"With 34 million commuters around the globe, Waze users are by far the largest community of connected drivers. Every day, they use their smartphones’ satellite signals to generate and map traffic data.

You do so by tapping an icon for, say, “traffic,” “accident,” “police,” or “other”; the last one works well for construction snags or mega-pothole sightings."
