Check traffic conditions and report traffic incidents in Maps on iPad

You can view traffic conditions and report accidents, hazards, and speed checks (where allowed), and you can report when they’re cleared. (Wi-Fi + Cellular only).

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 (or cleared) for other Maps users too.

Speed checks, where supported, aren’t displayed with incident markers. Instead, notifications for speed checks appear when you follow turn-by-turn driving directions.

Note: Not all features are available in all countries or regions. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Find out about traffic conditions

  1. Go to the Maps app on your iPad.

  2. With a map showing, tap the button at the top right, choose Driving or Satellite, then tap the Close button.

    Yellow indicates slowdowns, and red indicates stop-and-go traffic.

  3. To get an incident report, tap an incident marker.

    Markers indicate incidents such as:

    • Hazards

    • Road closures

    • Road construction

    • Accidents

Report traffic incidents

Siri: Say something like:

  • “Report an accident”

  • “There’s something on the road”

  • “There’s a speed check here”

    • When not following directions: Tap your picture or initials next to the search field, then tap Reports. Tap Report a New Issue, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.

Report on the status of a hazard or accident

When you’re near the incidents in select countries or regions, and if you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can report whether they cleared.
