Google made a big change to the incident reports feature in Google Maps, replacing speed traps with a more generic police identifier.

Google Maps replaces speed trap alerts with a generic "Police" tag for broader reporting. The app now allows users to flag various incidents like traffic jams, construction, and lane closures. The change aims to cover all police activities, not just speed traps, enhancing road transparency.

Google Maps has quietly altered how incident reports work, with a new "Police" option that replaces speed traps.
