That way, it would be easier to compare graphs for different cities in different time zones - it looks a little awkward when a city outside your timezone appears to have its evening rush between 1800 and 2000 instead of 1700 and 1900. I expect this will become more important if you add more cities that are further apart.
The base idea is good. What about the data gaps/overlaps because of Daylight Saving Time jumps twice a year, interpolate? Or let's ignore DST changes and use the base time zone shift (usually during the winter time)? Neither option is ideal.

Not fortik, but fotrik, nevertheless he's pretty unreachable for us as well, during the most recent year-two.

Guri's account is guri211, but fotrik already took over also the data capture part.

Never say never ;-)
We've met him some week ago. He may eventually slowly start again.

[edit] Fellow Champs remind me that fotrik was mentioning performance problems and that any soon additions are indeed not that sure.

Nice graphs so far! The 2-year view is the most interesting as it will show Waze's growth over time - but maybe it could use a bit of smoothing? And it would be a nice-to-have if an "average week"-graph could be compiled, using data of the last few (4 or 5?) weeks, showing at a glance the average monday, average tuesday etc.

Whatever. Isn't/wouldn't that look the same?

And wouldn't it be an idea to have a running total of trafficjams reported per country? Every now and then new records are set here (sorry, this is in dutch), and the publication of those numbers spur a public debate in which the accuracy of the governmental numbers are disputed by tomtom, navigon, inrix, our drivers union - but not Waze.
