Yandex Maps will help users avoid bad roads

At the service “Yandex Maps” appeared new option “avoid bad and dirt roads”. The application also learned to warn about speed bumps, railroad crossings and ferry crossings.

If you select the “avoid bad and dirt roads” option, the service will build a route only on paved roads. Since May 2018, users can report bad road conditions on the “people’s” map in the service. The company believes that the innovation will help drivers choose the best road and take care of the car. Also, Yandex notes that sometimes it is impossible to build a route without bad and unpaved roads.

If the speed of the car exceeds 40 km / h, then Yandex Maps will warn drivers about speed bumps ahead. There are also special signs on the route, warning about railway crossings and ferry crossings. When approaching speed bumps and railway crossings, the application will warn about them with voice prompts.
