Check traffic conditions and report traffic incidents in Maps on iPhone
You can view traffic conditions and report accidents, hazards, and speed checks (where allowed), and you can report when they’re cleared.
Apple evaluates incoming incident reports. When there’s a high level of confidence in the reports, incident markers—such as for hazards and accidents
—are displayed (or cleared) for other Maps users too.
Speed checks, where supported, aren’t displayed with incident markers. Instead, notifications for speed checks appear when you follow turn-by-turn driving directions.
Note: Not all features are available in all countries and regions. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.
