Voice command reports
Sending reports using short voice commands. For example: "waze danger car side of the road"
Great news! Reporting a vehicle on the side of the road using voice is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

I would like to be able to tell Waze of road problems without looking at my phone or notepad. It would make it much more safe if I did not have to look and then press a button. The whole idea is to be safe behind the wheel and not take eyes off the road. Should be available in IOS and Android.

Just an idea with reporting a police hidden camera & similar “all hands on deck” situation the accuracy of the location report could be a bit delayed as one would have to very carefully navigate through and yet want to report the matter on Waze ! Voice reports can be very handy in a situation like so .

It’s best practice to not touch your phone whilst driving. To avoid this Waze should adopt Voice Recognition Technology allowing you to say Hey Waze Road Works Southbound, Hey Waze huge pothole Northbound outer lane, Hey Waze Mobile Highway Patrol Car Southbound, Hey Waze Foxed Mobile Speed Camera set up, Hey Waze Heavy Traffic Congestion North Bound. Etc conversely the app recognises your GPS location and alerts you 20km in advance to any notifications via the speaker on your phone.

It would be great if you could use voice commands to advert of danger on the road.
Something like: press report, say "vehicle stopped on the road", one audio read back and final audio confirmation.

להוסיף אפשרות לדיווח קולי במקום מלא לחיצות רק בשביל לדווח למשל על רכב שעומד בצד הדרך צריך ללחוץ יותר מדי לחיצות באמצע הנהיגה, הכי טוב להוסיף דיווח קולי לכל משטרה עומסים וכו וגם לקצר את הלחיצות בדיווח הקיים

Voice response capabilities to Waze questions - is car still there? Etc also ability to turn off suggestive destinations. Are you going home?

When Waze gives an alert, I.E., vehicle stopped on the side of the road, driver should be able to give a voice response to the question of if that vehicle is still there.

Absolutely! And add the option to confirm reports with voice commands! It’s difficult to do both by hand while driving, and nearly impossible on a motorcycle

Please give us the option to, show more routes or report accidents etc. using nothing but our voice again like it did with "ok waze", shutting off such a service is dangerous and illegal, this used to work perfectly but now only works trough some sort of google assistance link in the USA only.

Can you add a notification of school zones??

Is there any way to show which lane has heavy traffic? It seems like the whole road will turn red in heavy traffic. You don't really know which lane is backed up unless you are on the road that is backed up.

Audio warning required.
Must apply to stationary traffic on motorway off-ramp as when this tails back onto the motorway (freeway) - suddenly becomes very dangerous. -

Hello,
I think it is quite dangerous to have to use our phone when we are driving to indicate or confirm a danger, accident, police, etc. I think it would be great to be able to let Waze users of anything on the road just by talking to the phone.
Thanks -

It happens some times that you are driving fast in road and suddenly notice that you are very close to a huge traffic jam. In such situation you have to slow down as quickly as possible which can be very dangerous. If Waze informs you before that, it could be very helpful.

Entering hazards while driving causes the driver to become a hazard as one attempts to make the entry on a touch screen and attention is focused on finding the right button(s) to push.

Waze voice control already recognizes traffic reports

"Report heavy traffic"
"Report moderate traffic"Report Police "Report police"
Report Crash (accident) "Report accident"
"Report major accident" -

I don't want the users to touch their phones while driving and still can report traffic jams, hazard etc.
My idea is using voice control to do some of this actions -

Warn cars of upcoming stopped/slow traffic like they do in Germany. Count down amount of miles until expected stop. “Approaching heavy/stopped traffic in 3 miles, 1 mile... 600 feet”... etc.
