Waze Will Alert You Soon About Sporting Events, Marathons, and Other Indoor Events Nearby
Waze today announced a new feature that will allow event organizers to announce upcoming road closures for things like sporting events, marathons, and more.
This feature will allow event coordinators to log into their event, select a date and time, and then select closed roads and other things that might be affected. This should help you avoid things like closing marathons or getting stuck in a game day’s traffic.
Launch partners are currently limited, including the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series and a number of sports teams including the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions. As more companies register, you should see a greater impact on your routing, but only time will tell how people use it. At the moment, you can familiarize yourself with upcoming events on the “Events” page .
