large frost heaves that occur at consistent locations every year. A few
roads in my region like VT-17 and NY-8 have poor roadbeds and get
damaged by frost heaves the first winter after repaving. These roads
often have several hundred yards of nice smooth and fresh pavement, then
2"-8" frost heaves with cracks that reappear in the same places year
after year.

<p>This has been previously mentioned in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C2VJAJCS0/p1584560161247300" target="_blank">an OSMUS Slack thread</a> in regard to <code>smoothness=*</code>, but tagging particularly bad (and often permanent) heaves may be preferable as other sections of the roadway may be smooth and freshly paved.
</p><p>Signage on these tends to be inconsistent, often using phrasing
like "BUMP", "CAUTION: FROST HEAVE", "FROST HEAVE AHEAD", or other
similar phrases. In some locations the signs are permanently mounted,
while other locations get folding signage. As these are point features
with varying placement of signage, I would suggest mapping them as nodes
on a roadway at the heave position with something like <code>hazard=frost_heave</code>. Alternatively, <code>hazard=bump</code> may be applicable to other situations worldwide for dangerous bumps caused by something other than freeze/thaw cycles.<br></p><p>Best,<br>Adam<br></p></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 8:27 AM Brian M.
