Add a "police are nearby" feature
Police move frequently. It would be. Nice to know if police were spotted near an area; not necessarily at a specific location. Thanks!

Use road posted speed limits plus user speeds for in route algorythim
This will help find a better route based on posted speed. Also if we could calculate average speed of wayze users in a route area to help adjust for traffic. as in this road has a posting of 50 MPH but average user speed is 25 this equals bad traffic and should re-route to a road that is 35MP with little to no traffic. to set aside from others who do this allow a setting to limite the number of in route routing adjustments. Some may become overwhelmed with to many re-directions on the fly.
The direct route is not…

Mood option for police officers.
I'd like to see a mood option for officers using waze. There would have to be a verification process where you upload a photo ID or something like that so everyone isn't using the icon.

copiloting
I did a few searches and didn't see this posted so here it goes...
Some things are better in pairs. Using Waze with two people, especially on road trips, is a great way to maximize reporting and verification of reports. Unfortunately, the points only go to one Waze account and there's no way for both the driver and copilot to engage their social networks from one device. Adding a copilot feature would help with this scenario. Icons on map could have a copilot designation and both Wazers would be considered online - maybe only the primary account could tie into…

Ambulance / Fire
You have an option to show where police are visible. Please add the option to show where EMS (ambulance / fire / rescue) are visible.
This not only can serve to protect the EMS at a scene, it will also protect motorist coming up to an accident scene.32 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.

Make selected item more clear in iPhone app
When selecting a report type the option selected only slightly changes in color/shade. My phone is mounted to the dash and in daylight I often cannot tell if I have selected an item. Make the shading or color change more dramatic for the selected item e.g. On Road & Construction. I have pressed the button a second time which deselects and this is also a problem

Parking lot prices
Add a way to report parking lot prices and search the cheaper ones, similar to the gas stations prices feature.
17 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!

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Default text/email contact
95% of my journeys that need someone to know when I'll arrive are me commuting from work. It would be great to have a 'speed dial' feature on the map screen to reduce the clicks to tell the missus when I'll be home.

Include an option in 'reports' for school buses. If you get behind a school bus on a long county road making stops, it can be a long delay

report generation to local authorities
It would be a great feature if a master report could be generated daily in major metropolitan areas indicating reports by Wazers regarding potholes, faulty traffic lights etc so that these can be repaired quickly. Alternatively, a program could be made avaliable to them wherby they can monitor selected reports witin their city and dispatch officers or repair crews to sort ouy the problems. This could also be a great Waze marketing tool.

Slow, buggy speech when using Bluetooth/Hands Free
Waze's speech while using bluetooth is filled with long awkward pauses. Often, the speech is unable to complete saying the direction before the next speech event needs to occur. The pauses between speech events are excessively long. This problem only manifests itself when connected to bluetooth audio.
Additionally, the speech is routed through "media player audio" instead of a voice command specific audio event. This means that the vehicle itself must be set to bluetooth audio music streaming rather than listening to the radio. Since the events turn on/off, the bluetooth media option is often unavailable and cannot be activated.
