Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture technical architecture
From an architect report about the condition of a paved pathway.
"EL PAVMIENTO DEL MENCIONADO CAMINO PRESENTA CEJAS Y RESALTES"
I assume this means it is an uneven surface, but is there a standard term for this?
Any comments are appreciated.

dips and rises,

my suggestion

Average: Pavement texture may cause minimum tire noise; isolated cases (up to 1/4 of the section ) of bumps and dips; operating speed can be maintained safely.

Slightly Rough: 1/4 to 1/2 of the section is uneven and bumpy with dips, rises, and ruts; pavement may be broken and cracked with a resulting increase in tire noise; slight difficulty in maintaining operating speed over section.
