Digesett integrates accident zones into Waze to boost road safety

Santo Domingo.- The General Directorate of Traffic Safety and Land Transportation (Digesett) has integrated critical accident zones into the Waze platform, in coordination with WazeDom, as part of a new strategy to improve road safety in the Dominican Republic.

Beginning this week, drivers using Waze will receive real-time alerts when approaching high-risk areas with a history of traffic accidents. The notification — “Critical zone nearby, reduce speed” — is designed to encourage safer driving behavior, reduce speeding, and prevent collisions on the country’s most dangerous roads.

According to Digesett, this initiative strengthens its national road safety plan by combining technology, data analysis, and public awareness. Authorities emphasized that digital navigation tools like Waze play a key role in reducing traffic accidents and improving mobility across the Dominican Republic, while urging drivers to follow traffic laws and pay close attention to in-app safety alerts.
