worrisome design trends lately
I'm noticing some worrisome design trends lately in Waze, please don't ruin an app that was almost perfect as it was!
Examples:
1) forcing Google Assitant down our throats, when the voice recognition Waze used before was flawless;
2) those arrows on top (lane guidance) telling which lane to use are completely unnecessary and redundant and take up screen real estate;
3) the new speed camera warning in white down below is ugly af, contrasts with my dark color scheme, and again, takes up valuable screen real estate unnecessarily and reduces the part of the map we see, it…2 votes -

When visiting Puerto Rico avoid PR 902 Yabucoa and 902 San Lorenzo. Dangerous roads. Too many steep cliffs on both sides of a very narrow road and curves, one lane road in most areas

Potholes are removed by bad actors
I drive rideshare and diligently mark devastating potholes just for them to be removed moments later. There may be bad actors in high clearance vehicles with big tires removing these, or just people that don't see them from a different lane. It's likely many just want the notification off screen and mindlessly downvote. It needs to be more difficult to get rid of pothole reports, or allow us a setting to make recent reports more persistent regardless of downvotes.

When I am traveling and Waze wants to divert me to another route does it take into account the fact that I am traveling with or without enough people in the car to use the car pool (HOV) lane. I left Palm Springs last Friday morning at 5am traveling to Redwood City. Waze diverted us through some back road highways to I-5. Not sure if that was the best route. Was I10 really that crowded. Was the car pool lane open.

Make the upcoming lane turn arrows (at the top of the screen when driving) either larger or a clearer colour. Struggle to see them.
The arrows at the top of the screeen are a light grey and a not so visible white.
Larger or clearer arrows would help us older drivers.2 votes -
Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

Roam free in parking lot
If a parking lot is marked as a landmark in WME, let the client roam freely within the area without 'snapping' to the nearest road. The advantage is that your location relative to entry/exit can be seen and the screen doesn't jump all over the place trying to guess which lane/road you are nearest.

Show current direction and the next direction similar to google maps
I love using waze but one thing that always annoys me, especially when in areas I am not familiar with, is not knowing what the next direction is until I've completed the first.
For example, when exiting a highway there is no indication of if you should be turning left or right at the on-ramp until you have gotten close to the end of the ramp. I would find it really helpful if in scenarios like this the directions read "take exit ramp on right and then get in far left lane to take a left" or something similar to…9 votes -

New Motorcycle Mode
I utilized the motorcycle mode yesterday as soon as I updated the program. Great job on not constantly trying to reroute around traffic! Is it possible however to make the ETA somewhat more realistic? I left work at 5:30 pm for a 22 mile commute home. Using the Car Mode, the ETA was 59 minutes. When I switch to motorcycle mode it showed 22 minutes! I ride this every day and know that it takes more between 32 and 38 minutes depending on the amount of lane splitting required. Even the fastest lane splitter I know could never have done…

Police Alerts
A police report should notify drivers when driving within a certain radius of the report and not just for drivers that are traveling in the direction of the report. This would be very beneficial on highways and eliminate the need to report police twice for both sides.
To make this make sense, if you’re traveling southbound on a two-lane road and you make a police report, it will only alert the southbound traffic, not the northbound.

Voice activated map chat
Voice activated map chat. I get notifications that there is an object in the road. But I'm on a six-lane highway. Where is that object. Voice activated map chat would make it easy to be more specific and identifying the object. Just as an example.

Voice Reports for CarPlay iOS/Android
As the title reads, this is a highly demanded feature for the public and users of Waze. While driving and seeing a hazard on the road and trying to tap and report the hazard on the infotainment is dangerous!
Please add voice reports support to CarPlay/Android Auto so we could just say using Siri or Google to report any hazards such as example, "Report Police", "Report Left Lane Blocked", etc!

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"

Misuse of comment section on accidents
I see some inappropriate comments in the comment section like “please die moron” or even posting small adds to peoples business. Dont think this is the intended use of the comment box, everyone makes mistake sometimes, very sad to see these comments. Actually don’t think the comment box is particularly helpful in any way, even if we know lane 1 or lane 2 can’t escape the jam. Also promotes driving and typing. How else would they add comment? Literally not safe. Suggest to remove comment function, screen the comments, or given warning to the users that recurrently give inappropriate comments.…

Please make next steps quick/easy to see
In heavy traffic, one often has to know about upcoming turns well in advance to get into the correct lane. But to see upcoming nav steps in Waze requires clicking to the menu, then swiping to the second page, then clicking Nav List -- way too many steps. Please make it easy to see the next step or whole list from the main screen. I suggest enabling a jump to the nav list if the user clicks on the name of the next street. (I intuitively try this; may have been default functionality on a prior GPS.)

Updates to / new reportables
Pot Hole (Choose which lane to report for)
Debris in road (Choose which lane to report for)
Visibility alert (Smoke & Fire) (not just bad weather)
Reduced speed alert (Australia 40km,60km,80km,100km) Some zones are 110 but when reduced to 60 it doesn't always change on navigation - Add the option as a reportable.
Option to choose specific reports to have audible alerts.. I usually run mine with no sound at all but would be good to be able to select Police / Speed camera alerts ONLY as audible.

Type of hazard
Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
This is a very important reporting option.
Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.5 votes -
Differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges
I drive solo in Seattle. I have three options into Seattle from the North: - I -405 (with a toll bridge - 525- across the lake) or 1-405 (with a non toll bridge - via 1-90) and then I-5 with no tolls at all.
Can we have an option for WAZ to differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges - this is because I can still drive the "regular" road on the 1-405 and then take the toll bridge (525) into Seattle, but I don't want WAZ to figure the time for the HOV/T lane...aaaaagh, does that make any…
