add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

Semaphores
Waze could have an algorithm to detect where are the semaphores in the city, and keep how long they take to open, to avoid the semaphores that take longer.
There are some semaphores in São Paulo that take too long to open. It would be very useful to avoid them.5 votes -

Waze should reroute my drive when there is a accident and major backup, right? But it does not. Do I have a setting not setup correctly?

provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.
This is needed in two scenarios:
When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in the same…

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

Please consider adding the number of drivers to the traffic speed display. The greater number of drivers the greater the confidence in the speed displayed. Conversely if a speed along a corridor is based on only a few drivers the accuracy is questionable.

AI Pothole & Speed Bump Detection via Phone Sensors (Waze for Cities)
I submitted this exact concept to Google a long time ago, but no action was taken. I am bringing it here today because Waze is the perfect platform to finally make this happen.Waze should implement passive, background telemetry analysis using the smartphone's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. An AI algorithm can easily recognize the distinct physical patterns of hitting a pothole or crossing a speed bump. To eliminate false positives, the system would require data aggregation: if multiple users register the same vertical impact at the exact same GPS coordinates, the map should automatically generate a hazard annotation.Once these hazards are…

Add a detailed preview for roundabouts
I saw this feature in some map app online, so when heading to a roundabout, just like what waze does, a popup will show on the top of the screen and showing a simple symbol to tell which exit we should take. What about having a detailed preview showing a birdseye view on the roundabout and showing the exact route i.e. what lane and exit show take instead of simple symbol and exit name?

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

Marco quilométrico em Rodovias (Kilometer Marker on Highways)
Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway. Clicking on this pin would provide the following fields to fill in: Highway, Kilometer, Direction. Up to two highways could be added to each pin, with the "Direction" field being optional and the other two mandatory.
In the application, when driving on the highway, in addition to the highway emblem (which is already visible), the respective kilometer marker of the main highway added to the WME kilometer marker would also appear next to it. Thus, when driving on highways, we would visually know which kilometer…

In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.

Proactive Fuel Station Suggestion
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a feature that proactively recommends nearby gas stations after the user has traveled a certain distance, which can be set by the user.
During long trips, drivers may not always keep track of their fuel level or may forget to refuel in time. This can lead to inconvenient or even risky situations, especially when traveling through areas with limited fuel station availability.
By allowing users to define a distance threshold (e.g., after driving X kilometers), Waze could automatically suggest the nearest gas stations along the route. This would give drivers more…

Serait il possible d'ajouter un mode "caravane" ? La vitesse et la durée du trajet ne sont pas les mêmes que sans.
