Sounds great but I don’t see that option on my iPhone.

Waze. saved my bacon several times by routing me around traffic jams, not to mention alerting me to ahead.
I just use Google Maps. It has all the color-coded traffic data, lists accidents and construction, etc. Presumably, the same data that Waze displays. And it's usually already installed on Android phones.
Look for the settings using the Waze app, not the iphone settings icon. Open Waze, tap the search icon in the lower left, then the gear icon in the upper left, then follow the directions given in the message above.
Thanks to the poster above who pointed out these options.
+1 I think Waze added some of the traffic features prior to Google Maps, but my "new" phone with the latest Google Maps from a few years back seemed to have all the traffic features that I needed.
It is not clear to me why the preference for Waze still exists.
Does Google Maps give police warnings?
I haven't seen that feature on Google Maps. Is that really reliable on side streets? Seems to me it requires a pretty large user base, taking the time to report, for it to be helpful on anything but the a heavily-traveled highway.
Along the same lines, my old TomTom displayed the posted speed limit all the time, so if you missed a sign you'd still know the limit. If Waze did that, it might be worth switching.

Waze does post the speed limit at all times and of course one's current speed.
Just thought that I would give this a bump and see if there is anything new under the sun over the last year. DS just got back from riding his bike cross-country and was talking up Waze while I am still using Google Maps.
One thing I do like about Waze is the function that tells you your estimated arrival time. Not sure if others do that, but I like knowing that at a glance.
