When it comes to accuracy in traffic information, Waze often takes the lead. Waze gathers real-time data from its active user community, which means it can provide up-to-the-minute reports on accidents, police presences, and road closures. This user-generated data allows Waze to offer highly accurate and detailed traffic information, particularly in heavily congested areas or during rush hours. Google Maps, on the other hand, offers reliable traffic data but may not always match the real-time precision of Waze.
