The dependence of the color bands of the route from traffic jams
When driving on the lane route, the route covers the color strip road on which it runs. It is not clear, red or yellow road. Propose to change the hue (color) of the band route, depending on the color of the road on which it runs.

user provided layout themes
There are various requests for features of what Waze should/should not display on screen. It would be great if users could instead of just choosing a style, actually choose a (or create) a layout that another user has selected.
Best option would be to provide the ablity to give shapes, and areas that can contain text. Eg.
- Current speed (can then increase/decrease the speed display)
- Average wazer speed on the current segment (so the potential speed limits could be shown)
- Current road name
- Text/images for popups
- Destination ETA
- Destination time
- Destination name

Allow more granular control over notifications
I'd love to be able to adjust my notifications a bit more specifically than I can currently. For example, I want to turn off chit-chat notifications, and I'd love to have both an audio and visual notification for red light/speeding cameras, police, and severe traffic.

Ask user on which street he is if GPS accuracy insufficient to determinate it automatically
Sometimes in the beginning of driving or if you driving differently from Wase suggestion Waze can lock on wrong street, if it is two close streets inside GPS accuracy region. I think it will be good if Wase will ask on which street you are exactly if it detects that GPS accuracy is insufficient to determinate it automatically.

Use acceleration sensors to improve navigation
I think it will be good idea to use acceleration sensors to improve navigation when GPS signal is weak. For example in tunnels. Also it may help in situation when GPS accuracy is insufficient. For example to better determination of position in roundabout.

Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.8 votes -
System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even…

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Separate lane sign for public transport
Waze is far long ago navigates with public transport lanes, but still there is no public transport sign in lane editor on the junctions, so it is impossible to place the lane signs on junctions like in the pic. below correctly
I suggest to add additional PT lane sign like this, that will solve the navigation problem and will correctly show the location of PT sign

More UK Voices WITH STREET NAMES
Please give some more options of voices that include street names with differnt UK accents. There are so many variations of accent in the UK and having some more options that still include street names would be amazing! I used to love Kates voice but the new one is so much worse. Please create some more UK voice options!!

Audible Speed Camera Announcements
Audible camera announcements are inconsistent. Why not allow the user to select ‘Announce all known Cameras’?

toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.

Add charger speeds as a search option for EV Charging
As an EV driver I want to search for an EV charging station! When traveling I want to locate a FAST charger. This means it needs to be at least 50kW and ideally over 100kW.
If Waze can add this it’s a game changer and we don’t have to search desperately with our EV charging apps on our phone then come back to Waze to enter the address.7 votes -

differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not
The idea is to differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not. Currently, the app only allows the reporting of police controls without distinguishing between these two aspects. The specific proposal is for the app to allow users to report controls that are strictly traffic-related and, separately, another option to report police controls of a general nature that are not related to traffic.

Floating window on exit
Would like Waze to implement "floating" window on exit. Or atleast have pop up notification of the next direction, like Google maps has. When I close out Waze, I have no way of knowing the next step unless I reopen app.

Speed bump notification
Please can you make speed bumps in a different category so it can be turned off without removing the rest of the hazards. Living in London means I get a speed bump notification every 5 seconds and it’s very distracting when driving. Thanks, Josh
