Waze Prevenido
Waze debería tener en las alertas cuando pasa algo, ejemplo un robo en un sector peligroso o en las rutas colocar un color que signifique con precaución, ya que a veces el da rutas muy rápidas pero el sector por donde envía es de tolerancia.

(Re)-Add a Flemish Voice
Apparently Google has removed Ellen (Flemish) voice because she was previously provided through Nuance. Google currently doesn't own/have a Flemish voice. Since Waze is owned by google this means we currently don't have a Flemish voice. So I ask if you guys could please ask for our flemish voice back. She is really missed :( FLEMISH ≠ DUTCH

אפליקציית חניונים בוויז
בלחיצת כפתור בוויז יכוון אותנו לחניונים פנויים באיזור שלנו לפי מחיר ומרחק ממיקומינו. רוב החניונים כבר מחוברים למערכת מרכזית שיודעת תפוסה כך שזה לא ניראה לי מסובך מידי
16 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

use past traffic statistics when calculating routes
waze could save statistics about average time it takes to pass each street at different times of the day (but only on work days - not vacations or weekends where traffic patterns are different). this past statistics can be valuable when routing - today, waze could lead me through areas that are more congestion prone since at the moment these areas are quite vacant. using past statistics when routing would show that by the time I'll get to these areas, there'll probably be a congestion so other paths might be better.

Include a railroad crossing information on map
Include a railroad crossing information on map will permit drivers to see where a road cross a railroad and the route machine may calculate a delay when a railroad crossing exists.

Ability to select different text scale.
The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

Create your own waze character(mood)
Create your own waze character I think in keeping the same "waze" concept just more variety, so if it were rush hour with Hazards everywhere I could actually find my spouse in the traffic jam by a little something different

Time-based Map Topology
In Washington, DC specifically, and in other cities around the United States (and probably around the world), certain turns are illegal between 7:00-9:30 am or 4:00-6:30 pm. More challenging, Rock Creek Park - a major commuter route that is often utilized by Waze - allows southbound traffic only between 7:00-9:30 am on mon-fri, and northbound traffic only between 4:00-6:30 pm on mon-fri. Waze is unable to factor in these restrictions, and becomes of limited usability during these times. Its really frustrating for me, and my partner. Please, please, please fix this? I'm afraid one of our phones might go flying…

adjust hazard reporting to include where the problem is, IE left Shu
Location of Hazard/Accident: It would be extremely helpful to be able to identify where a Hazard or Accident is IE: Left or Right Shoulder, Left or Right Lane or Center lane. This would allow wazers to adjust there positioning on the road to get through the problem area quicker by knowing to stay on the opposite side of where the problem has been reported.

Locking against editing sucks
The locking against editing of streets is very annoying. On my way to work (about 30km) i found more than 10 errors, and very often I'm not allowed to correct them. It is too complicated to set an unlock request before being allowed to edit. So how can your maps improve if the normal user is not able to correct map errors?

way to tell waze I'm in the other parallel road
Sometimes waze tells me to enter the highway when it has heavy traffic and the service road I am is much faster. Then I disobey him, but it thinks I'm in the highway and keeps collection wrong data.
I think we you could have an option that when enabled and waze can't be sure in which of 2 parallel roads I am, I could tell him he got it wrong.
It must be a single touch in the screen to alternate between the roads, because I would be driving when it happens.
This way I would generate better data for…

Fuel efficiency
It would be a neat feature if you can enter in your odometer reading, and gas volume purchased, and every gas up you could bring up your miles/gal (or km/l). You can also tie in with gas prices to get a $/mile. You can also include a stat on the amount of CO2 released per mile.

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road. Another…

Feature Suggestion: Truck & Travel Trailer Routing Mode.
Hi Waze team! It would be incredibly helpful to add a dedicated routing option for trucks towing travel trailers. This feature could generate safe routes that account for:
- 🚫 Avoiding sharp or narrow right turns
- 🚧 Identifying height restrictions and bridge clearances
- 🛑 Bypassing roads with trailer or truck limitations
This would go a long way in improving safety and convenience for recreational drivers and towing vehicles. Thanks for considering!15 votes -

update recent / saved drives
A lot of Update Requests come from drivers who are using saved drives for Places that have been updated or changed in the map editor.
Can we make it so after a time period (a month, for instance) the app queries the server for updates when an entry is chosen from the recent/saved drives? Or give a prompt that allows the user to manually update a saved entry, or all entries? "It's been over a month since you've driven here, would you like to see if there have been any changes?"
Also, an option (in the settings or in the…15 votes -
Stacked Lane Guidance
Ability to map "stacked" lane guidance.
A stacked lane is one where you have one lane turning into two. An example I have is here in Calgary AB Canada, we have a rail underpass that you make a right turn onto, but there is a median between the two lanes (its a one-way) and you need to be is the farthest lane access the left turn at the other side of the rail underpass.
And right now, we don't have the ability to show that the first right lane is "stacked lanes"
