Please add rail traffic at grade crossings. Connected to USDOT FRA or community.
Data should be included either from the community or Federal Railroad Administration on wait times on rail road crossings.
Also if Bridge\ship traffic impedes auto traffic it should be displayed.

Show the same traffic animation of the Waze App also on the Livemap
Every time I watch the traffic around me on the Livemap I'm bothered by the traffic jam indication.
In the app I like the animation which shows the direction of the traffic jam, the colours and also that the average speed is shown.
In comparison to that the solution of the Livemap is fairly ugly in my opinion. There are just little lines that vanish from time to time with different zoom levels. They are very pale and have no glowing colours like it's displayed in the app.
I'd like to see beautiful traffic jam animations within the Livemap.

Traffic sign detection with machine learning
I use waze a few years as my one and only navigation system. In my car is a device holder at the front windows. In Germany we have many highway construction sites. And constant changed street signs are on the highways. Maybe you can add a machine learning system to detect the traffic signs.

Adding report option of Fire Trucks, EMTs, Emergency Personnell causing traffic congestion
In NYC and other major cities fire trucks and emergency personnel tend to cause traffic congestion and causing delays. I think waze should add a report feature for this type of activity since reporting closure wouldn't make sense in a temporary situation.

Special calculation and result for motorcycle despite traffic jam
Hi all,
Sorry I do not want to create a duplicate but rather synthesize the idea (other posts talked about but are not totally clear)
It would be cool to create a special motorcycle calculation, for big towns with big traffic jam (ex. Paris-France...) :
the faster way, whatever, even if cars are bumpers to bumpers.Because even if you ride slowly between cars, it remains faster than another way (excepted if road is closed by police or whatever).
It should be possible to choose this kind after choosing destination. For exemple, it would be really practical to have, after…
15 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Move all traffic alerts 1-2 miles earlier
I would dearly love to hear there's traffic ahead a mile or two sooner, please.
I've never had a traffic alert sound before I am in the tailback, and it is too late to reroute, or accept fate!
Big fan of Waze, thank you.

Gated Community Traffic Issue
Hi! In Fairfield a Gated community in Ponte Vedra Beach, GPS takes all visitors to a resident gate instead of our security gate. This has caused traffic jams and accidents as drivers without a pass may not be buzzed in ans have to make a U turn onto a highway. Is there a way to re-direct Waze customers to our Security Gate?

One Way Construction Traffic Control
Warn drivers that traffic in a construction zone is reduced to one way and controlled by Construction Traffic Signals. We have had such a situation that has been ongoing for several months. This is on a major artery and waiting for an editor with the appropriate level could be counter productive.
A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level

Report on the previous place
Hi there,
I would like to ask that how can I pin the previous place that I see got road block on the other side of the road? And because I'm driving, so I'm unable to report in the 1st place, and when I reach at the traffic light, I try to report the exact location, it's can't anymore. How?Thanks and regards

Add Moderate Traffic option in CarPlay Report
Within Apple Carplay, reporting traffic you only get two options… “Heavy” or “Standstill”. There is no option for “Moderate” or a general “Traffic” option. Please add!

Avoid traffic jams.
I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips. Always rather be moving than standing in place with screaming kids and I am SURE a lot of people would agree. I recently had a trip take 10+ hours instead of the original 7 because of completely predictable and avoidable traffic jams on highways. Clearly not there in the middle of the night when I depart but jams there every day since they are because of ongoing construction work on a lane. I kind of assumed waze already tried to help you avoid these but I guess I was wrong.…

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.

Safety warning when turning left against traffic
When making a left turn against traffic, can you program the voice to say “When it is safe” or “When traffic is clear” make a left turn onto … The other day I was listening to Waze for directions and was so focused on this that I almost turned left into traffic.

Report single lane stopped traffic on motorway
Sometimes there is a build-up of traffic in lane 1 of the motorway when approaching a junction, due to issues off of the motorway - causing cars to slam on their brakes and sometimes even causing accidents - while lanes 2 and 3 remain free-flowing.
Please allow a way of reporting single lane stopped traffic, or "exit-lane spillover" traffic (not sure how it should be worded).

Show traffic, not map for regular trips
For routes I take every day, I'd prefer to see a stacked, summary of each turn together with anticipated delays for each turn.
Almost like the list view at the top right of the map, but with traffic on it and with the non-congested parts, diminished.

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic,…
