*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area,…

We need Waze to be able to take us back the same road for a return trip."breadcrumb trail"
I find it necessary to return from a destination sometimes the same way I went. I want to find something I saw on my trip. having a breadcrumb trail would be great.

Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Add dedicated buttons for most common things (police, car at side of road), with no defaults in case I accidentally hit. This is one click.
Add dedicated buttons for most common things (police, car at side of road), with no defaults in case I accidentally hit. This is one click.
99% of the time I report either police or car at side of road. Make these dedicated buttons so i don't have to mess with one more level of menu.

Make footpaths more distinguishable in the app
A footpath in the app is the same colour and barely a fraction of a millimeter thinner than a road, so it’s easy to miss where a driveable road ends and continues as a footpath. Changing footpaths to dashed lines just like in the browser Map Editor would 100% solve the problem.

history of road conditions
Had an accident , other driver says that I stopped for no reason. We were stopping due to everyday congestion (stop and go). I now need to prove the traffic jam existed. Is there not any way to get a history of like I96 West just before the Beck exit in Novi Michigan at 8:25a.m.

Speed Limit Announcer
Waze should have the option of Current Speed Limit Announcer, everytime when the speed changes, or if your on the road, and the speedometer pops up for example, “35” in a 35 mph road, or “60” in a 60 mph road
Waze on your phone and/or CarPlay should speak “The speed limit is “35 mph” or “The speed limit is 60 mph”
It is a lot better than looking at your radio just to see the speed limit is posted to prevent a crash

Reminder: time to take a break!
We suggest introducing notifications that would remind drivers to take a 10 minute break when they have driven for 2 hours non-stop, and after a 4 hour drive would suggest taking a 20 minute power nap.
Research by the Latvian Road Traffic Safety Directorate shows that 11,7% of drivers are at high risk of falling asleep, and 1/3 of all drivers have experienced falling asleep at the wheel for a second in the last year.
By reminding drivers how important it is to take breaks, Waze can help prevent tragic accidents and save lives.

We are currently not planning on adding resting alerts or reminders.

Improve visibility for congested roads
The new waze changed the congestion indicator to be a thin red or yellow outline of the route. Persons over 45 are having a difficult one seeing that thin line. I basically cannot tell where there is congestion without having to wear my reading glasses whilst driving. The old version I could see it clearly as it changed the whole road color. Maybe an option for us with farsighted issues.

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Favoriting places of interest on road trips
We travel east of the Mississippi almost year round for my daughters travel softball tourneys. While making these trips it would be nice to know if there are any of our favorite quick stops (gas, food) like WAWA Sheetz, Bucees. Also restaurants, gas stations, hotels, golf courses etc.
Please create an option where we can favorite 3-5 of our places and the icon will appear on the map while driving down the highway.Thank you

The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the trap
The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the camera and not the current road the driver is on.
In situations where the driver is on a fast road and is about to exit to a slower road with a speed trap, the driver does not receive the sound alert as they should if they were already on the road with the camera.
For example: A driver is driving at 90 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 100 km/h, following a route already indicated on Waze. The driver is going to take an exit…

Miscellaneous Suggestions - Reporting Items Not There and Hazards
I would suggest having the ability to select reports and mark them as not there. For instance, oncoming traffic reports of speed traps or traffic that have since cleared up but not timed out.
Also reporting a road hazard of disabled vehicle on the road. Currently there's vehicle on shoulder and you can report an accident on the road. We should be able to note a disabled vehicle blocking one lane.
Lastly there should be the ability to note in an accident if it's affecting both sides (when EMS responds from both directions and closes lanes), when the …

calculated average speed of average speed segment
There are some road segments which have average speed cameras. Almost always the human beings unable to calculate average speed, so instead they simply don't exceed the enforced speed, the max speed, not average. In case if there are obstructions, slow vehicles, turning vehicles in the average speed segment, the real average speed may fall significantly below what was requested by Road Code rules.
Please add indicator of calculated average speed of passing of the current average speed segment42 votes -
Add warnings for dangerous road sections
It would be useful to add warnings on maps when entering an area where many previous crashes/deaths have been recorded. This is done on roads in Romania via a special traffic sign (a red triangle with a black circle in it). It would be useful for general traffic safety for waze to give such warnings to make drivers more atentive and to drive slower.

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

Pre-Planned Road Closure (Confirm Road Closure or Report a closure as not there)
Although there are posted times for freeway ramp closures, I think someway of also reporting a closure that is not actually there, or even confirming a closure. Through my personal experience this would be super helpful as the exits around my exits add an additional 15-20 minutes to my drive back home. But many times when Waze tells me my exit is closed, but its actually open which can get frustrating.

Delete old road warning every 2 or 3 days. out of date, drivers are not maintaining.
