Waze becomes Tour de France's Official Traffic Manager

Source: Waze

Waze and Tour de France (and Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift) have announced a three-year sponsorship of the prestigious cycling race. The Tour is the latest event to join over 300 event producers as a Waze Global Partner. This will make the community-based navigation app the Tour's Official Traffic Manager. Waze calls it a "first-of-its-kind" collaboration with the company providing tools, data, and insights to drivers, athletes, and fans. Ahead of the start line, Waze's community of volunteer map editors will update the maps with 4,000km of road closures, start and finish points, temporary car parks, and live traffic speeds. These updates will help ensure that drivers can navigate event traffic.
