Yep, it has a nice it'll button on the right side of the screen, no need to tap into any menus.

iOS 14.5: How to Report Speed Checks, Traffic Accidents, and Other Hazards in Apple Maps
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
No it's not. Your car might have AWD, lane assistance, auto braking, night vision and whatnot - you still need to abide by the laws of physics and the human reaction time hasn't improved by a millisecond since the 1960's.
I live in a somewhat rural area. The rate of speed tourists from the city think is appropriate tells me they've never seen a moose.
Unfortunately, you might be right. If I report an incident, my report would disappear in Maps after a minute.
Traffic engineers will say a road is designed to accommodate 75 mph speed limits. Some politician will walk in and demand it be 65 instead. The reaction argument is weak. Keep your distance from other cars... Something that's easily done if everyone would just drive like a normal person instead of having the few that are always on "Sunday cruise" mode.
Whether you're going 65 or 80, the damage will still be barely if at al different. The fact that everyone drives above the speed limit means the rates are too low to be reasonable. The fact that people have to constantly "look down" at the speedometer instead of driving naturally proves this.
you can also use siri to report things when you don’t have a destination set as well.
and you can use the UI out of navigation if you go through the normal “report an issue” flow. even lets you drag to spot the incident.
seems pretty thought out

Our local police are waiting on Carmarthen roundabout this evening in their BMW 530d (CV19 BHP). They usually stop random motorists because crime no longer exists
They have to find a way to pay for their police officer's salaries. Without writing people up for driving 61 in a 55, where else would they get the funds? 🤡
You can also report incidents in the "Report an Issue" tab in Maps. Just make sure your location services is switched on.
Waze is a "waze of time". It has been always a mess and buggy in my experience especially CarPlay. Apple Maps isn’t too late to join the party here considering how much attention their new maps is getting.
any kind of interaction like this (the UI) with the phone while driving is illegal in California (and elsewhere I assume).
So quite frankly, promoting the UI interaction in the article is irresponsible.

It is illegal in the U.K. to warn other users about police speed checks. If caught you could face a £1,000 fine.
Last year even though people spent less time driving, traffic deaths increased. Speeding was the number one reason. Do some basic research before leaving comments.
Traffic deaths rose 8% in 2020, even as Americans drove fewer miles during pandemic
The National Safety Council estimates said that 42,060 people died in vehicle crashes in 2020, an 8% increase over 2019.

I don’t understand why you need to be on a planned route to report hazards.
you dont. you can do it through siri or through the report an issue flow.
50% of the autobahn has strict speed limits these days. Lots of speed cameras everywhere too — like the UK.
Don’t be naive, both Apple and Google share all the info they have on you with the three letter government agencies.
Yes, this is absolutely true. It's unbelievable really. They're still at Carmarthen roundabout
