WAZE users out there?

^ bakit nga kasi may report for police/speed cam si waze.

Mukhang dun pa lang red flag na nga.

Even criminal elements can gain from this kind of reports.

I guess the original intent of the function was to serve as an alternative speed radar detector.
But waze is able to give more info. Hindi lang speed traps. Pati mga officers on standby, mga patrols, etc. Worse, the info is made available publicly, and can be viewed not only from smart phone but on your big screen desktop browser (world.waze.com).

YOu can theoretically have a view of the entire city complete with place markers for police checkpoints, speed traps, etc.

IMO, WAZE judges traffic volume using a combination of two methods:
- Average speed of WAZE users passing through the road.
- Traffic report from WAZE users

Minsan magkakaroon ng freak but temporary traffic (e.g. dump truck na nagpupumilit mag u-turn). Wazers in the area will immediately report "STANDSTILL". Pero once the traffic clears up, it takes a while before WAZE clears the status.

Also, there are other factors such as your data connection that affect the traffic info. Minsan nasa mamalasin ka na wala or mahina ang data signal sa area. The info that you'll "see" in the area is "traffic". Pero panis na pala yung data na yon, kaya lang hindi pa ma refresh dahil pangit ang connection. Tapos pag okay na, boom, biglang mawawala yung dark red/light red status doon sa kalye.

Nahuli ako ng traffic enforcer because of Waze.... Pinakaliwa ako sa bawal kumaliwa kasi may ginagawang daan sa unahan. Buti mabait enforcer warning lang binigay sa akin.
When I went to Baguio super ok si waze sa mga eskinita ako pinapadaan para lang maiwasan trapik sa session road.

Pero minsan, impressive din yung bilis ng WAZE mag adjust sa changes sa kalsada.
Nung sinara ng MMDA yung mga UTURN slots sa C5, tapos ni-restore yung intersections sa Lanuza at Green Meadows, nag reflect kaagad siya sa WAZE.
