traffic light sequence
Major cities have synchronized traffic lights.
I'd suggest a couple of Waze features to help drivers make use of these systems:
1. indicate the optimal (real time) speed to "catch" the light sequence and optimize mpg by avoiding stops and braking
2. reroute to side streets to "parallel" dense traffic that's too slow to catch the light synchronized sequence (e.g. 19th ave, hwy 1 along main beach, geary blvd during commute hours)
3. learn the real time light sequences (especially to sync the cross streets for the whole route, e.g. going from 25th ave to geary blvd ... miss…5 votes -
Report dangerous traffic light / intersection
You used to have the option to report a missing traffic sign or a dangerous traffic light or intersection. Anyway this option has gone missing from the hazard report.
Please bring it back! There are lots of roads (especially in Israel) where the traffic light is almost unnoticeable and it it super dangerous!!!
I had an accident today because of that :(
If the waze voice warns before entering a known dangerous intersection then automatically the driver is more couscous and alert and less speedy.
Please add an option to report it.
Thanx!13 votes -
Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling.…

Traffic light is not friendly to motorcycles
Make an option to mark traffic lights that change only for cars and not for motorcycles to help the Municipalities to change it. Many motorcycles have to stack in red light until a car stand behind them or wors, until they have to go on red light

Traffic green light forecaster
How accurately waze could be able to forecast green lights?
When a wazer gets a green light, she will start moving. If this information is collected from several wazers, would it be enought to gather the traffic light interval and after that forecast next turn-to-green moment?If this is possible, the next wazer could be given information if she need to accelerate or decelerate to arrive on greens. Following theses advices, she could get a green wave throught any wazer-populated city ;-)

Traffic Light Duration/Issue Reporting
On my way to and from work, I know of two specific traffic lights that are completely misaligned against the volume of traffic. For instance, at one intersection, if the left Hand arrow appeared for 20 seconds as opposed to 5 seconds, my life would be a lot easier (not to mention the efficiency in traffic flow, right near the Lincoln Tunnel going into new York city).
So how to report this? And to whom? How about a contract you cut with the state department of transportation (or federal, or county, or city) whereby Waze is compensated for…

USA: "At / after the light" instead of "At / after the traffic light"
Following discussions between staff and USA champs, this is our formal request that the voice instruction decoration for traffic lights in the USA be changed to "At the light" or "After the light".

Add a temporary traffic light option
For example, when there is road work, they put up temporary traffic lights, so add the option for people to report it.

Use Traffic Light as Reference to Turn
Tell users where to make a turn such as "at the light" or "the next light" like Apple Maps. This is better than suggesting to turn in # of miles.

Alerting of when a broken traffic light
I want waze to alert wazers of when a broken traffic light is coming up so that way people know when to stop when the traffic lights are out so it can cut down on close calls just like what it does to when there’s a car on the shoulder for example

no traffic
Add option for "No Traffic" and "Light Traffic"; rather than only "Moderate", "Heavy" or "Standstill".

Please allow users to remove Traffic light camera from the alerts.
I live in a town with many traffic light cameras and it is very annoying that I can't turn off that alert. Please make it so we can turn that off.

Waze alerting people of when a broken traffic light is
I would like it if waze alerted people of when a broken traffic light is because a lot of times whenever the traffic lights are out people just blow through it without a care in the world just like what it does when theirs a pothole

Traffic lights option button
Hello wazers. There are some traffic lights that are fast enough to pass through and some others that are extremely slow (2-3 cars per time). Waze commonly proposes directions through traffic lights (Even when there are other options).
I think that a “traffic light” option button that characterizes it as slow or fast, would be a good addition in order to accelerate our proposed roots40 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Use Waze on-line data to improve traffic light throughput
Use Waze on-line data to improve traffic light throughput by prioritize the incoming directions that move slower than the others. i have a lot of material regarding this idea i would love to share.

Add traffic light and bus stop option for the "Are you in traffic?" prompts.
Often times the slowdowns detected are due to traffic lights or bus stops.

Light
I'm not the first one to comment about adding traffic light. But what I want to add is sometimes it's better to go through a traffic light in case of a busy road which is much harder to turn without the light

Traffic lights navigation
Mostly in cities, sometimes I'm used to get navigation guidance from people, telling me to "turn right at the 3rd traffic light ahead" or "turn left at the next junction ahead". I think such navigation method - by counting road & infrastructure elements, rather than calculating distance - could be useful and preferable for some people. It may require initially mapping all these road elements in order to enable it... I believe its worthwhile :)
