Waze is testing a big traffic upgrade that will make your life easier

A new report indicates that Waze may be working on an addition that aims to offer more information regarding local traffic, and it’s one that Google Maps has had for a while now.

Despite being used entirely for driving, the Waze app doesn’t offer many of the same features seen on Google Maps, including showing traffic lights to users. That could soon change as, according to a report from the publication Geektime, Waze is currently testing the feature for drivers in Israel.

According to the report, when using the app to navigate, users can see up to three of the nearest traffic lights at a time. However, if you’re driving around without a specific destination, then the app will show you all the traffic lights that are near you. This distinction is stated in the report to be an attempt to avoid having the screen get too cluttered at any one time, especially when Waze’s social icons are activated.
