Weather hazard: Ice
We get more freezing rain than snow out in the Pacific Northwest. It would be nice to have a button to note where there are ice patches.
I'm sure there are 4-5 threads requesting ice. Again, you can report, but only via voice command at this time.falkens wrote:https://world.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14301
Depends on how much, and whether or not it's been plowed/salted/sanded anytime recently.thefoxbox wrote:I think Ice/Black Ice would be a great option to have as one of the four listed.

As a user I would prefer to have them separate. When I was driving at 3 mph down I-87 during a snow storm the other evening and I was getting reports of -"snow ahead" I laughed - ya think? But if I had seen "ice ahead" or gravel I would have been grateful for the detailed information.AlanOfTheBerg wrote:One person recently suggested that we get rid of all the various options, and replace them all with "slippery road" or "reduced traction" or something like that. It covers all sorts of things like gravel, oil, ice, etc.
