Police helicopter or drone alarm nearby.
In some countries the police use speed radars installed on helicopters or drones. The idea is simple, when a wazer reports that warning it reaches drivers within 15 or 20 kilometers of that report. This would contribute to safer driving.

Blitzer- und Gefahrenmeldungen
In vielen Städten wie Wuppertal veröffentlichen die Behörden wöchentlich Pläne, auf denen die Standorte mobiler Blitzer von Montag bis Freitag angekündigt werden. Mein Vorschlag ist, dass Waze diese offiziellen Daten automatisch integriert, um Nutzer:innen proaktiv zu warnen.
Vorteile:
- Höhere Genauigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit der Blitzerwarnungen durch offizielle Quellen.
- Zeitersparnis für Nutzer:innen, die Blitzer nicht manuell melden müssen.
- Bessere Verkehrssicherheit durch präzise Vorabinformationen.Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten:
1. Kooperation mit Städten, um digitale Pläne (z.B. via API) einzubinden.
2. Automatische Markierung der betroffenen Straßen mit Hinweisen wie:
„Hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit für mobilen Blitzer (Quelle: Stadt Wuppertal)“.Hinweis:
Falls eine automatisierte Integration nicht…2 votes -
Add vehicle on road ahead (currently only offers shoulder option)
Knowing if a vehicle is stopped on the road or on the shoulder is critical. This information could be life-saving. We recommend updating your navigation app to include this feature.

Road Humps, not bumps.
Waze UK calls them Bumps, but they should be called Humps.
Hump is a noun, they are hump shaped, like a humped-back bridge.
Bump is a verb, you can bump into a door, a car can bump into post.2 votes -

Traumatic
Possibly new category of report. "Traumatic" title proceeding current and or new reportable events to alert drivers who may have younger children or sensitive occupants in their vehicles of situations such as accidents or struck wildlife that may be extremely visible to other passing motorists, so the driver can choose to detour and avoid exposure of such traumatic instances to their passengers or their selves.

Minimum Up Time of Cop Notifications
Just encountered this today, November 26, 2024, in South Carolina on I95 going South.
Cops are able to remove themselves from the map within three minutes of posting since they can create multiple accounts.
Since anyone is allowed to remove or say that the cop is “not there,” a new report should have a minimum uptime of 30 minutes after the initial report to let votes rack up confirming the cop is there.
Being deleted after I report it after 3 minutes is insane and prevents the whole purpose of this app.
Let’s do better. Let’s be better.

Pre-Planned Road Closure (Confirm Road Closure or Report a closure as not there)
Although there are posted times for freeway ramp closures, I think someway of also reporting a closure that is not actually there, or even confirming a closure. Through my personal experience this would be super helpful as the exits around my exits add an additional 15-20 minutes to my drive back home. But many times when Waze tells me my exit is closed, but its actually open which can get frustrating.

Screen ui
Instead of tiny buttons to confirm or deny, use a half screen red, half screen green transparent overlay making it possible to answer the alert without looking. It would increase usage and safety to this system.

Rotational speed camera
Where I am we have permanent speed camera emplacements, but only 2 cameras that are rotated throughout these emplacements. It would be nice to be able to alert wazers to the presence of these, as Waze's current policy is to not allow temporary cameras to be mapped.

Report Blocked Lane by Voice
It would be an amazing addition to be able to say "Hey Google, Report Left/Center/Right Lane Blocked" rather than needing to use the on-screen controls as it poses a safety hazard.
I feel as if that would entice users to use the feature more; it's a very beneficial tool to have, allowing you to prepare for the lane chance before it's too late.
That may also help with traffic congestion when everyone is trying to merge into a single lane on interstates.2 votes -
Voice activated hazard reporting
Hi,
I would like to suggest getting,
1. AI technology for self learning and improving maps as in some instances wazers know better routes to that of the waze map.
2. Voice activated controls in reporting hazards - in the UK unfortunately even tapping the phone while driving can lead to prosecution and driving bans. If somehow, waze can be voice activated when reporting hazards or police presence, etc. For example we say, "Hey Google" to activate and request Google assistance.
In waze we already can voice activate destinations through Google assistance.
My point is to avoid touching the phone…2 votes -
Accident Alert
Waze provides alternate routes when approaching an accident which is really helpful. My suggestion is that WAZE “announce”…. ACCIDENT AHEAD, ALTERNATE ROUTE PROVIDED”….this allows us to know why the alternate is being provided. Sometimes we are on the road for long times and get tired. Thank yo.
