Ability to add traffic events via online map

Post by sparkfart
It would be usefull to be able to add events to the map online, as opposed to via a mobile ap. For example, if I hear about a TA (traffic accident) with fatalities on my police scanner, I should be able to add this to the traffic map. Only trusted users should have this ability (based on points?).

A manual report would not affect automatic re-routing, so the manual traffic reports are mostly informational. If a Wazer is stuck in a jam, adding a manual report will speed up the jam detection and marking of the street as in a slowdown (speed markers) which will then affect traffic avoidance. But just adding a "traffic jam" on that road will not affect routing.

This is already possible in some European countries. Still in the pilot phase though...

Would be nice to report directly on the client. Sometimes I see another road completely stopped but I cannot report it since its not in my route.
