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.

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,…

Ignore Traffic Option for Real Time Road Closures
For Real Time Road Closures, please add the option to "Ignore segment traffic". Currently if there is any traffic detected on a Closed segment, the Closure will be put into Suspend mode. This can be problematic since some Waze users choose to ignore a closure, because they can't "see" any backed up traffic due to the closure, and will cause the closure to be paused until enough traffic has been stopped behind the closure and the segment detects no more movement. By then the closure should have been in place warning Waze users well ahead of time to find…

Use a voice command to ask from driver for traffic
The most important report in Waze is traffic
Create a voice command to ask from driver who drive slower than allowed speed (for example half) that "is traffic in this Ave heavy" and driver answer "yes" or "no" easily3 votes -

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.

Time in traffic
The time in traffic is obscured by the zoom buttons +/-. Can you please move them to the right side of the map?

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.

1,2,3 cars icon for traffic condition
why not use 1 car icon for moderate traffic and 3 cars for complete standstill traffic

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?

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...

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!

Show slow traffic in yellow or red
Even if users don't send a notification of slow traffic, if the system detects that a few users are slowing down, change the display of the road to yellow or red. Currently, on the 118 freeway there are some spots about 2 miles long that are very slow, however Waze shows normal.

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…

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 -
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.…

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…

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.

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
