      If only you&rsquo;d known the interstate would be down to one lane,
      you&rsquo;d have taken an alternate route. It&rsquo;s the inevitable
      orange-barrel nightmare that travelers dread, but mostly

      The best part? Waze doesn&rsquo;t rely only on official information that
      might be outdated or inaccurate by the time you hit the road. Other Waze
      users input data about traffic, construction, and road
      conditions.&nbsp;&nbsp;

      For example, if there&rsquo;s construction causing a two-hour delay, made
      worse by a wayward piece of drywall in the road, you&rsquo;ll receive an
      alert from Waze, based on what other users experienced and reported in
      real time.&nbsp;&nbsp;

      Want to find not just any gas station, but the closest one with the least

      You can pre-plan your trip adding stopping points, like gas stations and
      restaurants, along the way. Waze will even go further and alert you of any

      Of course, accidents happen, and that information will come to you real
      time when you&rsquo;re already on the road. But you can take a look at

      Waze&rsquo;s live map allows you to zoom to street-level and view current
      traffic conditions. For example, say you&rsquo;re traveling in Nashville
      and plan to take I-65N, you zoom in to see live reports of heavy traffic
      jams and standstill traffic near Brentwood. You decide to take an
      alternate route and arrive on time. Simple as that.&nbsp;
