If you are a commuter, then you are most definitely aware of the worsening traffic that is trying its best to be a part of our daily routines; traffic here and there, accidents, and a lot more stuff that hinders the smooth flow of traffic. Developers have made an app that can ultimately help you with the problem we are facing. Whether you are traveling by car or if you are commuting, the accuracy of this app can leave you breathless. I know that a lot of you are questioning it – can an app really provide that relevant information?
If you have been living in a rock for ages, then let me introduce to you Waze; Waze is considered to be the largest community-based traffic and navigation app that helps drivers and travelers outsmart the traffic, together. It was founded in 2007 and by Amir Shinar, Ehud Shabtai, and Uri Levine.
The app technically shows you where you are in the road and the areas you are going to get into. It will indicate if a certain path has heavy traffic and it will show you alternatives as to what path you may take in order to reach your destination in a shorter span of time.
When you first sign up for Waze, you can initially enter your home and work addresses so you can just click it whenever you are leaving for work, Waze will then inform you which way leads to less time. You can register locations so that you won’t have to search for them over and over again.
As mentioned earlier, it is a community app which means you can interact with other people who use the app as well. As a user, you will get points if you contribute road information and getting points mean that your standing in the community rises.
