The World's Mega Traffic Events
Drivers Survival Kit

The Waze Community is working together to fight chaotic traffic events worldwide by

- Providing known closures and real-time data for unexpected hazards
- Helping drivers bypass heavy traffic during mega events in their area

How it Works
- Champs source events and closure locations
- Dedicated Event Survival Kit website is created for expected closures and real-time traffic updates
