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.

Would be good if Wazers could remove traffic jams as well as adding them. Sometimes I drive normal speed on a red road. It happens that the opposite direction is fluid but is shown red on Waze

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…

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…

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

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…

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.

Return the colors back to the original map editor colors. Off-road/dirt road now appears as thin gray instead of brown. This makes it difficult to use when intentionally off-roading and causes normal drivers to accidentally end up offroading.Hence all the Waze meme and jokes not to use Waze in traffic. The colors were perfectly fine before

Move the road name labels so they don't cover up the junction
Very often the road labels cover up the junction, it's very difficult to see which exit of a roundabout is needed because the label covers the whole centre area,

Please add/return the Separation Line on two-way roads
It helps wazers to arrive on correct side of road.
Give the correct route, without need to duplicate roads...Other option can be using the NUMBERS (houses) of roads to decide what is the correct way/side should be used...

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…

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a…

Toads on roads
In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.

Please make the 'next road' number bigger. The icon is too small to read safely while driving.
Please make the 'next road' number bigger. It's a big image with a small font. Knowing where I am going next is vital but the font is too smaller. Either make it bigger by default or let me choose to make it bigger.

Change the way Waze avoids tolls
Waze does not work well to route to locations that require a toll if you have the avoid tolls setting on.
My current understanding is that waze chooses the route with the fewest segments marked as toll segments. Instead it should count a continuous segment without exits or intersections as one toll and choose the fastest route.
