TrafficMaster Hazard Reports [Feedback]

Post by Timbones
Starting from tomorrow, Waze will show live incidents from TrafficMaster as reports in the app with attribution of TrafficMaster.

HQ would love to get the community feedback about it...

PS: If you come across any specific traffic reports by "TM" which are out of place or out of date, please post them to this other thread. Be sure to include a link to the Livemap location, and any other useful data you can provide. This will be fed back to TrafficMaster so that they can improve their service.

I've not yet seen any of these on the client, nor any actual road closures put in by TM.

Edit: I have found an accident that closed a road, but it was not closed in Waze. I'll talk to HQ about that.

I haven't experienced many TM reports but think Iain's comments are very important for hq to understand

Is there an issue with TM in London? For past weeks if not months I have absolutely no traffic information when travelling between Camberwell (south London) to when I'm nearly at the M25, either going down A13 or A2. I cannot add any comment about bad traffic (no 6 points) and no TM icons appear on screen. Once I'm close to M25 suddenly everything kicks in as well as announcements about delays unfortunately. I know it's not a signal issue as my iPhone 6 plus has nearly full 4G signal for the vast majority of the journey. I've also tried reinstalling the app a number of times. Cheers

Need a wee Caveat on this one...

*Not available in Northern Ireland.

even though they, incorrectly, state on their website 'The network covers 100% of UK Motorways and 95% of Trunk Roads.'

Maybe we should push for all that data from Android smartphones instead...

Agreed. It would be relatively easy to validate the reports by having a short delay during when you check that no users are currently driving on that segment before implementing a Waze closure.

We're referring to WME in these last few posts I think, rather than livemap/app
