Report traffic incidents in Maps on iPod touch

In select regions and countries, you can report accidents, hazards, speed checks, and road work, and you can report when they’re cleared (features vary by region and country).

Apple evaluates incoming incident reports. When there’s a high level of confidence in the reports, incident markers—such as for hazards and accidents —are displayed in the Maps app for other users too.

Note: Speed checks, where supported, are not displayed with incident markers. Instead, notifications for speed checks appear when you follow turn-by-turn driving directions.

Report traffic incidents

Siri: Say something like:

“Report an accident”
“There’s something on the road”
“There’s a speed check here”

Learn how to ask Siri

Or without asking Siri, you can do the following:

When following turn-by-turn driving directions: Tap the route card at the bottom of the screen, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.
When not following directions: Tap your picture or initials next to the search field, then tap Reports, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.
If you don’t see your picture or initials, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.

Report on the status of a hazard or accident

A map may display hazard and accident markers. When you’re near the incidents in select countries or regions, you can report whether they cleared.

Siri: Say something like: “The hazard is gone” or “Clear the accident.” Learn how to ask Siri.

Or without asking Siri, you can do the following:

Tap the incident marker.
Tap Cleared or Still Here.

Apple evaluates incoming incident reports. When there’s a high level of confidence in reports that an incident has been cleared, its marker is removed from Maps.

Note: You can’t clear reports of speed checks.
