Add option to display SpeedTraps on main screen without having to use menu.
Add in the settings an option to display "Speed Trap" info on main screen. This would display in either the title bar or on the main screen and would have an icon with two numbers: A red number that indicates the # of speedtraps on your route, and a Yellow number that indicates the # of speedtraps not on the route. This would be very useful because speedtraps move (police pull someone over and then sit in new spot), so it helps to have more advanced notice that police are in the area.
64 votesThank you for your suggestion. It was discussed internally and while it will not be taken forward at this time it will definitely be considered during future discussions.

Route Preview Option
You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

Receive warnings from the Waze app even though there's no specific navigation has been started
Waze app should provide warnings even though there's no specific navigation has been stared. One use case is driving in the hometown where no navigation is needed but warnings desired (e.g for the speed cameras)

Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.21 votesWe plan to work on th Brief instructions Option in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Variable distance until off-ramp
When on a 4, 5, or 6 lane highway, traveling at highway speeds in the left lane, in moderate or congested traffic in the left lane, I really need more than 1 mile notice of an offramp. So it'd be nice if either (a) the distance to a turn was related to speed (e.g., at 25 miles an hour, a mile notice is good, but at 65 miles an hour a three mile notice would be better) AND/OR (b) users having the ability to set the distance that they want turn-notices to be announced.

maximum one report per X miles
Hi there,
Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.
In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))
But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs
The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...Specifically things like:
"Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot"Speed Sign Data"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data"Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Customized AUDIO alerts for Plan a trip notifications
I have a smart phone with multiple applications that I get alerts from and it would be nice to have a customizable audio alert for Waze for when trips are planned. Nothing crazy may be like a “beep beep” to notify the user that based on their alert settings that the plan tripped time is coming up. Have an alert to differentiate that Waze from any other alert from another app. Please, no round file, it’s a good idea. Thx.

Traffic Simulation For Wazers To Work Together To Improve Traffic
Make a simulation to see what traffic would be like if either everybody abided by the laws OR people worked together to go a "Waze assisted" speed to improve traffic flow for others (for instance, speed up or slow down according to upcoming traffic information to help maintain traffic flow together). It could also tell you how many people/wazers you would affect, positively, from the actions you take.

End traffic jam automatically
Have Waze detect when you've been traveling close to the speed limit for a while and mark the point you starting driving faster as the end of the traffic jam.

Allow us to add or remove speed cameras
We should be allowed to add speeding cameras. I live in DC and the mayor adds and move cameras constantly. it’s new cameras everywhere and they aren’t on Waze. It’s no option to add them. So it doesn’t help me if I see a camera and I cannot warn others of a camera that has been added. That should be changed. We can add traffic and other hazards why not cameras too.

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...

Add low-speed vehicle (LSV) option
LSV are allowed to drive on road not exceeding 35 mph. It would be useful to navigate only on these roads from point A to B.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…282 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.

Enforcement trailer
Germany and parts of Europe experience a whole new kind of speed cameras since a year or so, the so-called "enforcement trailers".
Since two months these are used on the german Autobahn on a regular basis.
The trailers are moved from place to place and stay there for up to two weeks. The places are used recurrent, e.g. there are 40 places in North Rhine Westfalia and 10 trailers, every place get's a trailer once in a while.Marking them as mobile speed camera is useless, since they always disappear because of the low waze usage in germany.
Marking them…5 votes -
Money and points.
While using Waze i would like to see on aplication display ,in the left side just over the speed limit ,how many point on my licence and money i have to pay if i will brake the speed limit.
I think it will be interesting for many people to see the "punishment"for breaking the law.
Thanks.6 votes -

I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h
I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h, since the ETA is necessarily calculated with speed max of each roads, with my car on a highway (130km/h) the ETA is wrong, would it be possible to set a maximum speed for my vehicle ?
