Faster Voice Navigation Cadence
She speaks much slower than, say, Google Maps navigation. Speeding the prompts' delivery minimizes interruptions to other audio you might be listening to.

Enhanced Hazard Reporting by adding "Affecting Flow of Traffic" option
Everybody has seen a car on the side of the road but how many of those are actually affecting the flow of traffic? People post them to gain points but often times it is not useful information.

Hazard on the Shoulder
When selecting a hazard on the shoulder, there is only an option for a car on the shoulder. How about adding truck on the shoulder?

Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting
Enhance the "Prevent Auto-Lock" setting, so that you can have one setting for when it is plugged in and charging and another setting when not charging.
This will allow for the option to let the phone to go into standby, if the phone is left on after turning the car off.

Semaphore optimization of speed, driving time and fuel economy.
To drive faster and keep fuel try to know the semaphore timing.

Avoid stop signs! Sometimes is faster the paraller road, because it has a few stops signs!!
I know that waze finds the fastest route, but sometime that street has a lot of Stop signs, and the parallel street doesnt have any, so is faster!! Maybe for a future you could add the stop signs to the maps!! For you to take note: In Costa Rica there isn't 4 stop ways or 3 stop way, in an intersection, here there is always a road who has the way, and the other has the stop sign. Srry for my english, isnt my native language!!

user provided layout themes
There are various requests for features of what Waze should/should not display on screen. It would be great if users could instead of just choosing a style, actually choose a (or create) a layout that another user has selected.
Best option would be to provide the ablity to give shapes, and areas that can contain text. Eg.
- Current speed (can then increase/decrease the speed display)
- Average wazer speed on the current segment (so the potential speed limits could be shown)
- Current road name
- Text/images for popups
- Destination ETA
- Destination time
- Destination name
- Destination distance
The more that is available, the more people can add there own display requests in.No need for a GUI, XML or some form of coding would be suitable.

Ask user on which street he is if GPS accuracy insufficient to determinate it automatically
Sometimes in the beginning of driving or if you driving differently from Wase suggestion Waze can lock on wrong street, if it is two close streets inside GPS accuracy region. I think it will be good if Wase will ask on which street you are exactly if it detects that GPS accuracy is insufficient to determinate it automatically.

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Hide notification bar in Android
Hiding the Notification bar would give a little more screen real estate, but the big deal here is that newer phones have AMOLED screens which can suffer from burn-in, and the notification bar in Android with the screen turned way up while navigating for hours is surely going to cause this. Can we PLEASE hide the notification bar so it doesn't damage our screens? Nexus One, Desire, Incredible, likely others will all be possibly impacted by this.
8 votesthis will not solve the issue with these screens, as waze has its own bar (right below the notifications bar) which will not be removed. So we need to think of a better solution that will prevent the burn-in, but hiding the notifications bar will not help.

Shut Down UserVoice
Yes, the title is clickbait. But that really is the end goal!
Let’s get straight to the point: UserVoice has done an excellent job of centralizing Waze community suggestions in a tool specifically designed for that purpose. However, after years of cumulative use, it has become clear that managing it has grown increasingly difficult.
And now, entering the scene: Discuss.
Discuss has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for community interaction. It is a technically modern platform, with a pleasant user experience and strong functional versatility.
There is no doubt that Discuss is capable of absorbing all the functions currently handled by UserVoice. Every feature available in UserVoice can find an equivalent within Discuss.
Voting, reactions, comments, categories, tagging, listings, sorting, posting — everything you can do in UserVoice is also available in Discuss.
Automatic translation? New post notifications? Tables? Emojis? Permalinks? User avatars and badges? AI-generated topic summaries? User permission levels? Bookmarking favorites?
Discuss has it all. Sometimes it really feels like Discuss was designed for exactly this purpose.
Beyond feature parity, Discuss also offers practical advantages. For example, posting an image in UserVoice requires pasting a link to an external file — just like in the old forum days. Discuss allows direct uploads.
By the way, here’s an image that visually highlights some of the parallels between UserVoice and Discuss: https://i.imgur.com/A4yrPhL.jpeg
Defending a suggestion requires much more than words. Images and videos, for example, can be extremely helpful in presenting a concept in a far more compelling way.
Moderation and content management are also native strengths of Discuss. Moving or hiding comments, splitting or merging topics, and issuing user warnings are built-in capabilities, with clear operational advantages.
From a platform perspective, centralizing users within the Discuss environment — with unified login and content hosted under the Waze umbrella — is both technically sound and timely. It also encourages user recirculation, increasing the chances that someone who submits a suggestion will engage with ongoing discussions, and vice versa. On top of that, it’s simply more convenient, more robust, and better looking.
At this point, only a few minor adjustments would be needed, such as creating a screen to encourage users to search for similar suggestions before posting, and adding tags to indicate the status assigned by the staff. Nothing that can’t be done.
This isn’t about shutting down UserVoice. It’s about building a single, modern home for feedback, discussion, and collaboration — where ideas don’t just get submitted, they get shaped.

Bring back Deer sightings on or near road. Simply , road hazard is insufficient to warn drivers.
Being back deer on side of road or in road is much better than just saying road hazard . A simply road hazard does NOT give drivers proper heads up to avoid killing the animals and possibly themselves

Add option to report animal on road

Wildlife
Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

Customized alert distances
Since the recent release of changing the alert to 0.2 miles, makes police alerts a worthless feature because at highway speeds, at that distance, it's already too late. In fact, anything over 25mph would be too late at that point. How about a setting that allows the user to set that distance in the range 0.2 to 1 mile to make it more practical or just revert to the 0.5-mile default that was present before the latest release!

Speed Bump & Speed Camera
I was travelling by road in Oman and noticed many of the Speed Bumps & Speed Camera locations are not correct.
Maybe it's not updated. Is there an option for the user to update the speed bump & speed camera location.7 votes
