Tell Wazers to form a rescue alley in a traffic jam
When you are in a traffic jam you have to form a rescue alley (in germany and many other countries). But nobody is doing so. That's making it hard for the ambulance to reach the injured people.
Please tell the wazers to form a rescue alley when waze recognizes a traffic jam.

Which lane should follow before getting to the location where Waze tells your next turn
Waze shows the lane that should be used for the next turn, but do not show which lane you should follow at each cross road or traffic light. I was using the Waze in cities abroad or even in my country and as I didn’t know the town was cumbersome to guess which lane should I take at every cross road / traffic light before getting to the actual position where I should take a turn and Waze was telling me which are the coreect lanes. It would be great in the city that Wase shows you at every …

use past traffic statistics when calculating routes
waze could save statistics about average time it takes to pass each street at different times of the day (but only on work days - not vacations or weekends where traffic patterns are different). this past statistics can be valuable when routing - today, waze could lead me through areas that are more congestion prone since at the moment these areas are quite vacant. using past statistics when routing would show that by the time I'll get to these areas, there'll probably be a congestion so other paths might be better.

"no right on red" avoidance -- avoiding choke points and "queue across intersection"
"No right on red" avoidance (mentioned in "choke buster") would avoid a route that includes arriving at a major road where traffic tends queue across the intersection during peak hours.
Waze could also detect and actively avoid or reroute detours around intersections where other fleet movement would indicate the intersection is not clearing traffic during each traffic light cycle.
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

Include on-route traffic flow and incidents to "Your trip" screen and traffic delay to ETA.
Upon click on the ETA box on the bottom a "Your trip" screen pops up and shows route details. Please include traffic flow and incidents that lay on the route ahead (just like one can see it when the 3 alternative routes are presented. Also it would be great to show the traffic delay on the current route next to the ETA on the main map.

Provide verbal traffic reports along your route
Traffic reports should sound like ones provided on the radio. Example, "It's 17 minutes from the Stevenson to 88. There's a disabled vehicle just north of 75th street"

Implement route bar for traffic on route
Would like to see a route bar (or something similar) that would show traffic on the route. TomTom utilizes this and its extremely helpful, showing traffic with estimated wait minutes while in the traffic. Waze currently might show its traffic icon up ahead but not on the entire route so users can plan, see and/or adjust.

Fix the calculation for stopped traffic
Very often, in heavy traffic, Waze will claim a backup adds a few minutes when in reality it adds a few hours. The code for maroon levels of traffic is beyond poor and needs to reflect actual backups. Waze very often will reroute you I to these and add hours to your trip

Show real-time traffic problems anywhere you scroll the map
It's not always possible to create a route to somewhere, especially if you want to know about traffic problems on roads heading towards you.
Would be great to be able to see real-time traffic reports anywhere you scroll the map to; whether locally or 200 miles away.

Traffic cameras timers
Hello, waze in cyprus is used by high percentage of the popularity. The main problem though we have is the traffic cameras that have been installed but without a timer. This creates major problems for the drivers creating car accidents but also many fines. My proposal is to add maybe an estimate timer on the app for the traffic cameras so the driver knows when it will turn red.
