Waze announced two new features Scheduled Restrictions and Conversations.

Following its buyback by Google, this Israeli startup continues to improve dynamically its services. This midday, Connectikpeople has captured two main features: Scheduled Restrictions and Conversations.
Regarding Scheduled restrictions, it lets you define segments which are only available to some types of vehicles for some of the time. This aims to be useful for

HOV and public transport lanes, bridges, etc.
According to Waze,

·        Scheduled Restrictions are part of the map. That means that whenever tiles are updated the scheduled restrictions are updated. That makes this feature less appropriate for things like short-term construction works and sports events.

Conversations, lets you talk directly from the editor with people who have reported update requests. Client users are able to reply directly from the client, and you will get a notification to your client and an email when they respond.

Connectikpeople encourages you to go and read the comprehensive wiki articles (Scheduled Restrictions / Conversations).
