I don't know when it was added but Apple Maps also has speed trap, collision, object on road, and traffic jam alerts.

Apple Maps has this as well and I often get the alerts while driving.

What would be amazing is if the major apps opened the social aspects to share this data.

I have not found that to be reliable enough to trust overall. I hate Waze wanting to announce every damn thing, it's annoying after a while. I don't care if there is a car on the side of the road, or the tiniest piece of cardboard in the road that someone felt compelled to flag for points.

You can turn off notifications for individual types of alerts.

I personally find speed trap alerts to be without value.

Another thing you could do is simply follow the posted speed limits, instead of using technology to evade law enforcement. It's very relaxing!

Agreed. However...

Speed trap notification are for more than just evading law enforcement. It lets you know that there's going to be a slow down because a lot of people who see cops instinctively tap the break and that has a domino effect. So if you're coming up the hill and you don't see the traffic yet, you can still be prepared.

Sometimes you go from one speed limit zone to another without realizing. I'm not saying I'm flying around as fast as possible, but it's nice to get an alert for a speed trap so I can look down and double check that I'm not speeding.

No need to get on a soapbox.
