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 for hazards and accidents are displayed or cleared for other Maps users too. On the map, yellow indicates slowdowns, and red indicates stop-and-go traffic. Siri can report an accident for you, too.

Note: Not all features are available in all countries or regions. Some Maps features on iPad models with Wi-Fi + Cellular require a cellular data plan and Cellular Data turned on in Settings > Apps > Maps. Standard carrier data and text rates may apply. See View or change your cellular data.
