Add/Create a 1 touch button for a specific use.on Home Screen.
I would like to use as "Hazard on Side of Road" ALERT.I could assign to a "Shoulder Hazard", you mighht want to dedicate it to Police, someone else might want it to be Item on Road, someone along coast might be Water on Road.
Currently must do 5 steps-
"Orange Update"/"Hazard"/"Shoulder"/"Vehicle Stopped"/"Send".
THAT IS a lot of steps to do especially if by yourself.
Also buy the time I get it sent, I might be at next exit??

Sir David Attenborough's voice
I find Sir David Attenborough's voice on the TV very calming. It's like being read a fairy tale to. I would love to hear him in my Waze. No more road rage

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 segment33 votes -
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

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.

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

PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead…

IOS - Please add option for thicker roads
I am driving in dense areas (Paris in France). Would it be possible to have a thicker road display because sometimes I can't differentiate the purple from other roads. Thanks

Speeding alert for drivers
Waze should make a sound to alert the driver when they are speeding.
Waze already shows you how fast you are currently driving, and it knows everything about the road you are on, so it should be simple to compare your speed to the listed speed of the road.
Waze has always been about saving time and money for Wazers, and about creating features to attract and keep people on their service. This allows Waze to on-sell quality map data to other businesses, such as Apple. Many other SatNav clients have speeding alerts to save the driver from getting…
325 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted…

Addresses in Colombia
Addresses are pretty easy to implement in Colombia, they have 2 components. The main road being it a Calle or Carrera most of the time, and the House number, made of two parts, The intersection with the opposing road, for example a Carrera would intersect with a Calle and viceversa, and the distance from the intersection. For example, Calle 45 #67-85 would be 85 meters after the intersection of Calle 45 and Carrera 67, on Calle 45 going towards calle 68. It would be pretty easy, and really convenient for users in Colombia.
31 votesThank you for this suggestion.
We are aware of this need since address fields are ordered differently from one country to the other.
Providing this flexibility in address fields is planned but it’s out of current scope so we can’t share a timeline at the moment.
We will keep the community posted, so stay tuned! -

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…

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.

Speed Bumps
I will suggest the inclusion of speed reducers commonly used in Brazil, called "lombadas" or "quebra-molas" (speed bumps). These elements are rarely well signposted.
Are a ridge set in a road surface, for purposes to make drivers to reduce speed.990 votesHey,
We're happy to share that this idea is already live!

Ability to grade roads
It would be nice to be able to grade the quality of a road. I always avoid taking up certain suggested roads, just because I know their quality is not good and prefer staying in traffic 3 more minutes than wrecking my car.
Thanks

Traffic Delays- "other side" option
When there are traffic delays on the other side of the road, there should be an option to select "other side"
8 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
