Viewing Alternate Routes
Bring back the ability for users to view alternate routes on their phone. Right now I can only view alternate routes using my car display. Why? I often want to plan my route before getting in the car. Why are you forcing users to be in the vehicle to plan their route?

Lowered Cars
The concept is a Low-Clearance Vehicle Mode that would:
• Detect and report hazards such as potholes, bumps, debris, and flooding in real time.
• Allow users to submit hazard reports as they encounter them, similar to Waze’s current system for reporting police, accidents, or traffic jams.
• Provide alternative routes to avoid potential damage to vehicles, especially on streets, bridges, or parking areas with low clearance.
• Integrate crowd-sourced data to keep the map continuously updated for low-clearance vehicle drivers.This feature could enhance Waze’s reputation as the most comprehensive navigation app while addressing a currently underserved market of…

SPLIT: I don’t like that others can see my speed
I don’t like that others can see my speed if I use that part of the app so I can watch my speed. Can authorities access that info ever??? Because I do speed sometimes and I don’t want others seeing or recording my speed...

Zone de danger
Bonjour. En france la législation nous interdit de voir la position fixe d'un radar automatique mais elle autorise d'afficher des " zones de danger " . Malheureusement waze n'affiche pas ces zones comme l'application tomtom et l'application coyote. Il faut absolument que waze ajoute ces " zones de danger " !!

One of the Cantonese greeting is wired
For Cantonese version,
When we start the navigation, there are few versions of greeting. One of them is saying “上路”, this is really wired and uncomfortable as this term is told the person who pass away to go on his way to heaven.
There are numbers of Cantonese users get the same feeling.I think your developers may have a misunderstanding on this wording. Please help to remove it.
I have found another recommendation is the same but written in chinese years before. And it has no response for Waze. I try to use English to see if Waze can…

Retrospective (after arrival) information on route time via non-selected routes
This feature would show how long the drive would have taken had i chosen an alternate route. When caught in traffic one often feels I should have taken the other option. This feature would provide information, after arrival at destination, on how one would have fared had another option been selected.

One Way Construction Traffic Control
Warn drivers that traffic in a construction zone is reduced to one way and controlled by Construction Traffic Signals. We have had such a situation that has been ongoing for several months. This is on a major artery and waiting for an editor with the appropriate level could be counter productive.
A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level

Reportar problema por voz
Para facilitar a reportagem de problemas enquanto se dirige, sugiro que a comunicação possa ser feita por voz, evitando que o motorista precise pesquisar na tela o tipo de problema. Por exemplo, o motorista falaria: “Hy Waze!” - o software Waze ficaria ativo para receber um comando e responderia:”Sim?”) - e então, o motorista daria o comando de voz desejado.

Push the start date limit for road closures an extra month in the future
Right now, map editors can place road closures at most one year in advance. When an event ends, they often announce next year's date. It would be handy if we could add those closures at that point, even if the event will take place like a weekend later next year. Now, we often have to set a reminder to add these next week or so. Therefore, I'd like to propose this limit gets pushed one extra month in the future, making the limit 12+1 months. It might be best to adjust this limit for some other related things, such as…

Emergency vehicle
Clicking/ reporting for an emergency vehicle should be for stopped emergency vehicles and accidents.
It drives me crazy when people are clicking emergency vehicle just because they are passing by which is NOT helpful. This is apparently unclear. Would you kindly make a post that populates with the next update to inform wazers not to click for non-stopped emergency vehicles?11 votes -
Hazzard confirmation UI
While driving it's very hard to use the Yes/No buttons, while paying attention to the road and hazzard that was just announced. I would suggest a large control with swipe left/right, that is easy to use without looking at the phone screen for long, and without trying to be very precise with your fingers on the screen. You could still split it in two areas, so a click on the left or right still work as Yes/No, just to avoid annoying users that are accustomed with the current UI. As it is now, I only use those buttons when I'm…

Customizable Speeding Alert Sounds
Please consider allowing users to customize the sound when a user exceeds the selected speed limit threshold. The beep the app makes is too quiet and easy to miss. A customizable sound/volume or an audible alert of "Speed Threshold Exceeded" would be useful for users who desire the alert to opt into.

Reportar y/o responder a incidencias en manos libres
Creo que sería adecuado que, diciendo una palabra clave (como por ejemplo en Google, hi google) se activara el sistema para poder introducir las incidencias en carretera, o afirmar o negar si sigue la incidencia reportada, por parte del conductor. Tipo manos libres. Así se puede participar mientras va una persona sola en el vehículo
