Does Waze actively change your route during trip to avoid traffic?

USA Today interviewed Noe Veloso, Fremont’s principal transportation engineer, who said, “We’re just trying to find a balance, to eliminate some of the time savings that’s sending people into our streets.”
There’s just one problem: if you make one city side street less attractive, the apps will just route people to another one. The director of the Washington State Transportation Center says that if traffic is like water, “The water often finds a new route around the dam.”
And of course, it’s not just happening in Fremont, California. “Fremont’s situation is playing out in towns and cities across the U.S.,” reports USA Today, “with municipal planners just starting to grasp the scope of the challenge.”

Tried to use Waze this weekend in New Orleans and it was a disaster. Changed to Google Maps and no issues.
