Add a cause for the traffic jam
I'm stuck in traffic, but there's no indication of the cause of the traffic jam.
Maybe you could add an explanation for the cause of the traffic jam.
For example, an accident, roadworks, or just normal traffic at this time of day.1 vote -
Include option to inform free transit the same way we inform intense traffic
include option to inform free transit the same way we inform intense traffic, eg
How have the option of informing the traffic conditions as stopped or heavy traffic. We also need to have the option to report that traffic was released and is free now.2 votes -
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.

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.

"Predictive" traffic information
Would it be possible for the app to have a switch allowing the users to see "predicted ETA" based on traffic data for the route from previous days/weekdays?
For example, I know for sure that a particular segment of a journey will get jammed at about 6:55 - 7:05. However, when starting the 30min journey at 6:40, this particular segment is still "free of traffic" based on live info, and so Waze shows me the route as the fastest, despite the fact that within 15 min this segment will get jammed and the "fastest" route will turn into the…

Please adjust speed camera alerts when in traffic
Please adapt speed camera alerts for traffic and speed. You’re notifying me of cameras 0.5 mile in advance when I’m going 5 mph in traffic. Then traffic opens up and I speed up and I don’t realize the camera is there.

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 -
Fix the "red light camera" bug
For literally 5 years now, I've been noticing that at random times I will launch Waze and it will play the "Red light camera reported ahead" message in different languages. The languages used seem to be restricted to ones I've previously associated with navigation instructions, namely: French, Spanish, Japanese. Sometimes the message also plays in English.

why not use 1 car icon for moderate traffic and 3 cars for complete standstill traffic

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?

Traffic Signs and Alerts Urgently Needed in School Zones
Waze needs to integrate visual traffic signs (Stop signs, traffic lights), just as Google and Apple Maps already do. A crucial missing feature is for the route line to change color when entering school zones, visually alerting the driver to reduce their speed. These visual cues are vital for driving with greater caution and better anticipating stops. If the app is updated to include these suggestions, I will give it five stars, and it will be perfect.

Decouple map display from light sensor
The current version of Android Waze always uses the information from the light sensor to display dark or light mode. My car doesn't have a light sensor (even though it is a 2023 model). Therefore, my map display is always dark, making it very hard to see in bright sunlight. Could you make it possible for users to select whether to use the information from the light sensor or not? Thank you!

Better location for traffic messages
The traffic information is great but would be much better if the location shows the exits or junctions. At the moment I get messages with a "near" location that is kilometers away.

Traffic simulator
If you have plenty of free time, choose this “amazing” app. It will confidently guide you straight into the worst traffic jams. And if the road ahead isn’t congested enough, don’t worry - Waze will reroute you to somewhere with an even bigger mess. Peak inefficiency, perfectly automated

Warn oncoming traffic for ALL events
We cannot warn the oncoming users for all of the issues they can meet on the road.. Speed checks it's ok, but not the traffic jams or for the cars that have to stop on the side of the road for instance...
