  2. Distinguish "avoid toll roads" and "avoid limited traffic roads"

    Actually we have two functions "avoid toll roads" and "avoid limited-traffic roads" in one single navigation option.
    It's needed to distinguish them, because we might want to use toll roads, like highways, but might not want to get a fine to have entered a limited-traffic roads.

    Many thanks.

  3. Alert me when traffic lightens up on a specified route

    I should be able to click on a route showing traffic and ask to receive an alert when the traffic lightens up on that route. This is good (for example) for people who have only one route home and want to know when to leave work without checking ease every five minutes.

  4. Need an update for overheating phone!!

    When using Waze on CarPlay it causes my phone to heat up quickly and end up stop charging and kills my battery ( 40% in an hour) by running Waze on CarPlay. This needs addressed. It started happening after the iOS 16 update and doesn’t do it with any other navigation app or any other app period.

    Please fix this. Oh and add stop signs yield signs and traffic lights to the app as well.

  5. 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.

  9. 1. 1. When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone.

    1. When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone. (2) When I driving along Interstate highways, and am looking for a Coffee or eating place along the Route, it is usually looking ahead. I don't want to drive back 20 miles to have a coffee. I am looking for a Coffee stop ahead. (3) Show rest stops as most other apps do. (4) Show Traffic Lights and gas stations

  11. Adding events to the list for people to report on

    Add vehicle stopped in the road causing congestion.
    Add traffic lights not working causing congestion.
    Add police road blocks as well as specifying what police is doing.
    For instance, highway petrol will not be trapping for speed, whereas other would have set up a temporary speed trap using laser devices - not cameras.

  12. Edit Hazard Reports

    Often I just click hazard because I'm driving & don't want to miss the exact location.
    It would be good if you could go back & edit the hazard when stopped (ie at traffic lights) to add info such as broken down car, elephant on road, elves in bushes etc so other Waze users had a better understanding of what hazard to look out for

  13. Avoid traffic on the route.

    I think it would be useful to add a function or setting that avoids all traffic jams on the route without wasting time in everyday traffic.

  14. 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"

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
