Avoid unplowed streets with Waze's Snow Warning feature

The first big storm of the season is coming, so here's a quick reminder to take advantage of Waze's Snow Warning feature. It can let you know when you're approaching a road flagged as unplowed. It works similar to how other hazards are flagged on the crowd-sourced navigation app. You can report unplowed roads by tapping to update the map, then Hazards > Weather > Unplowed road.

During Toronto's last big storm in January 2022, weather hazards reported by Waze drivers went up 8.6%. That included unplowed roads, fog, hail, flood, and ice. And Toronto traffic tracked dropped 21.7% compared to the preceding days.
