  1. "Hazard on shoulder" menu should include "Road crew"

    In Massachusetts, road/highway cleanup crews on are always accompanied by a state police or sheriff's van. I would like to report the location of a road crew without having to tag it as a "vehicle stopped on shoulder" or "police visible" because neither of these options is very accurate. Can a "road crew" option please be added to the "Hazard on shoulder" menu?

  2. Expensify integration

    We use Expensify to report our expenses including milage reimbursement. It would be great if the recorded drives could be used in Expensify.

  3. Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road

    Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.

    No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for level…

  4. Allow Menu and Report buttons to be hidden or transparent

    For screens that can suffer from burn-in, the buttons at the bottom of the Android client are very bright and prominent. While I have been lucky that the burn went away on my stock Galaxy S3, it would seem a nice option to be able to modify settings for those buttons. I would think either a "show on tap", or transparent option would be best. Perhaps also changing them to a darker look when in night mode would help too.

  5. Police traffic stop - recording speed

    I would like to see an action that is a button always on the app screen displayed that allows you to capture speed and other information about your location, etc., when you are being pulled over by a police for speeding. Allow the user's to review the data at stop point to know their speeds, lets say 5 minutes prior to pressing the ticket button. Also, email the data to the user's email.

  6. LinkedIn integration for work related friends

    We all know adding work related contacts and friends to Facebook isn't best practice. But when and where do people use Waze the most? Right, driving to and from and during work. Now wouldn't it be a nice feature if Waze supported LinkedIn integration so that your Waze friend list is a combination of Work (LinkedIn) and personal (Facebook) contacts? Well, then vote.

  7. High contrast day & night

    I like the night-time, high contrast colors. None of the daytime color settings have enough contrast. How about a "forever night" setting, or a daytime super-high-contrast option?

  9. Display tunnels as hashed/broken lines

    Tunnels should be displayed on the Waze client as hashed or broken lines.

    Currently, tunnels are displayed on maps almost the same way as roads. This is confusing as you are not exactly sure when to turn, as Waze makes it look like there is another road to pass before you turn. If tunnels were shown to be dramatically different to roads, it would make the navigation experience better for all users.

  10. Ability to declare a suggested route bad

    Sometimes Waze suggests routes that are so bad as to be cringe worthy. It would be nice to to be able to report them for review.

  12. Option to Ignore Construction Zones

    It would be tremendously helpful to have the ability to ignore construction zones/certain stretches of road. And if possible with the option to automatically ignore if speeds are less than a certain threshold.

  13. Add intelligence to traffic jam detection

    Often users parked will cause a false traffic jam to be reported, yet when stuck in traffic it is usual to be crawling or moving occasionally.

    When Waze detects traffic conditions and pops up the question of whether you are in traffic please change the default response dependant on whether the vehicle has been moving or not. If it has been totally stationary please set default response to 'No' as in a total traffic jam the driver will most likely spot the dialogue, only use 'Yes' as the default action when there has been some movement which is much more…

  14. Interchange guidance method in ver. 2.2 is wrong. Revert to 2.0 method.

    In version 2.2 (Android & iPhone) the written guidance in interchanges was changed. It tries to look-ahead and gives guidance based on the ramp exiting the interchange.
    This is inconsistent with the way guidance worked in version 2.0 and therefore inconsistent with the ramp's naming in the Waze map. It leads to confusing guidance that does not match the actual road signs.
    This is really dangerous as it increases drivers' confusion in the interchange.
    Please revert the guidance method to the way it was in version 2.0

  15. Location and type of landmark in search results

    For easier identification of a landmark, it could be great, to know the settlement or road which is near it and the type of the landmark, after the name of the landmark, like this:
    Shell, Somecity/Route66 (Gas station)

  16. Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events

    Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events, similar to "police/not here". This would allow to refresh the reports in the map by other drivers, provide more 'live' info + quicker cancellation of outdated events.

  17. use Android API for event buttons and text input

    to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.

    also text input. there seems to be no…

  18. Differentiate alternative routes from each other by color

    If you display alternative routes while actively navigating/driving, they will all be displayed in the same color. It would be helpful to display each route in a different color for easy differentiation.

  20. Navigation for larger van / lorry or caravan / trailer.

    Many drive in a larger van / lorry or with a caravan / trailer.
    Would it not be possible for you to choose vehicle type and based on size, Waze creates a route where you are not led out on very small roads.
    You can in other navigation systems, such as TomTom Go
