  @TheEXECUTlONER_ I do this at times when I suspect the police are just ahead (the bear box is growling or Waze shows a cop). I have seen this 1000s of times. It is as if the driver is afraid you are going to block him behind the car he is following. Just know that the driver of the truck following the vehicle in the slow lane is watching you. You can stay back for 30 minutes, and that driver will not pull into the fast lane. But the moment you get close enough to pass the vehicles in the slow lane, the truck (or whatever) will pull out into the fast lane. One way to prevent it is to know the truck driver is watching and, when you get close enough, speed up and hope the Driver is not paying attention so that you close the gap too fast. Be ready to hit your brakes just in case the driver is paying attention and pulls out anyway.

  @maggiemoda @HydrogenAtom137 It’s the same issue. The data centers ARE FOR the surveillance grid. All the Flock cameras, and cameras in your car, TV, phone and laptop, every message, conversation, chat, email, browser search, picture, Alexa prompt, your Waze routes, frequented spots, your voice, biometrics…

  @NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.

  @Cappo1Capponi @Biffdon That’s what I never could get with on Waze. How can I document these things like cars broken down, police etc when I am driving.

  🚨 99% of local SEO advice is noise, and most people focus on the wrong things. Agencies sell you on content calendars, blog posts, backlink packages, and social media management. None of it moves the needle for a local business. Here's what actually does: 1. Google Business Profile This is where local search is won or lost. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "dentist near me," they are not going to your website first. They are looking at the Maps pack — and the Maps pack is powered entirely by your GBP. The businesses that rank there have: → Every service listed as a category → Professional photos (updated regularly) → 100+ reviews with a 4.7 or higher rating → Posts going up weekly → NAP (name, address, phone number) data that matches everywhere on the web Most local businesses have a half-filled profile from 2019 and wonder why they can't rank. 2. Website structure Not blogs. Not word count. Structure. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and who you serve. That means: → A dedicated page for each service (not one "Services" page that lists everything) → City and neighborhood signals embedded in the right places → Fast load times and mobile-first design → Schema markup so search engines can read your data correctly Your website is not a brochure. It's a signal to Google that your business is exactly what someone in your area is searching for. 3. Citations Citations are every place your business name, address, and phone number appear online — Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, Alexa, Waze, Yelp, Facebook, and 40+ other directories. When those listings are consistent and accurate, Google trusts you more. When they're inconsistent or missing, your rankings suffer — and customers can't find you on voice assistants, GPS, or AI search. Most local businesses have never touched their citations. Half of them have wrong information sitting on directories they don't even know exist. That's the entire playbook. GBP → you show up. Website structure → Google understands you. Citations → Google trusts you. Everything else local agencies sell you is secondary to getting these three right. Fix the fundamentals. The rankings follow. Don't overcomplicate it.

  @Finnaboutanut @DonShift3 Google maps is integrated with waze now too my man. If your trying to avoid them, dont use Google maps, waze, or apple maps. Atleast Waze is fairly accurate with police location you can slow down before hand

  @BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.

  @waze two issues. The mobile camera reporting is out of control. People are reporting Flock cameras when I feel the intent is to report the speed trap cameras. Secondly my icon inexplicably changed and despite changing it in settings, it is not changing on the map screen.

  @boycatapp @amasad @ThePillarsApp We need a good 🍉 alternative to Waze (which is HQ'd in the false fake state) Please tag others in the industry, maybe someone is already working on it, or will be inspired to do so.

  @leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.
