Waze will include a feature to avoid dangerous crossings
If you usually use your mobile phone to orient yourself while driving, we are sure that you will know exactly what Waze is and how it works. But if you haven't tried it yet, we'll tell you that Waze is a social application that offers you assisted navigation and real-time traffic information. The difference between this and the rest of traditional GPS applications lies in its "social" section. And it is that the information is provided directly by the users, which allows the community to enjoy more accurate information about what happens on the road.But although it is already useful for many users, the application continues to receive improvements to improve the experience for those who tend to take Waze as the Bible itself when drivingToday we learned that Waze will take care of providing you with alternative routes so you don't have to go through dangerous crossingsDo you want to know what this new tool will consist of?
Some intersections can be very dangerous We are talking about those kinds of intersections where several cars pass at the same time, there is no trace of traffic lights and no one is too sure who has to go first. These are difficult intersections The best thing to do is to avoid them and Waze wants to help you in this regard . So far, the tool has been put into operation in Los ÁngelesWhat it does is calculate the best route and estimated time of arrival through as few tricky intersections as possible. In fact, Waze already warns you: it will try to eliminate those that are possible, but not all. The tool will be launched automatically when offering information on driving in Los Angeles, but it can always be deactivated from the Settings section.
For an intersection to be considered “dangerous”, Waze takes into account three important conditions: that the crossing does not have any traffic lights, that it experiences a constant flow of traffic, that visibility is limited or that there is a combination of these three factors. Be that as it may, the user will have the possibility of arriving at their destination earlier and doing so in a much safer way
If you use Waze in Spain, you will still have to wait a few weeks.We know that after testing in Los Angeles, the functionality will become available to users using the app in New Orleans Later it will work in the international version of the tool and we will have the opportunity to test it in our streets and telephones. There are no dates on the horizon yet, but we will remain attentive to inform you of any news instantly.
