Display time stamp for waze recorded traffic.
It would be nice to see how long ago waze recorded the traffic(speed of a user). Waze tried to reroute me because it said there was traffic ahead, but I continued and where it showed red on the map, there was no traffic at all.

A time stamp of when a report was reported, so that the driver can see when the last reported time was of the incident to be more up to date.

It would be great if the reports ahead list events were timestamped. In other words if each and every event also listed what time it was reported at. This is crucial because Waze isn't fast enough in integrating data into how it calculates routes, in particular if those times are close to rush hour times. For example, leaving work at 6pm the route Waze calculates is quite inaccurate because it's still taking into account all the 5-5:30pm traffic reports. By putting the time on events in the reports ahead list I can, at a glance, see which reports are credible and which are most likely outdated. Currently my only option is to scroll around the screen and click every report one by one to see the time it was reported.

Its really annoying to see a reported accident and trying to figure out whether it's from minutes ago or if its out-of-date. I wholly agree with this idea, however I dont think Waze is listening anymore, or if they are, they never plan on implementing this simple feature of technology.
