The speed traps and radar are now showing up in Google Maps in Australia for me it’s great and very accurate. I have no idea who puts the markers there.

You as a Google maps user can report various things, its a speech bubble under layers button with a + sign in it, in Android.

Google owns Waze...

(I wonder if the Waze ToS admits to having any crowdsourced data entered by users flow through to GoogleMaps?)

The crowdsourced data seemed combined when I had both waze and Google maps running once.

As for legality, the "content" you submit (which looks to include road condition/event submissions) is sub-licensable and transferable, https://www.waze.com/legal/tos "rights in content".

Pretty sure it comes from the Waze users; Google owns both.
