What is the significance of the different color roads on the Waze map?

Asked a year ago
The different color roads on the Waze map signify their traffic status and importance. The various colors help users quickly identify road conditions. Green roads indicate smooth traffic flow, yellow represents moderate congestion, and red warns of heavy traffic. This color-coded system enables drivers to plan their routes efficiently and avoid delays. Additionally, Waze considers user input to update road colors in real-time, providing accurate and up-to-date information. Furthermore, certain roads may be highlighted in purple, indicating ongoing construction or road closures. By incorporating these color-coded features, Waze ensures that drivers have a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the traffic situation, allowing for smoother and more informed journeys.
