Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox to avoid the area in routes.
That way, Waze won't constantly try to send me through the prime carjacking area in my city every time I go home. That would be nice.

Routine Commute Advance Monitoring and Warning
I have a couple of routine, weekday commutes, to and from work. I think it would be beneficial if I could plug in my routine, target arrival times and monitor my commute in advance of my departure. For example, if I need to arrive at home by 6 to pick up kids for a typical 35 minute commute it would start monitoring my commute 1.5 hours or so ahead. If there is a significant delay it would notify me in advance of my typical departure to pay attention early to the commute. I think this would be beneficial in cases of routine commutes when people (often parents) need to arrive at a place at a regular time.
For a morning Home to Work commute this would also be helpful to give people warning to quicken their departure from home if traffic starts bunching up earlier than normal.

Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find a way of synchronizing points and levels achieved across all Waze servers.

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

Gostaria que avaliassem a possibilidade de colocar rotas por locais mais seguros, ou seja, que não passássemos por locais onde há assaltos.
Gostaria que avaliassem a possibilidade de colocar rotas por locais mais seguros, ou seja, que não passássemos por locais onde há assaltos. Poderia have uma atualização uma vez ao mes, bastaria para isso ter uma pessoa atenta aos locais de assaltos e/ou arrastões, em determinados horários, não necessitaria ser em real-time. Infelizmente vivemos em um país cada vez mais violento. Por exemplo, O Heliópolis, a Av, Giovani Grunch, etc.

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

map legend
How about a map legend (or explanation)? I'm not sure what some of the symbols (like the red-and-white striped bar) mean, or how the road colors are defined

Roadside assistance
Add an option for drivers to report they need roadside assistance and drivers on route will get a notification on the matter.
The assistance could be anything from help changing a tire or the need of jumper cables etc... I also think that a good incentive is to give waze points to drivers who stop and help...
Really think this is an easy to do update that will help people in need (the whole point of waze is a social navigation app...)10 votes -

Bom dia
Sou de São Paulo, Brasil. Na minha cidade existe o rodizio de veículos, sendo de acordo com o final da placa dos carros.
Dependendo do dia da semana, o veículo não pode trafegar na area de rodizio.
Seria legal o waze ao traçar uma rota para o usuario, sugerir a opção de fazer o trajeto desviando da área de rodízio.
Esse recurso o waze ainda nao propcia.
Obrigado,

Add Shazam to the Waze app
I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?
Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and mapping app! Happy New year!

Allow me to delete the hazard "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" without deleting all hazards
You need to be able to split which road hazards you want or don't want. I would kill to be able to stop being told about a vehicle on the shoulder but still be able to know about other hazards. Seriously, if the vehicle is on the shoulder it isn't a hazard.

Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt
It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:
Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
Arrives at destination
Is in traffic
Shares route
Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destinationLogs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.
This way everybody could easily make rules like
log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.
Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.
Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.
Or, when destination is {volleybal} share drive with {team members}
