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A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level

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.

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.

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.

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 statistics of traffic on each road
It would be really nice if there were statistics of the traffic present at different times of the day for at least the main streets.

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).

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

About traffic information
We propose the use of Bing Maps traffic information in combination with Waze bots as an effective means of responding to natural disasters. This combination will improve disaster response by providing fast and accurate road closure information.
First, Bing Maps traffic information provides real-time traffic conditions across a wide geographic area. This can be used to quickly determine which areas are affected in the event of a disaster. However, for information on road closures and other detailed road conditions, community-based approaches such as Waze bots can be beneficial.
Waze bots provide instant information on traffic conditions and road closures by…

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.

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 incidents, Speed traps Police Trap
Dear S/M
Im a very keen Waze user, the only suggestion I would like to make is regarding announcements of speed and police traps or other traffic incidents. These according to my driving experience using Waze should be made not only once or little bit earlier but also at least three times (for ex. 1x1000m 2x500m 3x200m) before arriving at the certain point.
Especially the ones reported by the other Waze users, because oftenly for example when I see something to report, it takes other 200-300 meters until I take the phone in my hand and finally push the reporting…7 votes -

Historical Traffic Data for Social Analysis
I am working in academia and would like very much to analyze social behavior by studying traffic data - example: in case of a disaster. I don't know if you keep historical data; if you do, is it possible to obtain data for an area for a certain date?
