Launched in 2006, Waze has become the go-to navigation app for millions of people who use it for their journeys. It provides real-time information on traffic conditions, accidents, roadworks and, above all, the location of police checks and speed cameras. It regularly adds new options that make everyday life easier for 20 million French motorists and 140 million people worldwide.
Waze's success has led to users expecting new features. Last March, an update was deployed in Beta version (now available to the general public on iOS and Android for a few weeks) with a highly anticipated option: the ability to receive alerts for speed bumps.
These “bumps” on the roads are multiplying in France to moderate speed, but they are poorly received by motorists where their frequency can reach one every 200 meters. If their purpose is to slow down traffic for safety reasons, their presence can be uncomfortable in certain cases.

Waze's new feature won't remove – obviously not these speed bumps but it allows drivers to be informed of their presence before arriving there. If they are indicated by signs most of the time, it is easy to miss them and you can quickly find yourself braking suddenly or driving over these obstacles without reducing your speed and damaging your car.< /p>
Currently, not all speed bumps are yet listed on the Waze map but the editors of the application are working on their gradual addition (and users can report them on the application). Users can already see a small yellow diamond on their screen which indicates the presence of a speed bump (see screenshot above).
