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.

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.1 vote -
Reporting of traffic jams in filter lanes or turning lanes
Hi, many times while driving on the highway I would pass a filter lane or turning lane at a traffic light that is extremely long. I would like to be able to report this so other users who might be coming up to the turning lane would know its present status and can decide if they want to continue there or go to another turn off. Currently, I can only flag whether there is traffic on the "main road" that I am traveling on.

Report good traffic
There should be options to affirmatively report a road opening after a blockage, good traffic after a delay, no more hazard after a hazard is removed, no cop.....rather than just denying or affirming a report. Not all situations pop up for affirmation anyway.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Local traffic and closures
Work for a local municipality with traffic. We are aware of several closures in advance. Would it be possible to have access to put scheduled closures on your system the day before? If there was a site for local municipalities I know I would use it. Anything to clear the roads before it’s a mess.

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.

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 for2 votes -
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"

Traffic Study Data - and use of data for traffic modeling
I am on the Master Plan Implementation Committee in Westborough, MA. We are a municipality of 20K residence. We are currently looking at traffic congestion issues in the center of the town. I was hoping WAZE could produce traffic reports with data on cars entering the town center and exiting so we can determine if building alternate routes around the bottle neck are warranted.
Our assumption is that a majority of the traffic is through traffic for other communities commuting to major highways. Your data (even if WAZE users are only a small percentage) would give use the data we…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Traffic changes updates more frequently
I've noticed lately that Waze is more "lazier" when updating the state of the traffic ahead. Many times, the traffic that was bad, has improved, but Waze continues to show the route as trafficked. And that's a bad thing, because it could suggest alternative routes faster and more often when traffic quickly deteriorates ahead, or choose to take a shorter, freer route when traffic improves. Decrease the traffic update time to improve this point for drivers.

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.

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.
