Have a quick log in that first responders can log in to list accidents lane closures and length of time of accident.
Give first responders a quick and easy way to log in and give details on lane closers and length of time lanes will be closed. This is for the safety of the motorist and the emergency personnel on scene. Would also help if we could look and see how far traffic is backed up.

Malaysian Accent for Malaysian Roads Please
Why not use Malaysian voices for Waze in Malaysia? Right now the female voice option I choose for Malaysia pronounces Jalan Sultan Ismail as "Juh-lane Sull Tonne Izz Mail" and it annoys me.

Police traveling in unmarked cars
Add a feature for police traveling in unmarked cars in your lane. To warn wazers ahead of you within a certain speed radius. Not sure if that’s doable.

advance direction when exiting a highway
When exiting the highway it would be SO helpful to announce the next direction much much earlier. For example, in ½ a mile, exit roselle road and stay to the right or stay to the left to exit. We have three plus lane exits and waze is telling me too late which lane to be in after exiting. Thanks!

Differ the blocked lane pictogram visible on the map in dependence on which lane is blocked (right, left or middle).
It will help with selection of proper side of the road in advance.

“Use the left lane to Turn Left” This a bit extra as it is impossible for me to use the right lane to left .
The direction given too Long.

Names assigned recently for some existing public lanes by East York council in Toronto
I'm a collge journalist student. On September 16, 2019 the council approved to add names of people and other historical aspects of Toronto to some existing public lanes for people to easily navigate to and had 2 street closures..
I'll add the info here for the update but in return I would appreciate a quote for my article which really will help me graduate since I'm in my final year.
What is the process of getting you navigation system updated and how long will it take?
This is from the offical government website and each change has its own…

Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67…

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.

Which Side of the Road
It would be nice if on our drive at with .5 miles or .2 miles you would notify us which side of the road the business (address) is on. We have many 2/3 and 4 lane roads and we can't get in the proper lane for the turn if we don't know which side of the road the address is on.

50cc 45km/h Scooter navigation
I’d love to have a scooter navigation, that knows what the traffic situation looks like and that gives you the exact route. I live in the Netherlands and 45km/h scooters often need to switch between de cycling lane and the car lane, so it would be nice if the navigation would give you the exact route including when you need to switch from one lane to the other. First try this for the Netherlands as we drive a load of scooters and cycle a lot, and because of this, our traffic signs are good to follow which makes it…

HOV lanes: Specifically on Long Island Expressway.
This is about the HOV lane on the Long Island Expressway in NY.
During off peak hours, Waze ALWAYS directs you into the HOV lane.
1) The HOV is one lane as opposed to 3 or 4 lanes on the main road. During off peak it's not usually faster.
2)The main problem with this, is when Waze "thinks" you're in the HOV, all notifications for Police, emergency vehicles, etc. stop unless someone in the HOV lane makes the report.That even goes for when the Police are hiding on the left shoulder on the left of the HOV.

MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance

Standard avoids :
- avoid toll roads
- avoid highwaysNew ones:
- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can…

Bus land alert for london UK and street restrictions of timings
Waze need to show when ever rider is about to reach bus lane or on a roade where bus lane is there , remind to avoid being in the bus lane.
It would be very helpful if shows restrictions before entering any street like .. 7 to 9 am we cannot enter like this . It would really impact a lot on driver skills.

Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make ever
Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make everyone aware of this FACT. They also make the roads hazardous by forcing drivers around them unnecessarily, possibly causing accidents and getting away with it. Please add this to your information - police and city councils ignore this fact, yet there are laws and old signs.

S-Turn penalties
In case of traffic even light, some ways become impossible to cross, mainly ave. with more than 3 or 4 lanes.
Proposal to include a S-Turn routing penalties in case of traffic in the crossing street.
This will avoid routing in ways with less than 200m (safe length for lane change is S-Turn even with traffic).
