Power Outages - Part 2

[#1]

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and there are regularly power outages across the country. The power outages can be very disruptive, and result in hours wasted in traffic due to traffic lights being out.

Power outage schedules are available from Eskom, however, one only really ever checks when one's own area will be affected and it is difficult to check areas one may travel through (schedules are not very user-friendly).

It would be great if Google Maps could:

Indicate on Google Maps if load shedding is imminent in a certain area, or is currently occurring in a certain area, so one could better plan travel time, routes, etc.

Power outages happen in Toronto, as well. It would be great if there was a way to report traffic lights out, and whether it is part of a power outage (broad area) or just local to 1 or 2 blocks.

@MicheleMarques I agree 100%

Hello @VickiPilcher,

We would like to thank you for your idea, but we did not manage to implement it in time. According to our Idea Exchange policies we are going to close it.
