map legend
How about a map legend (or explanation)? I'm not sure what some of the symbols (like the red-and-white striped bar) mean, or how the road colors are defined
10 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.

Car stopped ON road ie: transport unloading new cars
In Ontario we have frequent stopped vehicles in the centre turning lanes of roadways. They stop to unload new vehicles for car dealerships. Would like an option to report car/vehicle stopped ON the roadway, separate from the “car on shoulder” option

UPDATE SECTION: Warning on the route
Currently, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported, although the road is crowded, we do not know which band to fall in to avoid the accident.
After the warning buttons like: accident, hole, works, etc
Show the selection of the band on which the warning is placed
Let's have options, three lanes.
This will help us whether we are on a road with a band, or that we are on a 5-lane highway
After this UPDATE, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips…8 votes -
Trains blocking roads
I think it would be great if there could be a feature added for trains! We have trains in this area that will stop on the tracks for hours, and they end up blocking over 20 different roads and you end up having to drive about 15 roads down until you find an opening where the train ends. Currently there's no way to indicate a stopped train. I've tried using the blocked road feature but it doesn't work for this.

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic,…

Avoid Country Roads
Please add an option to avoid country roads in the UK, and stick to motorways, A and B roads only. Country roads are very narrow and dangerous

Option to save at least 2 user settings/profiles
I would want to see an option to save at least 2 user settings. I switch back and forth between a car and a motorcycle.
I prefer the back roads and avoid toll roads when I am on the bike. And of course, the opposite when I am in a car.
It's such a hassle having to change the settings each and every time.
I would sometimes wonder why it hasn't led me to a highway when I am in a car, or why it did when I am on a bike. Then realize that I forgot to…

i missed out reporting some very dangerous road conditions because I had too many posts! There should be no limit to how much you can help!
There should be no limit on number of reports. I drove from Orlando to Kansas City & couldn't report some very dangerous road conditions because I had "too many posts in a short period of time."

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Plot recently driven roads
It would be great to have an option to mark roads recently driven by other wazers. This would increase the confidence that it's clear from traps, traffic jams etc.

always before a fork or road pre-selection, ie when you have to keep right with 2 parallel roads, it is ideal to mark the lane with flashin
always before a fork or road pre-selection, ie when you have to keep right with 2 parallel roads, it is ideal to mark the lane with flashing yellow so as not to create confusion on highways with two parallel lanes and you do not realize which you follow it because both are blue and it is difficult to drive and you will notice after 2 lanes having the same color that you have to follow.
1 voteGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Use special tiles for not downloaded areas
Let the waze client use a special tile for not downloaded areas. When on a slow connection you sometimes realise there's no road where you are, so you enable construction mode just to realise a minute later that the roads in the area just weren't finished downloading to your phone yet.
