London Live, the capital’s TV channel, is to partner with 6897 Waze, the community-based traffic and navigation app, for its live traffic update service which will be launching mid-August 2016.

Waze is the free crowd-sourced navigation app that is powered by 50 million monthly users from around the world that contribute real-time road data within the app.

London Live viewers will receive the latest real-time reports on live traffic conditions and incidents during morning and evening rush hour commutes.  For major events happening in and around the capital, London Live will provide comprehensive traffic updates for all road users and viewers monitoring events like Notting Hill Carnival, music festivals, protest marches, sporting events and marathon races. Using Waze data, viewers will be alerted to unusual traffic conditions as soon as they develop, from local Waze users on the road and turn it all into actionable and reliable traffic content.

Waze users also have the opportunity to join the London Live Waze Team Account, where they will be able to share live updates, photos and report directly from the scene straight to the London Live news desk sharing their experiences of road conditions, accidents, police incidents or hazards along their routes to alert other drivers and viewers.
