Spotted a hazard? One tap to report

Passengers only, or once you've stopped. Never while driving.

A tap posts the hazard and road. To add the lane, how bad it is or a tip, use "Add a detailed report" further down.

Your location is only used when you tap a button that asks for it. Reports show it rounded to about 100 m, never your exact spot. You can always type the road instead.
