Get alerts on roads with a history of crashes

Using reports from drivers and your route, Waze may show you alerts for areas with a history of crashes. Alerts are dynamic and consider current traffic and road conditions, days of the week, time of day and latest history of crash reports. 

You get alerts only when and where it matters most, for example:

• Alerts may not appear for roads that you drive on frequently
• If your route has multiple roads with a history of crashes, Waze only alerts you of the most critical ones
• One alert may appear for multiple affected roads in the same area

Notes:

• Crash history is based on user reports - if a crash wasn’t reported by users, Waze may not know about it
• If an alert is not displayed, it does not necessarily mean a road does not have a history of crashes
• Alerts do not differentiate between major and minor crashes
