Even better traffic diversion/lets make detours easier.
Waze supports many ways for drivers to leave comments on changing road conditions and hazards, including road closures or debris in the road. The way the app is setup is for people to flag trouble while driving, not while stopped. People often use waze to avoid police when driving, this has resulted in mixed responses from law enforcement. Some saying its intentions are insufficient at ensuring continuous safe driving. Others value its merits like I do. In my work in the field I often use Waze to alert motorists that the road is closed or that there is something they need to pay extra attention to. This occasionally does not work though as I am not moving and sometimes my markings end up not facing the right way leading to incorrect submissions. It is with this, that I request of Waze, to work with law enforcement to help keep the roads truly safer and ease traffic congestion at emergency scenes. If they are willing to, create an interface for emergency services to make markings where we can draw the exact location of hazards, or have the ability to remove flags dropped by users after it has been mitigated.
