One Way Construction Traffic Control
Warn drivers that traffic in a construction zone is reduced to one way and controlled by Construction Traffic Signals. We have had such a situation that has been ongoing for several months. This is on a major artery and waiting for an editor with the appropriate level could be counter productive.
A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level

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.

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…

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.

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.

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 -
Traffic control button
It would be nice to have a button to mark where there are traffic controls, but not by the police. Often there are vehicle control done by the government. Such a warning button to mark in the map would be nice.

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…

Replace the color of standstill traffic
Suggest to replace red color for standstill traffic to dark purple or black (normal theme background) / neon purple or bright magenta (black theme background) . There had few cases that drivers could not oversee how serious does the traffic are in that area. If drivers can notice the standstill traffic during navigation, drivers can decide whether to continue or use alternative ways to avoid being stuck in the standstill traffic.

Aggregated traffic/report data to see Trends!
Online or in the app, provide a feature to show aggregated data. This will allow us to see all reports for say, the past month, in our area. We can spot areas that have traffic on a recurring basis, places with repeat police reports.

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.

Amber colored checkerboard for local traffic only
Hey Waze. Can you guys look into adding an AMBER colour checkerboard icon to denote restricted roadway in terms of lane reductions or open to "local traffic only", but not completely barricaded like what the red checkerboard would denote?
It would be known as "local traffic only"

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.…

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…

Make the selected amount of traffic delay visible
When reporting traffic delays, one can select from “Moderate,” “Heavy,” or “Standstill.” Unfortunately, when the box is selected it changes color from really dark gray to black. In bright conditions it is impossible to tell which box is selected. Put a white line around it or have it change to a completely different color.
