highlight traffic jams
Better highlight of traffic jams on the map. AT the moment, it seems impossible to see an upcoming jam when Waze is following a route. The route track overlays the jam indication of the maps and the whole thing is not very visible. Make it clearer by making introducing stripes, checkerboards or whatever.

Improved reporting of wrong speed limits
When reporting a wrong speed limit, for suggestable speed limits the current speed fractionable by 5 above and below should be available as selection. Driving at proper speed that would easily allow to report the correct speed.

Waze to initiate pre-determined reply to texts when driving
I want waze to initiate a pre-determined text reply automatically when I am driving, note automatically, so it switches on and off according to when I am driving using Waze. I would set my reply to say: "I'm driving at the moment so please call me as I can't read your texts but can speak to you using bluetooth. This text has been sent to you by Waze navigation app."

No alerta ZONAS PELIGROSAS
Considero importante que en el trayecto durante la navegación evite transitar por ZONAS PELIGROSAS (ZP) ya que cuando uno no conoce la zona por la que transita se encuentra que, guiado x el gps, termina pasando por asentamientos q resultan peligrosos. Al menos, opino que la aplicación podría avisar que durante el trayecto se va a transitar por una Zona Peligrosa para uno poder elegir si desea cambiar el trayecto.

Posibilidad de marcar en el mapa, los reductores de velocidad más grandes (túmulos)
En las calles y carreteras de los países de América Central, es común que haya reductores de velocidad de gran tamaño. Sería interesante poder marcarlos en el mapa.
11 votesWe plan to work on reporting the speed bumps in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Indicate toll roads on main navigation screen
Because a tiny icon in the route summary doesn't cut it and is often missed!
Also ability to show (in route summary) the cost and payment methods (cash, card, NFC, NPR, etc) of the toll road so you can plan ahead.

voices
Allow developers to add their own created voices to the database and sell their creations on the open market with Waze taking a portion of the profits.

boston accent
You should have a boston accent choice. Just make sure it's actually someone from here doing the accent. Then you could add accents from other states as well.

Stop using the word "Accident" completely.
Crashes are not accidents. The NHTSA has stopped using the word accident in all communications. So have many state highway patrols, and local police. So has the medical profession. Please stop using "accident" on Waze, and instead use crash or collision. Accidents are quite rare, and the word is far to subjective to be using like this.

Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox…

Bring back the report list on iOS!!
Please bring back the list of reports on iOS!!! I used to use that option all of the time, to decide which route I was going to take or see what I needed to watch out for, before I set out. Now I can only see what's going on when i set a route in the car to leave, which defeats my purpose of analyzing which way to go. I like to do this before i set out. Not the last second as I'm ready to drive. I use waze to travel long distances and I can't get a good…

Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find…

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Configurable sound outputs in Android App
Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:
In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.
My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.
Output sound to:
[ ] Speaker/headphones
( ) Speaker OR headphones…11 votes -
restrictions on canceling reports
It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.
For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King…

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.
