With the onset of technology and GPS guided directions, it is quite apparent there is grave concern for the safety of home owners on once quiet and less traveled residential roads.
The number 1 and redundant (and justified, I might add!) complaint is drivers are being directed into populated neighborhoods causing a significant increase in potential risk of accidents.
In my case, for example, I live on a narrow, twisting dirt/gravel road with countless potholes, and no sidewalks for pedestrians or room for folks on horseback.
WAZE sends drivers onto this road because it seems, or appears to be a shortcut between Point A and Point B. In reality, with all things considered, it is not!
It is actually shocking to see 40 foot motorhomes, long campers, and huge fifth wheel RVs traverse the road. It’s a wonder they actually reach their destination without incident!
Okay. So the complaints are real and of grave concern. However, the big question is how do we residents across the country go about convincing WAZE Corporate to change the app so it doesn’t endanger people in the path of misguided drivers?
