Train crossings and train stoppage.
Okay, I thought your app had everything until today. I ran into a slow train crossing. This is a difficult one because trains are there and then not there. I would like the ability to report trains and maybe speed/length in general terms. Then there are the trains that just stop on the crossing for an extended amount of time. Those would be very helpful to report. But, at least being able to report the train is crossing and direction of movement will help people I think.
Railroad crossing alerts are now available in Waze.

I live by multiple train crossings and would love this feature. A reroute and a calculation on average time for a train would be helpful.

I live near multiple train crossings. I agree with Todd's suggestion. I get stuck at trains that have totally stopped on the track. Sometimes they are there for 30 minutes or more. It would be very helpful to know when I should reroute a different way.

Bylo by fajn, když už jsou na navigaci vidět železniční přejezdy, aby byly také vidět přijíždějící vlaky. Připojit Waze s jízdním řádem vlaků. Někdy nefunguje signalizace na přehledech a i kdyby to pomohlo 1 člověku, tak to možná stojí za to. Nebo ne?

A train icon in traffic icons would be so helpful.

Just by penalizing routes with a train cross with say... 5 minutes should be enough. No need to know the train schedule, that will effectively choose bridges or tunnels instead unless they are really packed

Trains should be relatively predictable after having a few people report a train waze should predict down to the half hour

I live near several level train crossings - a feature to account for trains needs to be added. I really like Todd's idea.

It will be really helpfull to have the possibility to set the option to avoid train crossing. Even if the route is the fastest sometimes if the level crossing is closed you loose a lot of time!

Just marking on the map that it is a train crossing would suit me, possibly the type of crossing, lights, gates flat or on a hill maybe some crossings aren't gated but just have lights. So would be useful to know!
Could report crossing in use crossing disused?

Could really use this kind of feature. Invariably, the fastest routes seem to be the ones that cross the railroad tracks directly. With only a couple of tunnels under the tracks and a bridge or two over the tracks, getting to work on time can be a major issue. If GPSing trains is not possible, is there a way that presumed train schedules could be taken into account when navigating? At least the AI could have a decent shot at telling us to take a bridge route.

Really need this!
I live in Houston, TX and despite being "only" 3rd largest in population, we are the largest geographically and still have mosty street level train tracks. The delay can easily be 20 minutes and some off these crossings have trains passing once an hour. Vital to know when to detour....
A real time update as to when the crossing clears would make this a very powerful feature. -

I work by a train station and exactly what she said, happens. They will sit there for 20 mins, sometimes even longer. So it would be great if those were reported, that way I can take a better route to work! I have been late many times because of the train. They do this MANY times a day! This would be helpful!

Please add train in the traffic category. Maybe you can be automatically remove the report a min after the person who reported the train moves pass the crossing.
