What a wonderful new feature it would be for Waze to add an upcoming train alert on the driver's route ahead. There are some local or regional train locater apps and an apparently national one by the Federal Railroad Administration (FDA), which I just downloaded. Not sure whether this app will notify me proactively, or just tell me what I already know as I sit stewing in a line at the railroad crossing waiting for the train to pass.

Adding this function in Waze, in a way that gives enough advance notice to reroute, if desired, would be super helpful and negate the need to use yet another driving-related app. Maybe the FDA, which apparently is a taxpayer-funded agency, will allow you to use their API. Please get on this, Waze development team!

Train at crossing info would be very helpful for rerouting or notice of delay

It would be helpful if we could report trains that are blocking the tracks. Sometimes this creates a significant delay that requires rerouting BEFORE we are stuck in that traffic.

Waze currently has rail road crossing however, serval state DOT have asked to include live train GPS data into waze to allow for an “ train approaching “ warning this would ensure safety and help with the areas that have no train horn requirements.

I live in an area with A TON of railroad crossings and being able to report a stopped train would be an amazing feature to prevent me and many other wazers from being late!! Please add this reporting option! 😊

It would be cool to see such an option. Until I saw no change in the waze, or maybe I hadn't ridden a car in a long time. I really use the train very often because I like to enjoy the journey to work and back. To look out the train window so melancholy and make plans for the future. That's so nice. I live in Germany and here traveling by train is an enormous pleasure. The train comes at the exact time; you have just to order tickets online from https://www.oebbfahrplan.com/de/

A way to tag train track crossing as blocked with cascade up/down track to route to an over or underpass

Please add a Train - Active and Train - Inactive option. Active means it is currently moving and Inactive means it is at a standstill. Or some variation of this. In our travel to work it makes a huge difference in time if we know which way to
go because of a train present.

Waze could know when a train is blocking the road ONLY if a Wazer was there to report it. In other words, most intersection blocks would go unreported, therefore not notified.

A good work around for now might be to enter a (standstill) traffic at that spot.

Notify when a train is actually across the track, blocking the intersection, and suggest alternate routs

Create a button so that when you arrive at a railroad crossing and a train is crossing, you can alert other Wazers and they can go a different route instead of being stuck at the crossing like I was :)

I would like to see an alert for stopped trains blocking busy intersections.

Have a feature that lets you alert others a train is crossing and then change back when the train has passed. I’ve had several instances where being stuck by a train has caused MAJOR issues getting to school/work.

Ideally, when the warning signal starts and sometimes the blocking arms drop down, grab that signal with internet of things LoRa sensor. The road is closed. Then signal opens up and road is open.

It should be possible for people to report if a train is currently on a railroad crossing and when the train has successfully passed. This would be very helpful for others to select a new route and not get stuck waiting for a train.

Let us know when there is a train crossing the railroad tracks. Make it an option for people to report. I live in a city with a ton of active tracks, I can lose 10+ min by the length of current trains, they are insanely long.

The trick for closing adjacent crossings will be knowing which direction the train is traveling....

The updated waze app now alerts to railroad crossings up ahead. What would be a another great feature to have is for it to alert when a freight train is currently passing thru the railroad crossing at that moment!

I like to be able to Report to Others when I am at a stand still while the Train is Moving.
