  2. Be able to dismiss the traffic alert when traffic is gone

    It happens often to drive through roads where traffic alerts have been reported but gone at the time of driving there. It would be useful to be able to dismiss the traffic reports

  3. Indiquer les temps supplémentaires (delta) sur la carte à chaque croisement/sortie d'autoroute

    Sur un trajet quotidien, les routes alternatives sont souvent connues.
    Quand Waze indique de prendre un autre itinéraire que celui qu'on a l'habitude de faire, il peut être intéressant d'indiquer quel temps supplémentaire on mettrait en restant sur le chemin habituel.
    Une différence (delta) de 1 ou 2 minutes est peut-être sans importance.

    Le trajet alternatif peut manquer de wazer indiquant s'il est viable ou non. Du coup il appartient plutôt au conducteur de décider s'il souhaite l'emprunter ou pas.

    Ce que je suggère est d'indiquer par un nombre sur les routes sortant du trajet défini par Waze le temps…

  4. "Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"

    Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.

    Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they are basically right next to each…

  5. Have an option to use HOV routes or not

    I drive by myself most of the time that I use Waze. Many times two out of the three routes I get are in HOV route. It would be nice if I could opt out of HOV routes and actually have three routes to choose from.

  6. New Waze sucks

    After the redesign Waze no longer routes me properly.
    Was the navigation ruined in the redesign? Give me back my old Waze.

  7. Avoiding Via

    At first step, the purpose of this list (or menu) is:
    Any user to create a list of roads, streets, etc. that will be avoided by them, either by holes (poor maintenance) or Unsafe (crime) preventing Waze of create routes for such via.

    In a second step, the policies and area managers (Waze) create risk zones with respect to crime.

  8. Turn notification before you've passed it!

    This morning I reviewed my route and when I got to a turn I knew I was supposed to take, no notice. So I paused IN TRAFFIC at the turn and nothing. So I drove a few hundred feet, THEN it told me to turn - way past the street. Don't know why it does this sometimes and not others, but it's really frustrating. I don't want to make the turn in the event I've been rerouted because of traffic, but I don't really need to add time to my commute either.

  9. Risk Area Idenfication By Zip Code

    The waze could consider in their paths neighborhoods considered several risk based on ZIP code. Currently, many transportation companies use such resources to make deliveries and considered at risk neighborhoods, deliveries are made with escort.

    The neighborhoods considered at risk or streets could be highlighted with different colors so drivers have to avoid these paths.

  10. Clicking any "All Turns" list item zooms to location (upcoming in route)

    During navigation, there is no short/simple way to look at a location point of your route ahead. Regardless, a simple and low click, logical solution would be to achieve looking at your upcoming route point for traffic purposes (or whatever reason) would be looking at your "All Turns" list (1 click) then one could scroll through all the upcoming turns, select a location (2nd click), and the screen then reverts to your map route, but targeted to view the turn selected on the "All Turns" list. Returning to the original view where the experience started is as simple as pressing…

  11. obd2

    Poderiam adicionar um plugin no Waze para se conectar ao OBD2 para usar a velocidade e a quilometragem real do veiculo, quando dentro de um túnel, ou até quando cai a conexão com o GPS, para poder postar um aviso, já vi carro parado em rota dentro do túnel em local perigoso, existem varios programas de obd2 e os aparelhos bluetooth estão baratos.

  12. Improve starting voice directions

    When setting off from a parking lot I find wave does not give directions left or right when exiting the parking lot. A lot of times I'm left guessing, or having to study the map. It's almost like wave has no idea where it is!

    Once you've made the turn its gets on track.

  14. Miscellaneous Suggestions - Reporting Items Not There and Hazards

    I would suggest having the ability to select reports and mark them as not there. For instance, oncoming traffic reports of speed traps or traffic that have since cleared up but not timed out.

    Also reporting a road hazard of disabled vehicle on the road. Currently there's vehicle on shoulder and you can report an accident on the road. We should be able to note a disabled vehicle blocking one lane.

    Lastly there should be the ability to note in an accident if it's affecting both sides (when EMS responds from both directions and closes lanes), when the road is…

  15. Semaphore optimization of speed, driving time and fuel economy.

    To drive faster and keep fuel try to know the semaphore timing.
    In this case can advise drive slower or faster (if possible) to drive non-stop in the semaphore green corridor, when possible.

  16. Pouvoir désactiver les bulles qui indiquent les noms des rues

    Pouvoir désactiver et/ou réduire les bulles qui indiquent les noms des rues, ça perturbe la vision de la carte routière, c'est très gênant dans les ronds points et carrefours compliqués.

  18. Waze to take electric car battery status into account

    I love using Waze, but ever since I have an electric car I need to switch to the car's own navigation system (which is not so good and efficient as Waze). Reason for doing is the fact that the car navigation takes the car battery status into account and calculates a stop-point to recharge the battery. Waze doesn't do this. Meaning, when I would use Waze I would need to use a second app or platform to check where probably I can or need to re-charge the battery. This is not so convenient. If Waze would be make a suggestion…

  19. Speed traps notifications

    Early notifications about speed traps inform you whenever you are in the area of the speed trap.
    But now, if you are entering the speed trap area at the allowed speed, they don’t inform you about it, even if you are entered at the allowed speed, but increase your speed in this area.
