'Reporting uneven road' has been merged into this idea

In road hazards, include an option for "rough road".

There are a number of times when traveling and the road I was on was in terrible condition. It was extremely bumpy, some pot holes, loose gravel, etc. I would have liked a warning regarding these conditions. While there is a pot hole warning option, that does not clearly express the quality of the road in toto. These rough road conditions apply to paved roads as well as dirt roads. In reality, in some places where I have driven the dirt roads were in better condition than the paved roads.

    Roads around Montreal and the province of Quebec have degraded terribly.

    Seria ótimo poder criar um alerta de pavimento em mau estado

    This would be amazing and have not found anything like this. Important for RV-ers! Maybe a report to local government to 'shame' them into fixing things.

    Hi, I have an idea for uneven road surface being one of the hazards as I drive along a lot of roads with bumpy or dangerous tarmac

  • Thomas Clarke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Road surfaces that have pavement that is broken up are a major problem in areas with extreme weather conditions. These pose a danger to vehicle struts, suspensions, and tires, and can cause vehicle to swerve involuntarily. A warning, akin to the pothole warning symbol, needs to be added.

  • Thomas Clarke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Pothole symbol is great for specific problem. However, in some areas road surface is broken up, which poses a threat to struts, suspensions, and tires, and can cause vehicle to swerve left or right. Need a separate icon for pavement that is broken up.

    Consider this function based on G-sensors reading (i.e. no manual user reports will be needed). The quality of the road would be calculated over a rolling average of automatic reports (to eliminate 'false alarms' caused by users handling their phones).

    I would like to propose that Wazers could evaluate the pavement conditions of the road their passing on (if they wish to) enabling others to know how's the pavement and deciding routs by that.

    This could function like a 5 star system followed by the description of the condition, like:
    5 - excelent (well marked lanes and signaled);
    4 - good (signaled, lanes fading;
    3 - ok - (signaled, some lanes need to be repainted, some holes);
    2 - bad shape (no signs, lanes need to be repainted, pavement in bad condition;
    1 - Drive with caution! No pavement, holes, no marks, no signs.
    (This was an example, because it could be possible to choose, beside the number of stars, also between the option of problems associated with it that we find more suitable).

    We need to be able to report uneven roads, ones with excessive dips that could cause damage to vehicles etc.
