I hate traffic. So avoiding a traffic jam is key to me. That’s why I was intrigued by new stats from Waze — the world’s largest community based traffic and navigation app — about when you will face traffic this Thanksgiving holiday season.

So they don’t know the routine and that slows the whole process down.
