Waze Now Routes Motorcycles Around Potholes and Speed Bumps

Waze is adding a motorcycle mode that steers riders around hazards like potholes, speed bumps, and narrow bridges—tailoring routes to two-wheeled traffic. The feature launches in seven countries where motorcycles are common: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines. It combines computer detection with human editors on the ground, suggesting that safety-critical road data still needs real-world verification.
