Display traffic jam time delay on the map.
When browsing the map, Waze currently only shows the average movement speed of traffic jams. Perhaps show this as average time spent in the traffic jam, or estimated time to pass through the traffic jam, instead?

Alert Signal ahead
Dear Waze Team,
I strongly recommend adding voice alerts for upcoming traffic.
Traffic signals are placed even on straight roads with no intersections
The sunlight glare during peak hours makes signal visibility very difficult.
Pedestrian crossings and school zones have signals with no visual cues from afar
This feature would significantly improve safety, reduce violations, and help drivers who are new to the city or unfamiliar with signal placement.
Even a simple alert like:
“⚠️ Traffic signal ahead”
... would make a huge difference, especially during bright, blinding weather conditions.Google Maps already displays traffic lights. Since Waze…

Reroute traffic from Penelope Avenue in Middle Village Queens
Avoid directing cars onto Penelope Avenue in Middle Village, Queens from Metropolitan Ave and Juniper Vally Blvd. The latter two streets are much better suited for high traffic volume, particularly during rush hour. When drivers are directed to Penelope by Waze, it creates backup as the street is not designed to accommodate the same amount of two way traffic, and has also increased traffic related incidents as a result.

Early Alert for Standstill Traffic Following Accidents on Motorways
Possibility to treat standstill traffic as an alert when there is an accident ahead. When an accident occurs on a motorway and traffic queues start to form, the key is to receive an alert about the standstill traffic. Ideally, this should happen at a greater distance than usual.

AVOID WARNING OF NEED TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY ON.
When using via Android-Auto, the vehicle's lights status is already recognized for switching between day and night display mode. You can use this knowledge of the lights status to avoid warning of the need to turn on lights when the lights are already on, and alert only when they are switched off.

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Show 3 color (green, yellow, red) traffic time it will take to leave later.
Show 3 color (green, yellow, and red, not reddish-orange) traffic time it will take to leave later. The reddish-orange bar is not easy to interpret how much up coming traffic will take place, when planning the trip for later.

Traffic jam notifications
For example, I am on highway and 15 km in front of me is a trafic jam, so I want waze to notify me, that the trafic jam is there. Is that possible and is possible to add it into app? I was looking for it in settings, but I didn't found it.

Traffic Direction/Headings - N, E, E, SW, etc.
It would be helpful to know (and report) what direction/heading the heavy traffic is moving (or not moving) i.e. N, E, SW, etc
When I see heavy traffic icons, I'm not sure if it is on my route or going the other way. I think it would benefit other Wazers, if I could alert traffic conditions in the opposite lanes as well... similar to Police or Accident "on the other side."2 votes -
Recalculate button and earlier "heavy traffic reported head" warning
I use Waze regularly and quite often 2 things come to mind.
1. Why isn't there a "recalculate" botton available so that I can force Waze to recalculate my optimal road whenever I want to?
For example:
On my way to work every morning (35 km/22 miles away), there is a section of the highway where the road splits in two, and depending on traffic, sometimes going to the right is faster, while other times is faster on the left. Many times Waze would suggest one of the options when I leave home and when I am about to…5 votes -
Stop app closing when in traffic
The app closes when stuck in traffic or stopped for a long time at a red light. That's dumb. If it's important to have the app close automatically then maybe it should at least notify you so you don't keep driving and expecting directions

Traffic status sidebar on a route
It would be very useful to add to the navigation screen, as happens with traffic jams, a bar that always shows us the traffic status on the screen, identical to the one we see when clicking on route summary but as I say, always on the screen on the same side. than that of traffic jams and that it would be updated by adding problems later without having to touch the screen to see it.

fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.4 votes -
Traffic jam duration based on history חישוב זמן מבוסס היסטוריה
Some places have traffic jams at same time every day.
Wayz can know this data and show you an alternate duration time based on history (that way you won't be surprised every day by the same traffic jam).
במקומות מסוימים יש פקק קבוע כל יום באותה שעה. הווייז יכול לדעת על פקקים לפי בסיס הנתונים הרחב הקיים ולתת אופציית תזמון אלטרנטיבית מבוססת היסטוריה.
ככה כשתצא ב0630 בבוקר מב"ש לת"א הווייז לא יופתע מהפקקים שיווצרו באיילון וייתן הערכת זמן יותר טובה.3 votes -
Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)
The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.
For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points…27 votes -

Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Based on daily accident reports, mark areas with a high frequency of accidents as high-risk. Provide a voice warning: "You are approaching a dangerous area with a high concentration of traffic accidents - drive with increased caution!"In urban conditions, it can also be applied to dangerous intersections: "Dangerous intersection ahead."
For turns where accidents are often marked: "Caution, dangerous turn ahead!"
These voice warnings could greatly contribute to the safety of road users. It is important that they have a voice alert before entering the specific section.

When entering a traffic alert, if we enter "standstill" you should be marking the traffic on the map AHEAD of where we are not behind us.
When entering a traffic alert, if we enter "standstill" you should be marking the traffic on the map AHEAD of where we are not behind us. We click "standstill" when we hit the traffic not after we left it.

Add vertical slide feature (navigate / traffic report like)
There are already 2 slide options.
1- If you click the Menu button and slide from left-right you activate the 'Navigate' command
2- If you click the Report button and slide from right-left you activate the 'Traffic report' commandWhat if you implement more 2 slide options, but now vertical (up-down) ?
The actions could be customized by the Wazers or assign a fixed command, for example3- If you click the Menu button and slide from down-up you activate the 'Add a stop' command
