More advance notice on warnings while driving
For more time to respond while driving to safety warnings it would be great to allow them to come in a mile or so in advance. This would allow accurate time to respond and safely transition to another lane… It would be good also if this was available for police warnings as well.
Thanks!

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

I15 Fastrak - HOV Only
An option for Carpool Lanes that let you pay if single vehicle that shows if it is only HOV allowed. Example California I15 Fastrak you can pay and use the lane (with appropriate transponder) however, if it is marked HOV only then you are not allowed to use the lane unless 2+ however, by the time you go the optimal route that takes you the express lanes and if HOV only it would have been more expedient to go a back road. It would be nice to see if the Fastrak is HOV only or Toll Option.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Allow using lanes reserved for public transportation
Excellent software! Thanks.
Drivers entitled to public transport lanes are guides away from such lanes.
Public transport lanes option would be an important feature.

50cc 45km/h Scooter navigation
I’d love to have a scooter navigation, that knows what the traffic situation looks like and that gives you the exact route. I live in the Netherlands and 45km/h scooters often need to switch between de cycling lane and the car lane, so it would be nice if the navigation would give you the exact route including when you need to switch from one lane to the other. First try this for the Netherlands as we drive a load of scooters and cycle a lot, and because of this, our traffic signs are good to follow which makes it…

Automatically re-open closed roads when vehicles drive there again
Roadworks sometimes finish earlier than expected. When waze sees enough vehicles driving along a "closed" road, the closure should automatically be removed. Or at least flag the road for the local AM to check.

advance direction when exiting a highway
When exiting the highway it would be SO helpful to announce the next direction much much earlier. For example, in ½ a mile, exit roselle road and stay to the right or stay to the left to exit. We have three plus lane exits and waze is telling me too late which lane to be in after exiting. Thanks!

Reporting closures from further away
Closures can currently only be reported if you're right next to the road. I can't always report it because I'm on a roundabout or having to redirect quickly so as not to cause traffic. However, I can pull over a road or two away to report it but the app doesn't allow this since I can only report it if I'm on or next to the closed road.
I think this is an essential feature that needs to be added because sometimes there aren't diversion signs and I have to find my own way around it without waze because…56 votes -
Long Time Report from WME or Livemap
I think this is something that has been asked and requested for a long time from all over the world.
I think that it would be very useful to be able to insert Long Time Reports from WME or Livemap, also in order to better manage crisis or event situations.
The Report should Be:
Work on Road
Narrow or Low Road
Dangerous Road
Landslide
Changing lane
One way alternatively controlled by traffic light45 votes -
Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Comment on Road closures and detours
On Thursday night I was driving from Cremorne NSW to Bulli NSW. At approximately 7:30pm, I was navigated to drive down Bulli Pass, but there was a detour in place, and I had to continue on the freeway and detour and double back to Bulli.
How come Waze didn't know about this detour? How can one report whilst driving, that there is a road closure in place and detours set up?2 votes -
Lengthening alert time before left/right turns
When approaching a right or left turn, the application many times doesn't give enough time to respond.
I assume this might be partly because of inaccuracies in the car location, but I think the basic problem is not recognizing it takes time to move from lane to lane, especially in crowded roads.
In my opinion you should lengthen the time for the final alert to at least 6-8 seconds before the turn.
I must emphasize that this time should be the time of the end of the alert, and not the beginning of it!8 votes -
Quick-report presets
The amount of phone interaction required for reporting is a bit onerous while driving. Tap to Report > select category > add optional additional info > send. I often skip reporting altogether to avoid distracting from driving.
I would love to see the ability to have one-touch presets for making reports from the main screen. A single tap to mark & send a report on an accident, hazard, or speedtrap, etc.
User might even be allowed to customize which presets are present and/or include specific text (i.e. "Left lane closed") for frequent events.

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.11 votes -
Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs
The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...Specifically things like:
"Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot"Speed Sign Data"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data"Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

Not there outside routing
We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.
