  1. you need to add a map button on the map to enable or disable freeway routing. often, a freeway will not be my best route, this would help

    an onscreen button is needed to change from freeways to avoid freeways. Often, I would like to change enroute from freeway to surface roads and it takes many steps to do so. one button to change on or off onscreen would be a big help

  2. Add arrive button

    Sometimes when arriving at very large places, Waze thinks that you arrive only when you are in the front door of the place. Think for example in a mall, the parking lot will be huge, but Waze already traced the route until the front door.
    An "arrive" button will help Waze to understand that you are already at your destination and there is no need to recalculate the route while you are looking for a parking spot

  4. highway wrong direction car alert

    it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
    This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.

  5. Speed limit/autovelox notification when screen off

    It would be great to have a speed limit notification and autovelox with a big pop up (like the speed limit signal 50 km/h) even when the screen is off. Often when the smartphone is connected with bluetooth I cannot hear the speed limit alarm. I'll be always aware of the speed limit and autovelox on my route saving battery!

  6. Offer way for users to edit/correct/identify false reports OR...

    Have a way for users to contest a traffic notice entered by other users. Here in Los Angeles we use a lot of residential streets, especially to get through the canyons. Lately, residents on smaller streets have been adding fake/erroneous notices such as hazards (e.g., construction) or road closures to try to get drivers to take other routes. It would be great if Waze had one of three options: users can delete false reports, users can comment on reports for all users to see (not just the person who reported the issue), or a thumbs down feature so that other…

  7. Time Elapsed

    hope a new version will add "time elapsed" because that's important for us to know how much time we traveled or stuck on bad traffic

  9. Message a license plate

    Hi there. How about if users register their license plates and so we could send "car-to-car" messages?! I see lights left turned on, open cars in parking lots, broken lights etc and with a feature like that I could tell the owner by "messaging his/her car", regardless any other info. Nice, huh?!

  10. Traffic green light forecaster

    How accurately waze could be able to forecast green lights?
    When a wazer gets a green light, she will start moving. If this information is collected from several wazers, would it be enought to gather the traffic light interval and after that forecast next turn-to-green moment?

    If this is possible, the next wazer could be given information if she need to accelerate or decelerate to arrive on greens. Following theses advices, she could get a green wave throught any wazer-populated city ;-)

  13. Alert No Longer There

    I might have missed the feature -if it exists- to report that an Alert is no longer where it is reported. This would be police, accidents, obstacles, etc. On the other hand, the app may have some way to statistically do that; ie if there have been no "thumbs up" for a period of time, the Alert no longer exists.

  14. Danger level routes

    Hi there,
    I love Waze and use it everywhere in the world, mainly Africa and South America where traffic can be hectic... But also dangerous.
    I would love to have the option in Waze to chose a route depending on how dangerous the area to cross is.

  15. Being able to report an incident from anywhere

    I would like the ability to report an incident from anywhere on the map. i.e. If I am driving down the road and I see an accident, but because I am driving, I am not able to report it at that moment. If I pull up to a red light, I would be able to zoom in on the map on the app and report it. I have tried to do this before, but, I just wound up reporting an accident of where I currently was instead of where I was zooming in on the map. I believe this is…

  16. Show current direction and the next direction similar to google maps

    I love using waze but one thing that always annoys me, especially when in areas I am not familiar with, is not knowing what the next direction is until I've completed the first.
    For example, when exiting a highway there is no indication of if you should be turning left or right at the on-ramp until you have gotten close to the end of the ramp. I would find it really helpful if in scenarios like this the directions read "take exit ramp on right and then get in far left lane to take a left" or something similar to…

  19. Eco Bar - Add a bar graph showing how ETA changes if you slow down to help save gas/electricity

    I'd like to see how much longer my trip will take if I slow down by a few miles per hour. Most cars will proportionally consume more fuel the faster they go. Knowing how my ETA will be affected will help slow down a few mph which has many benefits beyond fuel savings. (The request to add a "how will my ETA be affected if I speed up" is a different request and probably will be harder to get past the lawyers... I'd be happy with a little bar graph on the side of the map that shows minutes added…

  20. Falta um buffer para os alertas.

    Olá Wazers!
    Estava na auto estrada de madrugada, com pouco movimento, quando avistei um acidente antes de uma curva na via contrária.
    Os carros do sentido oposto estão em risco iminente.
    Pode ser você com sua família.
    Rapidamente toco o alerta no waze.
    Ele me responde. Sem conexão!
    Passa um Quilômetro, nem isso, a conexão está restabelecida. Toco no alerta e ele vai posicionar na minha pista, sem aviso sonoro para os que estão indo em direção ao desatre.
    E o pior. No lugar errado!
    Sugestão:
    Voltar a opção de alertar em pista contrária.
    Aceitar o geoposicionamento do alerta, registrando…
