Report traffic incidents in Maps on iPad
You can report accidents, hazards, speed checks, and road work, and you can report when they’re cleared (Wi-Fi + Cellular only; 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 (or cleared) for other Maps 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”
Or without using Siri:
Go to the Maps app
on your iPad.
Do one of the following:
When following turn-by-turn driving directions: Tap the route card at the bottom of the screen, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.
When not following directions: Tap your picture or initials next to the search field, then tap Reports. Tap Report a New Issue, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.
If neither your picture nor initials appear, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.
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:
Go to the Maps app
on your iPad.
Tap the incident marker.
Tap Cleared or Still Here.
(You can’t clear reports of speed checks.)
Note: Some features for Wi-Fi + Cellular models are available in select countries and regions and require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Apps > Maps.
