There used to be a feature in Google Maps that allowed you to report speed traps but that has now been removed. In its place is a new, wider-reaching police alert which can be used by motorists to alert other drivers of any incidents involving officers.
There could, for example, be a roadblock, police attending debris in the road or officers working at a crime scene. It could also be a speed trap, of course, but the idea is that you’re letting other people know to be even more careful or consider trying a different route.
