City partners with Waze to include traffic signal info
Wednesday, August 21, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
The Waze app will now offer more information to Austin drivers by using an existing data set that tracks the status of city traffic lights. The city’s Transportation and Public Works Department explained the integration in its newsletter, saying, “Now, whenever a traffic signal is flashing, that data set integrates with Waze maps so drivers using Waze navigation can see when a traffic signal is flashing and prepare. Drivers should always treat a flashing traffic signal as an all-way stop.” For those who don’t use Waze, or would like to see the data for themselves, information about traffic signals is available through the city’s open data portal and in map form on the city’s website.
