One of the most requested features is finally coming to Waze. We’re talking about showing traffic lights. This has been a part of Google Maps for years now, and Google also owns Waze as you may know – but it’s taken this long for Waze to start integrating traffic lights for some reason.
For now it’s a limited release – Waze is testing the traffic light display feature in Israel. The feature seems to be in early stages. Interestingly, Waze will only show you a maximum of three traffic lights when in navigation mode, presumably to keep the UI from looking too cluttered.
That said, if you just use the app without navigation mode, you will see all the traffic lights around you. It’s unclear when this will roll out to everyone across the world, but at least we now know that the feature is finally in testing, so the wait probably won’t be much longer from this point on.
