Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.
2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going directly across).
3) In addition, a mode for "During rush hour" would be handy for both this and the 'avoid difficult intersections'. Such turns are fine at 1:00am, impossible at 5:00pm.
Now, this sounds like it may present a lot more options, thus confusing some drivers, but if you've ever had the joy of dozens of street turns during rush hour in LA or other severely congested area, you could see it would become life-preserving.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I always keep google maps open on my phone if I use waze on my car so that I get an idea where to turn by looking at the traffic lights/stop symbol on Google maps. This is the major reason I am not always using waze.

Sometimes while I’m using Waze it can be hard to see where the turn is before I pass it. Traffic lights are a good idea to add for turn by turn navigation. Maps as well as Google Maps have added them into their interface and navigation even with voice alerts telling you to “turn at the next light.”

When driving we should see a visible traffic light picture on the map. I think this will give a more precise view of where we are and when to make a turn.

Add traffic lights where they belong as well as stop signs.
Sometimes it is a little difficult to look at how many feet I have left in order to turn, so knowing which light I have to turn at makes it a little bit easier but waze does not have that option they only have red camera lights. I think it would also be a good idea to let wazers know where there is a stop sign because sometimes a tree could be hiding it and someone could take it and cause an accident

In US, show traffic lights on map. It’s very useful feature. Google maps has this feature since 2020.

Show all stop signs and signal lights along route and give us voice directions like “Turn left at the next stop sign onto 5th ave”

I'm so glad a lot of other people are on board with this idea. This would be extremely helpful.

First off, I love Waze! I would maybe suggest adding stoplights into the map. It's much easier turning left at lights as opposed to no lights that has a busy intersection. I try to locate one when I need to turn left but if Waze had that feature, I would just use that. Thank you.

I know intersections by traffice.light or not

Show a traffic light is in the intersection or on the road. Or even a stop sign etc just to indicate that there is one there to be ready.

It would be nice if it was possible for wazers to enter the locations of stop signs, yield signs or traffic lights on any given intersection - or even mark the intersection as completely uncontrolled.
This would help the waze navigation system better discern priority roads when calculating a route.

Should have an icon on maps showing if a traffic light or stop sign is at an intersection.

Please add traffic light’s icons by the intersection’s on the navigation map, it will help the driver’s to understand to roads more properly and drive more Cautiously in the road’s the don’t know.

Add stop signs to local roads while navigating like google maps has

חשבתי גם על כזה דבר רק הוסיף שהחיבור לרמזורים יתבצע רק כשהרמזורים לא עובדים וכך ניתן להציל חיים במיוחד בצמתים גדולים וגם כך ניתן לחסוך את עבודת השוטרים מתפקיד המנווטים של התנועה בשעת תקלה

This is a marvelous suggestion I was about to create, I know our eyes work, but knowing 1/2 a mile away that a stop sign is upcoming would be extremely helpful for safe driving. I am someone who uses the drive safe apps to monitor my acceleration and breaking habits, hard breaks are denoted by de accelerating by 7mph or more per second. My only instances of this is unexpected stop signs from unfamiliar routes or misremembering on my part.
Hard Breaking is dangerous for myself, other drivers, and for those of us who choose to enroll is discount programs with insurance companies. This foreknowledge would build a better community, a safe route, and more $$$ in many of our wallets.
