then you will enjoy some PR in relation to the Malaysian Insider campaign #ZeroPotHole, where you can report “the global Malaysian" numbers, or probably what comes closest to the overall true reality.

To have these statistics monthly or held evergreen and available online, but would a TRUE WOW for society as a whole. I consider this good CSR for community and as well a good additional surveillance service for government itself.

A WIN-WIN for Malaysia however one choose to look at it.

Adding rough roads to hazards. Not ALL rough roads are potholes.

I think it will generate many false-positive alerts. Is hard to find a support which holds the phone firmly enough.

Where I live (Brazil) the average "lifetime" of a pothole may vary from several days, weeks or even months, depending on where they are, and weather.
But is annoying try to alert other users from potholes: If I do a pothole report in the morning, at evening the report has disappeared, everyday. Then I gave up. The timeout is TOO short.
Would be better if the pothole alerts remain until some user hit "not there", or more users hit "not there" than "thanks".

In urban areas, potholes are ubiquitous. But to hide them (and unclutter my map), I have to hide all road hazards. Boo.

By using the accelerometer Waze could monitor when the car runs over a big pothole and suggest the user a report that only needs confirmation.
