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! -
Clear, safe upcoming roads
My idea is if a user has used a road recently, say within 30 minutes and there were no issues, show an icon to indicate the road is clear no accidents, traffic or police

Please check your data in the County of Chester, PA. It confuses drivers as they seek Davis Rd but arrive on Jaffrey Road
Correct your system/maps. Your system is invasive to our home as delivery drivers end up at our residence on Jaffrey when they are seeking/looking for a road named, Davis.

Please provide an option to turn off the "car stopped on shoulder" warning.
This is the most common warning yet doing nothing more than distracting. People stop on shoulders for few minutes all the time so why do I need to care unless I am planning to drive on the shoulder?? Turning off road hazards does not help.

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…

UK:LON - When driving at night waze should have a feature to avoid side road as traffic levels tend to be low.
UK:LON - When driving at night waze should have a feature to avoid side road as traffic levels tend to be low. Therefore, when waze is suggesting side roads at night the journey time tends to longer plus London side roads have too many speed pumbs, which is not good for a driver’s back.

Adding a maximum speed for adapting maximal speed roads
Hi,
In Belgium and the Netherlands (and probably other countries too) we have adapting maximal speed signs on the highroads (and on soms other roads too). In case of trafficjams or accidents they lower the maximum speed on that road so you don’t get extra accidents and jamms (other people that go faster and slower on the highway etc).
It would be handy to have a button on the ‘report screen’ to set a new (temporary) maximum speed for that segment while you are in your car so that other people can see it, your maximum speed…

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-

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??

license plate reporting / review review system for bad drivers
Currently, there is no system of checks and balances for bad or dangerous drivers. If someone is driving recklessly, or dangerously (slamming on brakes, threatening people, road rage) the only recourse is 911, which doesn't always apply and would increase erroneous / wasteful emeergency calls which should be used for more important emergencies.
If the DMV won't listen, then I hope application developers like Waze, or someone else would implement this feature so that bad drivers can be tracked and reported via license plate in a community fashion.
Then hopefully, the DMV will do something and create a review program…

Use more straight roads
Very often instead of travelling on a straight road, waze often turn into small roads and later exit on to the same road further down in order to save a minute or two. What actually happen is , the time save is negligible, considering the difficulty in exiting the side road onto the main road. Sometimes it take considerable time and danger doing that, especially if you are turning right. It would be advisable to travel straight, unless it is a standstill massive jam. I have been using maze on Melbourne roads and it always try…

Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze
Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my…5 votes -
Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

I15 Fastrak - HOV Only
An option for Carpool Lanes that let you pay if single vehicle that shows if it is only HOV allowed. Example California I15 Fastrak you can pay and use the lane (with appropriate transponder) however, if it is marked HOV only then you are not allowed to use the lane unless 2+ however, by the time you go the optimal route that takes you the express lanes and if HOV only it would have been more expedient to go a back road. It would be nice to see if the Fastrak is HOV only or Toll Option.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.
