Okay, eating delicious ice cream is a good thing.
But have you ever seen the “shorter route found” notification on Waze after a day at the beach?

Launched in 2010, Waze quickly established itself as an essential app for road users, especially after its acquisition in 2013 by Google. Many functions appeared that significantly improved the life of motorists. Fuel prices, speed camera reports, tolls or even transfers, and real-time traffic information—almost all road pitfalls can be avoided with the app. And all this is 100% free, without subscription and without paid options. It’s no wonder that over 140 million people are now using it worldwide, and the community has been growing steadily for over a decade.

Safer roads
Over time, many functions appeared. Some are useful, like charging station alarms, which have been temporary this summer, others are more fun, like voice guidance from Provençal or northern accents. But now another update should prove to be even more important. It was announced recently and just launched in Israel, where the app was created. This feature, which is currently in beta testing, is called “Black Sport Alert”. But what can it be used for? As you can imagine, this has nothing to do with sports, but rather sports security.

Community based
Indeed, this new function is only responsible for signalingthe most dangerous sections of the road. For this, the program relies on user reports. If a significant number of accidents are reported, the road will be identified as risky and users will be notified. This will encourage them to slow down and be more careful when driving. Now it remains to be seen whether he will arrive here in France.
All summer long, Waze will be teaching you the little things that save… the oceans! 🌊
