Report traffic incidents in Maps on iPad

In the Maps app on an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, 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, aren’t 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 use Siri

When following turn-by-turn driving directions, if you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can tap the route card at the bottom of the screen, tap Report an Incident, then choose an option.

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, and if you have an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular, you can report whether they cleared.

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

Or without using Siri, do the following:

Tap the incident marker.
Tap Cleared or Still Here.
(You can’t clear reports of speed checks.)

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: Some features for Wi-Fi + Cellular models are available in select regions and countries and require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Maps.
