report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Waze can put Road view into the GPS so that we could know which is the Exit in the Highway. I saw other such as Garmin and Papago did.
Waze could put road view like example if theres 2 exits, a picture of the roads could appear With an arrow to should which road so we wont miss out.

say im at a red light
My idea is for the waze app. I was using my waze and while I was driving and I stopped at a stop light. Waze asked me if I was stuck in traffic cause it noticed that I'm not moving and it doesn't let me say ithat im stuck at a red light.
Thank you for your time.2 votes -
Allow the use of bluetooth controls while Waze is in the foreground.
When Waze is running in the foreground, my bluetooth controls don't work. So I have to do a whole bunch of on-screen gymnastics just to skip to the next track in my queue. This is potentially dangerous while driving. I should be able to use the button on my steering wheel. (It works fine when Waze isn't running.)

camera first
As a user option, allow me to open camera immediately upon press of REPORT button (as opposed to choosing the report type). This way the photo op won't be gone by the time I fumble through the type of report to submit. After photo is taken, I'll choose the report type, type in the details, and submit everything.

Send location to others should default to user preferences. Such as always SMS
The option now adds extra steps for users. Most users always use text so why pull up all options available to share location?

roundabout auto-creation
Roundabouts are built everyday nowadays and no aerial map can be up-to-date enough to reflect all of them. I propose that whenever 1 or several drivers describe a (full or not) circle with his vehicle, a roundabout gets automatically created. The number of drivers needed and the percentage of the circle which has to be described are up to you guys... =)

Report thanking details
When thanked for a report, it doesn't specify which report was thanked. Can we get more details of the report that was thanked in the inbox?

Use Waze to help fight traffic by including tips encouraging the Zipper Merge (merging every other car), not rubber necking, etc.
It seems like a lot of people don't know how to merge. So you're forced to wait for a gap or force your way into a lane. Waze could be very helpful to build better driving habits. These tips could be sent via message or when the app is opened.

Ford Sync integration
Later this year, Ford will release the APIs for integrating apps with vehicles that have Sync. Waze could use the vehicle's on-board GPS, speedometer, and other data instead of running the phone's GPS.

On this waze version, a new icon ( add friends...) located on the close to bottom right of the screen partially hides the speed meter.
Either get rid of this almost useless icon or at least move it up in such a way it does not overlap the speed indicator

Reporting of traffic jams in filter lanes or turning lanes
Hi, many times while driving on the highway I would pass a filter lane or turning lane at a traffic light that is extremely long. I would like to be able to report this so other users who might be coming up to the turning lane would know its present status and can decide if they want to continue there or go to another turn off. Currently, I can only flag whether there is traffic on the "main road" that I am traveling on.

Beacon
I am a cyclist and I would love to be able to put my phone in a beacon mode which will allow users of this app to be notified when I am close by. This concept could be used for runners, walkers, bikers, and any other activity that is near or on roadways.
