[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mostly use Waze for things like figuring out what my best route is to work in the morning (there are several I can take, so I look for which are backed up and which are clear - no sense in adding to a traffic jam).  When using it for other trips, I scrutinize the routes they suggest because I hate being sent through a bunch of neighborhood roads to save two minutes when I’m going to lose those two minutes trying to make a left onto a major roadway that has no traffic controls at that intersection.[/quote]

I also use it to choose from the three or four options available to me to get to work. None of the options involve residential routes, so I usually go with the Waze suggestion.

I also like the warnings of hazards and slow traffic so that you can be prepared.  Sure, I don't need to know about every vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead, but sometimes the hazard warnings are helpful.  The same is true with jams along your route.  I just came back to my office after encountering traffic with some unexpected slowdowns. Using Waze, I was on the lookout for the slowdowns, but some people behind me swerved off the road because they were taken by surprise.

Seriously, people need to stop reporting every vehicle stopped on the shoulder.  Unless it’s sitting right in the edge of the travel lane or there’s other good reason to think it might present and obstacle to moving traffic, we don’t need a report.  The car sitting ten feet off the side of the road with no one in it doesn’t matter.[/quote]
