Awesome app! Great that it works in Canada!

When you see a speed trap, you can signal it. But what happens when the police leaves?

Because it's crowd sourced, they (and all of us users) rely on other drivers to either thumbs up the warning (because the cop is there) or X it out if the cop is gone.

I find that the marked speed traps are pretty accurate.

Comes in handy for accidents - speed of traffic flow - and the cops .... i always mark them when i see them at their favourite spots.

Have it and use it all the time, amazing app. Takes me on some strange routes out of Toronto in traffic but unbelievable how quick I can get to the 400 with it.

Very cool. Started using it today. Reported a speed trap and was thanked for it.

I can see this being very useful as it becomes more popular.

The more people that use it and update info - the better it will be.

it would be cool if we could create a rennlist group on waze and see each other. I use it a lot but sometimes am surprised when it takes me an extra block and back out of the way. It also is supposed to learn the routes you like to take but I haven't noticed this.

Downloading it to, I always knew there was apps like this out there but figured it wouldnt have caught on enough in ontario/canada to be effective... but will start using it now.
