Community achievements
Over 400K traffic lights mapped!
We just launched traffic lights in Waze and the community has already mapped over 400K worldwide! Traffic light icons add visual and audio guidance for our drivers. Thanks for making them available in your neighborhoods and cities!
Storm response in Portugal and Spain
Waze communities in Portugal and Spain showed dedication during Storm Marta. Huge Kudos to Domingues3D, a Portuguese First Responder who immediately added emergency closures and partner requests while monitoring the storm. We’re so grateful for your efforts and proud it made local news!
US editors protect drivers from Storm Fern
The US Community truly stepped up during Storm Fern. In collaboration with Waze Partners and the Crisis Team, they added shelters and road closures, impacting drivers in 20 states. A huge thank you to our first responders for keeping Wazers safe during the storm.
