That’s it, sunny days are finally back and summer is definitely set. Which, therefore, is synonymous with the inevitable vacation for schoolchildren, students and high school students, as well as for their parents. But whoever talks about a great season also talks about the return of the Tour de France. Every year, the event brings July to life for several weeks, and the edition kicked off last weekend. He will cross the entire territory, or almost come next July 23 on the Champs-Élysées, as every year. Which again attracts crowds to the roadsides in search of various goodies. The big party that Waze has joined.
Okay, eating delicious ice cream is a good thing.

Thus, he is, in particular, responsible for report road closures for the competition to reduce its impact on traffic. But that’s not all, because the app also indicates a lot of other information regarding parking spaces or the location of the finish of each stage. But another feature has just been launched that cycling fans will love.
