Report traffic incidents in Maps on iPad
In the Maps app on an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can report accidents, hazards, speed checks, and road work, and you can report when they’re cleared (features vary by region and country).
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 in the Maps app
for other users too.
Note: Speed checks, where supported, aren’t displayed with incident markers. Instead, notifications for speed checks appear when you follow turn-by-turn driving directions.
Report traffic incidents
Siri: Say something like:
“Report an accident”
“There’s something on the road”
“There’s a speed check here”
When following turn-by-turn driving directions, if you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can tap the route card at the bottom of the screen, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.
Report on the status of a hazard or accident
A map may display hazard and accident
markers. When you’re near the incidents in select countries or regions, and if you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can report whether they cleared.
Siri: Say something like: “The hazard is gone” or “Clear the accident.” Learn how to use Siri.
Or without using Siri, do the following:
Tap the incident marker.
Tap Cleared or Still Here.
(You can’t clear reports of speed checks.)
Apple evaluates incoming incident reports. When there’s a high level of confidence in reports that an incident has been cleared, its marker is removed from Maps.
Note: Some features for Wi-Fi + Cellular models are available in select regions and countries and require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Maps.
