1. Wind gusts icon

   I'd suggest to add into climatic alerts group an icon to be used to inform Wazers that there a risk due to wind gusts.

   I guess there is a significant number of users (such as truck, light commercial, bus and caravan drivers) that may be interested to this potential risk and would appreciate if Wazers would turn on a specific alert.

   What do you think about it?

3. Avoid wind farms / windfarms / wind turbines

   I can't drive with those monstrous things right next to me. I had 30 miles through Indiana on I-65 where I thought I was going to wipe out. I have to drive across country later this year and need to avoid these otherworldly distractions. I have already searched for ways to avoid them (and an alternate route for where I was going through IN) and have found nothing. (I am all for alt energy but not in my driving eyeline on top of me like that. More solar!)

4. Add Ethanol-Free as an additional grade of fuel

   When reporting gas prices, the highest-priced unleaded fuel seems to automatically wind up being thought to be premium, when premium can often be cheaper than ethanol-free fuels of lower octane rating. Having the ability to report ethanol-free fuel prices may help avoid such mistakes.

5. Motorcycle and rally communities

   For people to use Waze for navigation for groups (either leading and or distributing to a group) it would be great IF a person could go to Google Maps, make a route, then send it to Waze for navigation.
   I plan group motorcycle rides on Google Maps, but then there is no way for me to get that electronically over to GPS (I use my Android phone (waze) for navigation).
   I wind up still printing the Google Maps and putting them in my Tank back to follow.. Seems so 2005,,,

6. Mobile Police Setting

   When following, or being followed by a police car, I would like to enable a feature to show my actual GPS location for the next 10 minutes or until I disable. This will warn other drivers that they are approaching a police car and not zoom by me and get a ticket. There are a lot of unmarked police cars that I wind up following because I see the hidden lights or the government place before I pass them. I would like to help people avoid missing them while in traffic.

7. More bad weather descriptions

   Instead of “bad weather reported ahead,” there should be options for co-pilots to select “high winds,” or blowing snow,” or “heavy rain,” or “hail,” or “sleet,” or “tornado,” etc

8. Add hazard warning: Poor visibility due to wildfire smoke.

   Add hazard warning: Poor visibility Smoke.

   Had two incidents in the past week where there was poor visibility die to smoke. One led to a multi vehicle accident. The other was on a winding mountain pass.

9. Optimized functionalities for motorbikes

   It's too bad Waze doesn't offer any of these functionalities for riders/bikers:
   - deactivate traffic jams in the time calculation (or consider we are at around 50 km/h on these parts of the path)
   - proposing winding/twisting roads with different levels, just like Tomtom and Garmin already do with their devices
   - allowing to create more than one step point to get the perfect itinerary
   - allowing the load of external files (such as .gpx for example) to create roadbooks on our computer (with Google Maps or else) and then send it to our smartphone.

   In brief, just a few things that would make Waze the perfect companion for motorcyclists, which is far from the case nowadays!

10. Stop routing traffic inappropriately

    I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.

    Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.

    STOP DOING THIS!

    First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.

    Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to the mountain roads! It is obvious these people DON'T know how to drive on them. They need to stay on 17 if they are not experienced on these winding two lane roads. They either drive too slow of constantly cross the center line. 17 is a MUCH safer option for them.

    This is becoming a black eye for Waze. The mountain social media is full of complaints Waze need to do something to correct this immediately.

11. routes for caravans

    Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
    I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
    The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre

12. Avoid a specific road

    I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.

    For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/can_i_stop_waze_from_rerouting_or_select_a/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when driving through D.C. or Baltimore, I find myself wanting to avoid certain local roads at night time, specifically ones where the street lights are not working. There are many personal preference reasons one might have to want to avoid a specific road! And hearing things like "you can use this other option" is usually not helpful, because the asker of the question has already explored the menu and found those options!

    There are a couple ways this could be presented to the user. In the settings menu, I could see a list of roads you want to avoid, and a button to add a road, which takes you to the map, possible with a search option. Maybe when navigating the map normally, one of the things a long-press gets you is the ability to mark a road to avoid. Maybe when you are presented with a list of directions, you can swipe away a turn to indicate you don't want to go onto that road, and you're then asked "this trip only / this and all future trips?"

    This is getting long-winded. It suffices to say I've thought about this a lot and would like to see this feature. Thanks for reading.

13. Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days

    At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

14. Narrow street flags

    Here in Pittsburgh, we're a city of hills, bluffs, and narrow, winding roads, and listening to Waze help navigate me has led to $400 in repairs and 3 near accidents in the past 2 months by taking me through poorly maintained streets and roads so narrow that, while not legally-required to be one way, nevertheless make for perilous travel with few opportunities to turn around and try another route.

    If users or editors could flag narrow streets and if an option was labeled to avoid these streets, similar to the options to avoid toll roads, it would be a major boon. I imagine the commercial sector would appreciate this as well so that you don't send a delivery truck down a road in which it may not be able to navigate safely.

    I've been using Waze for years and I really like it, but the past couple months have really been pushing this to the forefront.

15. More re-routing flexibility

    I would love to specify how open i am to re-routing before a journey - i.e. being able to choose ‘reroute automatically - get me there ASAP’ or ‘don’t reroute without confirmation - prefer my route where possible.’

    Why: I drive a specific one of two ways out of my city when taking a long journey because while the other road is technically faster if you drive at the speed limit it is also dangerous and has poor surface conditions. This means in reality it is slower and stressful. If I do not manage to cancel the re-routing in time, I then have to either try to select an alternative route on my CarPlay (not advisable driving at 60mph on winding country roads), or stop the car to reinstate what I told it before I set off.

16. Use front-facing camera to do things (if available)

    I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness! I can immediately think of a number of cool things that you could do with this, depending on how much image processing you want to do. Here are some user stories for you :)

    ---

    As a: User concerned about recording details for insurance purposes in the event of an accident
    I would like: Waze to record the field of view in front of me on a loop of user-selectable duration and save that loop to my videos in the event of an accident (as detected by the device's accelerometer, or other means)

    So that: I can review the details of any incident at a later date

    As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting traffic updates
    I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle (in conjunction with the GPS-detected velocity) and automatically determine if the traffic is heavy, or and prompt me to see if I want to send an update (or just do it automatically, if I've given Waze permission to do so in some settings option)

    So that: I don't have to manually do this, and the frequency of updates can be greatly increased

    As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting hazard updates
    I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle and detect common road hazards (objects in the road, on the shoulder, etc)

    So that: I don't have to manually do this, and the frequency of updates can be greatly increased

    As a: Waze user that likes to help other Waze users by posting hazard updates
    I would like: Waze to examine the field of view in front of the vehicle and detect if traffic or hazards that have previously been reported are now not there

    So that: Other users don't get out-of-date information about events on their route

    As a: Waze user that is concerned about tiredness while driving
    I would like: Waze to monitor the driver's posture, eyes and motion via the front-facing camera and look for signs of tiredness
    So that: I can recieve a loud alert in the event that I inadvertantly become drowsy, which either suprises me into a more alert state so that I can safely stop, or alerts other occupants of the vehicle to the situation

    OK, that's some camera ideas. Here are some other ones:

    ---

    As a: Driver planning a long journey
    I would like: Waze to (have the option to) prompt me to stop approximately every two hours and propose some local stopping place (service station, restaurant, cafe, hotel, etc)

    So that: I find it more difficult to accidentally drive for unadvisably long periods

    As a: Driver that is travelling with at least one other person in the vehicle
    I would like: To be able to install a "Waze: Co-pilot" app on an iPad (Air, mini, pro, etc) that would interact with the current Waze app (lets call it "Waz; Navigator") and allow the vehicle's "co-pilot" to analyse various navigation options on the "secondary" device and make course changes that will be seen on the "navigator" device.

    So that: The driver doesn't have to be distracted with making changes and decisions while the vehicle is in motion

    As a: Driver, with a co-pilot receiving, receiving a prompt to stop
    I would like: Information to be presented to the co-pilot to be sourced from some third-party travel information provider, such as Trip Advisor

    So that: We can crowd source reviews of the standard of stopping places

    As a: Driver without a co-pilot receiving a prompt to stop
    I would like: To simply be told to stop "at the next available stopping place"

    So that: I'm not needlessly distracted from the task of driving the vehicle

    As a: Waze user who wants to see additional, non-traffic, information on the map
    I would like: To be able to see a variety of "overlays" on top of the current Waze map

    So that: I can see things like the wind speed and direction on the road ahead, or the amount of rain, or the temperature (in case of ice, for example), or the gradient of the terrain

    As a: Waze user that has placed the device out of easy reach
    I would like: Waze to listen for the direction "Waze!" and be able to perform various tasks through voice interactions
    So that: I can drive with minimal distraction due to trying to interact via touch
    [
    I'm thinking something like:
    "Waze, report heavy traffic"
    "Waze, report hazard on the shoulder of this carriageway"
    "Waze, plot route to <some kind of address>"
    "Waze, take me home"
    "Waze, reroute around an obstruction for 5 miles"
    ]

    I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness!

17. Route mapping/sharing social

    I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.

    Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.

    A feature like this as I could currently see it would allow the user to select a tracking option, which would then start recording. This would then track their current location and plot it along the route they drive, allowing the user to see a recap of sorts at the end of the drive, possibly with some analytics such as time driven, distance driven, time spent stopped, or others for people who enjoy more specific analytics.

    Another feature that could tie into this tracking option would be the ability for users to mark points of interest along the route using the same kind of marking tools used to mark hazards currently. Users could then when stopped or post-drive add information to those points of interest such as name, basic descriptions, photos, tags, etc.

    Tying into those would be the option of a social network of sorts, where users could share routes, points of interest, photos, posts, etc. with the community. At the moment, it feels as if Waze has a strong passionate community, but very few options outside of off-platform forums to really interact in a social way.

    A feature like this would not only give Wazers the chance to build more of a community locally and at large, but also the chance to integrate other future features to really reinforce the connection drivers can have with those around them. Thus, Waze could become more of a platform, rather than just a tool. While this may seem like a lot, most of the technical groundwork could build on existing systems like marking hazards and location tracking.

    I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.

    Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.

    A feature like this as I could currently see it would allow… more

18. OFFER AN EASIER ROUTE TO THE PINEHLLS PLYMOUTH

    You offer two options to get off at Route 3 Exit 4. and then you are on a winding dark road. EXIT #3 IS A MUCH MORE PLEASANT OPTION AND YOU SHOULD OFFER DIRECTIONS. I gladly drive an extra 10 min ti avoid LONG POND RD WHICH IS A TOUGH COMMUTE

19. making map corrections

    haven't been able to input a correction following instructions. Want to make a change to the directions to Saint Annes Turn Cincinnati OH 45245. Coming off I275 to Beechmont Ave/Ohio Pike/Route 125 towards East - Amelia. DO NOT route right onto 9 Mile Road (this road is narrow, winding, hilly and no lights at night. The safest, shorter route is to continue east to right onto Merwin Ten Mile Road. Thank You for listening and directing this to the right department. Our friends will appreciate this update/change.

20. Trailer Speed and Seatbelt/Phone Cameras operating in Queensland

    Firstly I know there are posts regarding this including mine but I think this needs to be addressed with fresh eyes and open minds.

    I understand there is a resistance to showing the Seatbelt/Phone Cameras and I can see the thinking behind it but would like to suggest that a General Warning would be better than none.

    Now on to the main part of my idea which is only applicable if Waze have no intentions of giving Wazers three options to report these Trailer Cameras (Unidirectional QPS Speed Cameras, Bidirectional Acusenus DTMR Speed Cameras and the Acusensus Seatbelt/Phone Cameras).
    Instead of the algorithm (method) Waze is using at the moment what I am proposing is one that uses "Time Between" reporting to keep the report alive and not disappear (like they are now).
    For example if a Police Hazard report is lodged and expires and another comes in for the same location Four Hours or More later then the Hazard Report should stay up (it could be a Trailer Camera?), if this persists for more than four hours from the first report to the latest one then it is looking more like a Trailer Camera and should stay up even longer, possibly 24 hours.
    If the reports continue the next day then it should stay up until the required number of Wazers report it "Not There" or expire after eight days or more.

    Having observed them for a while now I have noticed the Police Icons disappear many times for long periods only to reappear some time later. I can now confidently identify Trailer Cameras using a simple spreadsheet and suggest the Waze app could do the same.

    There is also a flaw with Waze in that it seems it uses the same algorithm (method) for the populated roads as the less populated roads which disadvantages the Waze users in the less populated areas. It would be great if the app could allow for less traffic and produce a similar result for both scenarios improving the app for the remote motorist. Having said that I have also observed the Police Icons disappear in the Suburbs and think this would also be fixed by changing the algorithm to better suit these new Trailer Cameras.

    I must add there have been a large number in these Groups calling for an app that caters for these Trailer Cameras and the roads less travelled but my way of thinking is Waze is a good app so "why reinvent the wheel?".

    I know this suggestion is very long winded but I think it is important enough to hopefully plant a seed for change to make Waze an even better app. If you got to this line by reading it all, I thank you for your patience!
