Move the "Vehicule on shoulder of the road" reporting icon direct on the first page"
Since 90% of the reporting are 'Vehicule on shoulder of the road", why not move it straight on the first page of the reporting procedure. It would cut the number of clicks by 3 ! (Danger/Side road/vehicule stand still)

How to collaborate with ARL SURA to reduce road accident rate in Colombia?
Hi waze, we are contacting you from ARL SURA, a Colombian company who helps company to the safety and health of his employees.
Road accidents are top on worst fatal and serious events in Colombia and in the world, so we are thinking in digital solutions to help employees and companies to be safe in the road.
In those solutions we are working on, there is to create our app to alert employers about the behaviors of his employees in the road, lists to check before driving, alert dangerous points in the road and more.
Can we meet…

Add common objects to Hazard:Road
To reduce the possibility of the user becoming a potential road hazard, update the Report:Hazard:Road option with a submenu so that we don't have to type out what's in the middle of the road. There is already an option to report cars stopped on the shoulder, but none to report cars stopped in lane, or tire treads, or deceased animals.
It doesn't need to be fancy, just something so that we don't need to type, unless it's something really unusual.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Clear active selection as soon as a new road is inserted
When you insert a new road and try to connect it with a selected segment the result is a 'No connection at node B'.
This behavior is very bad for new editors.
Besides that, a more experienced editor has to do extra actions to clear the selection before inserting a new road.Wouldn't it be possible to clear the active selection as soon as a new road is inserted?
The active selection will be cleared at the end of inserting a road anyway, so I think it can be cleared at the beginning too.But sometimes an editor wants…

Filter all reporting except police and road hazards
WAZE constantly audio alerts when riding down Lobethal Rd (Adelaide, South Australia):
www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.9413414,138.768338,696m/data=!3m1!1e3
I am not sure why it is alerting. Quick visual glances of the WAZE display reveals nothing. The constant alerting makes the audio warning feature useless as it becomes oblivious. It would be good to filter out all alerts except police and road hazards.

Ability for area managers to add road closures and long-lasting hazards in areas they manage
Instead of having to rely on the high level requirement in certain countries, area managers should be able to add road closures and long-lasting hazard notices on the map in the areas they manage. Currently we have to rely on Country Managers who are already busy and it creates unnecessary work for us having to create map multiple map views and copy paste links every few weeks when we could just do it ourselves. Especially during large constructions, like currently our city is constructing a tramway and roads all around the city are either completely closed or traffic flow…

Strada facendo (On the road)
STRADA FACENDO (ON THE ROAD) sarà una comunità di persone che, consapevole degli insostenibili costi ambientali del proprio stile di vita legato alla mobilità, vorrà condividere i propri quotidiani spostamenti in modo da ridurre significativamente i mezzi sulle strade ed i relativi impatti sull’ inquinamento. L'innovatività di questo progetto sta nel fatto che partendo dall'analisi degli spostamenti quotidiani dell'individuo l'app propone la migliore soluzione di spostamento in termini di sostenibilità economica e ambientale (car pooling, car sharing, mezzi pubblici, bicicletta, piedi, un mix di tutti questi). Qualora foste interessati ad approfondire, sono a disposizione. Saluti

using search features on road trips.
when traveling long road trips, the last thing I want to do is make a u-turn to find gas, food, etc. But when you click on the search features for what's near by, it doesn't take into account where you've been or where you are going. Would love to see an option/filter that allows the user to only suggest what is on the programmed route that is yet to be traveled...

Stay on Major Road Option, Longer Distance, Faster Time
Give a route option to stay on MAJOR roads, state roads and highways, and choice of a slightly longer distance, but shorter time driving. Waze always takes me off the interstate or major state road to save a few miles off of my route, but in doing so I go through every stop sign, speed table, neighborhood and school zone possible. Sure it saved me a couple of miles, but added loads of frustrating time to my drive, increased gas usage and increased wear and tear on my car.
Not only that, the start and stopping of these…

Low emission zones avoiding
The same principle as avoiding toll roads.
It is enjoying when Waze plans the way through the London (or any other city with low emission zone) and then you find out you have to drive back and find your way around the zone without any assistance as Waze still thinks you can go through the zone.112 votes -

This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focuing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Rail road crossing
Every time there's a software update it turns on railroad crossing notices and I keep turning it back off. Anyway to have it remember your preferences.

Require less reports of dangerous road hazards like potholes that would damage vehicles before they’re visible to others
I lost a tyre to a large pothole on an unlit road. Such dangerous road conditions shouldn’t need a lot of reports before they’re seen by other Waze users.

Keep Track of Tolls
Some toll roads, like the Illinois Tollway, allow you to pay the tolls online afterwards for up to 7 days after your travel without paying a fine. Now that Waze is rolling out showing the cost of tolls, it should also let you track the tolls you pass on roads that have online payment options. Following your drive, you should be able to export a list of the tolls, and the time you passed them, as well as instructions for how to pay online. As it is now, other apps exist to do…
