Reduce the excessive frequency of too many warnings on the same stretch of road
Good morning.
I would kindly like to suggest an implementation of functions, regarding voice warnings, as they are truly TOO MANY and TOO FREQUENT on the same stretch of road! Very repetitive indeed, and so distracting!
In fact, constantly hearing the voice assistant that in a verbose way warns you every 200 meters, instead of just once, or at most twice, no longer makes you pay attention to any turns or changes.We couldn't even talk to each other in the car anymore, with that continuous non-stop voice every two minutes! I had to disable them completely and proceed…

Toggle navigation options in route
When already in navigation, and pulling up to see the route options... You should be able to toggle the navigation options, say, in a secondary section below the different routes available.
Examples:
- avoid freeways
- avoid ferries
- avoid toll roads
- etcThat way, you don’t have to go into Th e overall settings of the entire app. The setting stay as default, but the options you toggle are for that specific navigation in progress.
I sometimes want backroads, or whatever. And I don’t want to change the “entire app“ setting. Just that one time.…

one button submit police so you don't have to look at phone more than once
Why in the world do you have to click three buttons to submit spotting the police???
That's three times I'm taking my attention off the road. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.
Need one-press submit so you can get your attention back on the road immediately.

Add a traffic bar to map
Have a "Traffic Bar" that appear in the routes screen overlayed on the main map.
add a car to the bar that moves along with your journeys completion.
So when you are 85 percent home, the car has moved 85 percent up the bar.Also when the Bar-Car (Maybe we should think of a better name) gets near an event an audible alert gets triggered, like when you near a Cop it could say “Oh cock, its the Rozzers!” Or just “Police reported ahead”) Or when you are near a obstacle on road you could be warned – e.g. “Johnny…

current position
Some cases when the road not even exits, its impossible to add a position, so using the GPS, you can add current position like home or Job.

Route choice
Hello, would it be possible to add choices of route type, for example shortest or fastest. Cause now it's not clear how he tries to lead us and lately it seems it's not logical at all. For example, I was driving through Autobahn in night, where I can drive on 140km/h but waze taught it would be a great idea to change this route to a small forest road that has a 30 km/h speed limit with bumps on road.

Using previous traffic accidents to highlight dangerous corners, junctions and roads to warn drivers.
Maybe highlighting areas in red where there’s high accident rates or even putting a bouquet of flowers or something as a symbol for a previous road death. Making drivers more wary when entering a dangerous corner, junctions etc.

Add mile markers to client maps
I travel on a lot of open stretches and would like to see an option for mile markers on waze maps. If no per mile, maybe every 5 miles or so. Good to sync the maps and also nice if someone were to need assistance along a desolate road with no references. In which case, you could scroll along the map to see which mile marker you were closest to.

Can we please have a way to flag roads as traffic calmed?
Waze repeatedly tries to direct me onto roads that have traffic calming humps, which wears out my suspension & throws my tracking out. I'd like for there to be a way to flag up roads as traffic calmed in the map editor and for there to be an option "Avoid traffic calming". People with SUVs can carry on driving over the humps but folks like myself who like a stiffened, lowered suspension would be very thankful to avoid the almost off-road experience these measures create.

The word "object" should be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable (the noun), not the second syllable (the verb).
Today waze told me there was an obJECT in the road ahead.

Show unpaved roads differently in-app
In the app, unpaved/dirt roads appear identical to other segments of the same type. It may be helpful for users to tell when a segment of street is unpaved, while navigating. Maybe the segment could be 'speckled' or 'hashed'.

Under Reporting/Police - Rather than 2 options visible and invisible, how about one for pacing or rolling too
Allow users to say a police car is traveling along the highway/road rather than pinning it to one location.

Display intermediate route, Overlapping road section
Hasznos lenne, ha a köztes célt kiválasztva megkülönböztetné a köztes cél és a végcél jelölését addig míg a köztes célten túl nem haladtunk. Pl. szaggatott vonal. Ez akkor probléma, ha koztescélig vezető út keresztezi az onnan elvezető útvonalat. Egyirányú utak vagy más miatt.

Show roads with raised structures with navigation options to avoid those roads
Exactly as the title states. Users can report a road as being under construction with raised structures. In route options, uses have the ability to avoid roads that are under construction.

Select duration when reporting
When we report something (like in danger category) we should be able to specify the duration. Example, I have reported construction on the road and 1 hour later, it was not there anymore. This site will be in construction for the next month, I would I could set it to show for a while!!!

Allow private road closure reports when report limit hit
I had a problem trying to get home during a bad flood event. There were a lot of closed roads which Waze tried to send me down and eventually I got the “Too many reports” message (which I assume is to avoid abuse), so I wasn’t able to map a route home as Waze still tried to direct me through closed roads.
To avoid this, when a report limit is hit, why not allow reports to be made that are only visible to me?
That way I would still be able to map a route that works and…1 vote -
When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjus
When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjust the timing of the alert announcement to give more time to warn of what is ahead ?

Store reports created offline for short period. I.E. Police reports and accidents, see comments
I travel a lot in weak cell service areas on major interstates. I will see an accident or Police situation when I have GPS but not network it says sorry you can't report do it later. However it might be 5 or 10 miles down the road before I can then the event isn't in the right location. Suggest storing the location information along with the time so that when network returns it can be posted.
