Waze-o-Meter

The Waze-o-Meter gives a quick visual snapshot of the traffic in your area. Click any of the color bars to highlight affected sections on the Live map.

The color coding of the Waze-o-Meter mirrors what's displayed on the Waze app.

• Green: Cars able to move at the speed limit
• Yellow: Light traffic, but drivers can still travel at relative speeds
• Light red: Moderate traffic, noticeable congestion
• Red: Heavy traffic, expect significant delays
• Dark red: Bumper-to-bumper traffic at a near standstill

Click a color to see the affected sections highlighted on a map. Click again to deselect.

To adjust the area covered by the Waze-o-meter, get in touch with your Waze contact.

Unusual Traffic feed

The Unusual Traffic feed automatically alerts partners to places where drive times are much longer than expected and provides a link to the best alternate route when available. Road closures caused by Major Traffic Events like big construction, or local events are also listed in the feed.

The Watchlist allows you to save routes that you track frequently.
