Traffic condition ease up
A lot of times I'm going through roads that waze will say that the road is congested, when in fact the Traffic is already clear.
I would like to give the driver an option to notify Waze when going through a 'traffic cleared area' that the road is now clear again, also when Waze recognizes that the car has a greater speed as it was posted - Waze should send an automatic message to that Wazer asking how is your road condition 'slow/ heavy / standstill..?!
Please look into my request, I feel it will help a lot of…

New roads
Dear Waze Team,
I have been a dedicated Waze user for several years. Recently, I discovered that I could contribute by making map corrections when I tried to report a missing road. A Waze representative reached out to me online, I provided details, and within a couple of days, the road was added to the map. I truly appreciate this level of responsiveness and community engagement.
I would like to propose a collaboration. I am the administrator of an off-road club in Azerbaijan, and we frequently travel across the country using old topographic maps that include roads…
1 voteThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for upda
Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for updates I receive "don't text & drive" message & am not allowed to suggest updates (hazards, police, accidents, speed limits, road construction, etc). Would it be possible under Navigation (similar to Vehicle Details) to add Wazer Details with options of: Driver, Passenger? If Driver, process as is. If Passenger, allow suggestions for updates in current time.

Add “Avoid Width Restrictions”
I’ve got a pretty big car and hate width restrictions when I’m driving through the rat race of London rushing to get to work.
If you can add “Avoid Width Restrictions” any road with a width restriction that would really help! Thanks !48 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.

Rettungssgassen-Erinnerung
Es wäre toll wenn Waze in Staus auf Autobahnen den Fahrer optisch oder akkustisch an das Bilden der Rettungsgasse erinnert. Viele Fahrer vergessen das häufig, ich auch manchmal.

Higher contrast roads in night mode
When driving at night, I can barely see thin grey roads against the black background. Meanwhile, as I pass roads that need to be verified (chomped), I see all the bright white dots. I'd prefer to have more emphasis on the roads I'm actually using. It's distracting, and distractions when driving, at night no less, are a bad idea!
I have an iPhone 5. Although I have not used waze on other devices, I would assume they have the same color scheme, and thus the same issue.
Alternatively, provide a means to customize the night color scheme…

Speed limit
Please allow us to remove the digital speedometer, and instead show a much larger speed limit for the road! The current speed limit sign is very small on some displays, and since every car already has a speedometer, I would like the option to remove it from the app and just show a large icon for speed limit only

Tolls whitelist
We need the option to whitelist certain tolls when on "Avoid Tolls". I generally want to avoid all tolls except for a specific one since every other way is basically unusable.

Report Drivers
We should be able to report when there is a crazy driver on the road. I just had a lady tailgate me, swerve around me, cut me off, and proceed to tailgate other cars in front of me. Having a feature to report this would be helpful for safety reasons.

Allow the ability to specify the location of a report.
When reporting an issue, crash, traffic jam, fire, Police activity, the system only gives you the option to report on the road you are on. So for example, if you are at an interchange where you can see the activity on a highway or interstate, but you are not on that road, you can't actually report it properly. Maybe it can be set up that you make a report, and like in google maps, you have a pin dropped on the map that you can move to the correct location, if where you are is not the location of…

Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.

How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle…7 votes
