Red tint on the side that traffic is slow
The red/yellow line is thin and gets obscured by the purple nav line.
In addition to the current line, I suggest a wider transparent line in red/yellow tint. The wider line should be drawn alongside the road, rather than exactly on it. The line should be on the side that the traffic is on.
In addition to the obscuring problem, the little moving flow arrows are hard to see when driving, while a broad tint clearly to the side of the road might be clearer.

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 -

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.

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 -
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.

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…

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…

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 -

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.

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 -
I miss the listing of traffic on the old app. It appears you can only see the traffic by looking at the map now.
If you're looking to see the traffic along several routes, this was the fastest way to tell.

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…

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…

time estimation before/immediate and making it better
time estimation has been roughly a little wrong cause the it doesn’t take into matter any traffic light and how much that traffic light is taking to open so if there is a way of knowing where traffic lights are for example like when we report a camera we should also be able to report a traffic light and the program estimates every time that the traffic light opens by the cars moving in every time of the day until it collects the right amount of data and know what time it opens and closes and of course it has…
