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.

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).

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.

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 -

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.

Route Suggestions are not the BEST! Have thubms UP, when WAZE does a good job.
On some days, Waze suggests some really amazing detours and it saves a lot of GAS, as the vehicle is constantly moving. Also, the route saves you time. At other times, WAZE take you straight into Traffic or to a route, with building up traffic, and then asks "Are you stuck in Traffic". Really !!!. You told me to go there.
There should be a way to give WAZE thumbs up, for saving time. and Thumbs DOWN for suggesting a route with more traffic with no options for detour.
Saying there is traffic ahead , and taking 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.

Add an ATC (Air traffic Control) voice. This would be for all the flight enthusiasts.
Add a voice that resemble Air Traffic Control discussion.
You coul use sentences as:
- Cabin crew ready for take-off
- prepare for landing
- Retract landing gear ...

Estimated time in traffic notification
When I commute to or from work, I get "Estimated time in traffic" multiple times on the way. Presently, there is no way to disable that notification without disabling all notifications. I would like an option to disable this notification.
I don't need that notification, yet I still want some notifications, police, accidents, etc. I don't need to know how long I will be in traffic, considering the arrival time doesn't change with this traffic notification.1 vote -
How the traffic represented on the map
Hey, you have a great app, really. But one thing is weird and sometimes nervous.
So during the navigation, I have many variations of the route. But sometime traffic may be unpredictable. So I want to be able to see what traffic is on the parallel/closest streets, it will help me to decide should I drive as Waze says me, or I can quickly change the route. But unfortunately, Waze does not show me the traffic at the parallel streets. Actually, Waze shows the traffic at the closest streets but not for all streets. And I'm talking about the major…2 votes -
Perpetual Traffic Study
Traffic data is an invaluable resource for civic planners. Imagine the cost savings and benefits that accurate and real time data would bring to municipalities deciding on road repairs, widening projects, and more.

Traffic lanes speed.
It would be useful to add this feature back to the Waze app because the speed of traffic segments is useful, so that we drivers can understand how intense the traffic is on certain sections of the road. But it should be estimated in both Km and in miles.

Prevent Traffic Accidents with warning with alerts of critical local
Using big data on accident history, you could help prevent traffic accidents, warning of the points in which there were more accidents at considering local time too !!!!
I would be very happy to see it being implemented in the Waze because in Brazil the number of deaths in traffic accidents is high.
Thanks for attention!3 votes -
Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic…

Take Rowena Ave. in Los Angeles off your suggested routes.
This street was never intended to be a major thoroughfare. The traffic is non-stop on this residential street and there are no lights to control the amount of traffic that has accumulated.

Very slow updates of the current traffic causes Waze to be unusable
Traffic updates have been very bad recently, where traffic changes (e.g., rush hour ends) take much time to actually appear in the app and in the suggested rout (I can easily tell when driving one way, and then see that the already cleared traffic still appear). This also occurs on traffic issues that are not shown in the app when choosing the rout. I know that traffic may buildup during my ride, but since traffic clearance is not updated correctly, I guess that there are similar issues with buildup.
After all, fast updates are the essence of Waze, and you…
