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.
Hey,
We're happy to share that this idea is already live!
Thanks!

They could kill two birds with one stone by introducing a new Road Dip alert and grouping Road Dip, Speed Bump, and Raised Crosswalk the same way speed cameras are grouped today, by subtype.

Já venho sugerindo isso nas postagens para o Staff.
No WME poderia conter, como tipo, em layout similar ao "radar"
Lombada
Depressão
Faixa de pedestres ElevadaE marcar um opção como "sequencial", para forçar o alerta mesmo quando as lombadas estão em distância inferior ao delimitado para o "agrupamento" do alerta. A opção como "lombada destrutiva" soa mais para uma lombada grande, que causa danos ao veículo. Poderia ser revisto isto também.

With the implementation of the permanent "Raised Crosswalk" alert, we now have two options in the menu that are equivalent to Speed Bumps: the speed bump itself and the Raised Crosswalk. Both alerts are associated with speed reduction. I suggest creating a "Speed Reducer" option (or something similar) in the permanent alerts menu.
What would this menu be? When adding this alert (Speed Reducer), clicking on it would require selecting what type of speed reducer it is. By default, when adding, it would already be marked as Speed Bump, but we would have these 3 options available: Speed Bump, Raised Crosswalk, and Dip. This way, you wouldn't have to delete the speed bump alert in the future to add the raised crosswalk alert in the same place, since a large part of the speed bumps added in urban areas are actually raised crosswalks.

Provide the ability to report speed bumps. In remote areas of foreign countries like Sri Lanka, there’s lack of signage or light visibility. People could accidentally speed through and cause fatalities. Please implement a Speed Bump option reporting under hazard or another category. Thanks.

Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding an option for users to report speed bumps within the hazard reporting feature.
In many areas, speed bumps are not clearly marked or are placed unexpectedly, which can lead to sudden braking and potential safety risks, especially for drivers who are unfamiliar with the route.
By allowing users to flag speed bumps, Waze could help improve driver awareness, reduce unexpected slowdowns, and contribute to a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

Be able to do this globally. In Sydney Australia, councils are added new ones daily.

Can you design an icon for speed humps. Very dangerous if the speed hump is not properly marked. Especially in South Africa

It will be good to report speed humps like potholes… please please help us. It will also help too avoid accidents. People driving to fast and the humps is not properly maintained or marked. Regards

Marked pedestrian crosswalks are among the highest-risk points where vehicles and pedestrians interact, especially at night, during poor weather, or in areas with weak lighting.
Introducing a Crosswalk Alert — a small on-screen icon with an optional short voice cue such as “Pedestrian crossing ahead” — would provide drivers with earlier situational awareness without affecting routing. Activated only on verified crosswalks, this alert would function similarly to existing permanent notifications such as speed bump warnings, hazard alerts, camera notifications, and other fixed safety cues.
Such an alert would reduce reaction-time delays, improve driver readiness in limited-visibility areas, and help prevent common collision scenarios at pedestrian crossings. Overall, this represents a low-complexity yet high-impact enhancement that directly strengthens Waze’s hazard-prevention capabilities and improves safety for all road users.

It was an excellent inclusion in the app.
And I want to point out, when we activate the app we only want to worry about reaching the destination, so it is essential that the app fulfills its objective. Alert anything that is not normal.
That said, I would like it to be rethought in the speed bump alert algorithm.
Consider that just because we go through a path daily, it is not necessary to repeat the alerts.
As I said, my goal is for the app to alert me to all the things in the way, and speed bumps, such as speed cameras and potholes, are part of that.
In conclusion, for me, the algorithm does not meet this objective. -

When will this feature will be active in belgium?
This feature would be live but to this day there is NO such feature available in Waze in Belgium! -

muchas veces no se ven y provocan accidentes...

buenos días en Costa Rica hay muchos REDUCTORES DE VELOCIAD , sin pintar por lo que se hace necesario agregar la información como marcarlos en la vía y también quitarlos si ya no están gracias

Apparently this is in selected regions as not all users have the privilege of having this option(s).
Would it nice if ALL users had this feature, NOT JUST BRAZIL?
In my city the city engineer is playing politics and has added speed reducers on many roads where the speed limit is 35mph AND they restricted the lanes from two to one lane making travel difficult any many literally slow down to 15 mph to go over these things when they are meant for 35 mph(this is in Cincinnati).WAZE needs to do the following for all users:
1. Report Speed Bumps option( this can be simple to do to get an idea where they are).
2. Show as alert speed bump optionsHopefully someone at Waze starts doing this for everyone.

@Alexroc this feature live (see above, Status = Now Available). Reach out to your country leads to find out more about the local policies.

Please, what about status of this essencial update ? A lot of accidents would be avoided and lifes saved!!!!!!!!!

It's overwhelming, one should be able to disable bumps alert on home traffic.

Not all waze is working, in my app it is not working. Is there any additional configuration to do? How can I have it working?

Currently the client only displays the first speed bump in an area on your route, with a warning 'speed bumps ahead'
Please display all speed bumps/ permanent hazards as visual icons on the route whilst keeping the initial vocal warning.
