I use the WAZE traffic alert program on my iPhone which is one of many that alerts you to traffic, accidents, police, etc. and to say the least I am very pleased with how it works.

 

In Virginia the local sheriffs and State Police are out monitoring speeds all over the place. On the Interstates and back roads. Cruisers and motorcycles on all roads.

 

The WAZE subscribers tell us where there are problems and it has helped me many times to avoid traffic congestion and slowing down to make sure I am a little under the speed limit.

 

So if you have a program like WAZE please let us know and how you like it.

 

If you don't have WAZE check it out on your iPhone and let us know how you like it.

 

A word of  caution. This program eats up a lot of battery so it is necessary to have your phone plugged into a car charger as you drive. And if you can place it where you can see it you will really enjoy the data by glancing at the screen every so often or listening for the audio alerts.

I use 18 wheelers and eye sight to judge traffic conditions. If I see blue lights. It means cop. If all the truckers are merging to one lane. It means accident ahead.

I'm just old school like that.
