Can we report accidents please?

This feature would be great to help other motorists to avoid/consider hot spots.
Also, this would highlight where the dangerous spots are in the future with enough data gathered.

I talked about this with pete before. I also thought it would be good, however this is not something in the works right now. However you can go to traffic.com and set up alerts.

I'm a moderator in Fla
I agree that Road Hazards would be a great thing to report. Only give them a life of one hour like the trap Live Police.

Actually in my opinion thats why I turn on displaying traffic. Shows me bad spots

In the central Florida area the dynamic area alert and the new Google live traffic does not work properly. I pass accidents all the time and have never seen even one listed on these alert options. I'm sure it's a local thing but Metro Orlando is a very large city with approx 2 million and we don't get the benefit of having this working option.

Also I would like to point out that Trapster is a user input program that is now relying on other than users to report traffic hazards.

I would like to be able to report that a wheel barrel in lying in the middle of the interstate. Or a tree has fallen half way across a road or a road is partially flooded. I would only expect the Hazard alert to stay active for as long as the Live Police is active and that is one hour.

These are just my thoughts.

Well I can definitly understand that, however you have to remember there are a few factors as to why certain things aren't working "as they should".
Example:
1. Windows Mobile is about to be updated to WM 6.5, and because of the HUUUGE cooked (custom) rom renditions and some cooks not knowing what certain files do they just throw files in or leave important ones out. Google Maps and I imagine trapster will be relying heavily on the aGPS modules in WM 6.5 whereas there was no aGPS (assisted GPS) in previous WM builds, along with other MAJOR overhaules to the actual engine of these builds. Even on devices these are native for still have issues until HTC and Micro come up with more finalized decisions. There are alot of other issues as well with other OS's, Phones, Etc, this was merely an example. As time goes, just like with any other tech, things will eventually pan themselves out.

Also I am sure stef and pete are taking note
