Waze, the popular app used by drivers to flag police presence and speed enforcement on the roads, is now being tapped by the Government to help manage traffic on the nation’s roads.

The National Works Agency (NWA) has officially partnered with Google to use the navigation app to provide motorists with real-time, verified information on traffic and road works.

The partnership is expected to help commuters plan their daily routes, particularly during peak hours when traffic volumes surge.
