Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on the roadmap yet. Adding this on here, as suggested by a UK Country Administrator.

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.

Velocidad al avisar de radar
Al avisar de un radar de velocidad estaría muy bueno que avise también la velocidad máxima que el mismo controla, de forma de no tener que andar mirando el mapa para saber cual es la velocidad máxima permitida en dicha calle.

Pothole confirmation
Hello. We have many potholes on roads in Ukraine. They are correctly marked by wazers/users. Why waze asks me every time, each pothole, is it still there? Yes, if it was marked, it will be there for months, or even a year. It will not disappear in 15 minutes! Please fix this issue. It really distracts me. If the pothole was marked by 2 or 3 person, it is permanent. For the next few weeks it will be there for sure! No need to ask each driver, is it still there? If the pothole already exists on a road, it will not disappear in 15 minutes. Please make it permanent for the next month or 2-3 weeks. Thanks.

Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver safety and awareness, I strongly request that you restore the high-contrast red color for these specific enforcement alerts.Message:

Have the correct 407 toll price
At the moment Waze is showing a price of $13.24 to take the 407 from Pearson Airport to Brock Rd. But if you look at the price on the 407 app it shows $38.50. Please update the prices!

Average speed
When entering average speed segment a "ghost driver" could appear in the green bar. It would drive at speed limit and user could gauge if on average they are driving quicker or slower.

Move control button to right hand side on right hand drive vehicle vehicles in Australia
Randomly sometimes the reporting buttons come up on my right hand side of screen close to my steering wheel on right hand drive car in Australia but doesn’t stay there. It usually opens up on the left-hand side which is a bit far to reach across the car to work anything can this be made? So it stays on the right hand side of the screen for a right hand drive car in Australia.

Voices preview and favorites
I've noticed a few things that could be improved: 1. why not preview the voice directions before we choose one.
2. instead of scrolling through the voices all the time why not have a favorite option to add which ones you like and change between them easier.5 votes -
ICE
With everything thats going on and how hard this is on all families. Illegal or not i suggest adding something that says ICE reported for immigration custom enforcement like you have one that says police reported ahead. This would help many families be aware.

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

Stop auto re-routing to save nominal time.
Perhaps the greatest problem with Waze is when the inconvenience of taking a nonstandard route is not proportional to the time savings the new route provides. All too often I’m taken on an insane route in comparison to the normal one just to save two minutes.
I would like to prevent Waze from automatically rerouting (or suggesting an alternative “best route”) unless the new route saves 10 minutes of the total “mainstream” route time.
Perhaps people could choose different thresholds for reroutes.
I hate it when all of a sudden I’m rerouted in traffic on the highway to take the next exit in half a mile and I struggle to get over in bumper-to-bumper traffic just to find out I’m getting off the highway and back on the highway to save 60 seconds.

Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation with 3D illustrations
Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation
The current Waze display on the BMW X1's 8-inch screen utilizes the full space but lacks critical lane-level detail, especially during complex maneuvers. Implementing enhanced 3D illustrations for specific challenging road features would significantly improve driver clarity and safety.- Complex Interchanges and Lane Guidance For junctions where a simple directional arrow is insufficient, a dynamic 3D view is needed to guide drivers into the correct lane well in advance.
Motorway Splits and Exits:
Need: Show complex motorway splits (e.g., merging onto two separate dual carriageway A-roads) and exits.
Proposed Feature: Display a 3D-rendered sign and road environment that clearly highlights the correct exit and required lane. This should appear several hundred meters before the split, with a countdown timer or distance marker.
Sequential Close Junctions:
Need: Guidance for immediate, sequential turns (e.g., turn right at the first light, then an immediate left at the second).
Proposed Feature: The 3D view should highlight the recommended lane for the first maneuver and then transition to highlight the required lane for the second maneuver as the driver approaches the second set of traffic lights.
- Multi-Lane Roundabouts (Including Double Roundabouts) Navigating multi-lane or double roundabouts requires clear, pre-emptive lane instruction.
Proposed Feature: Display an aerial 3D illustration of the entire roundabout. This view must show all entry lanes and highlight the exact lane the driver needs to enter the roundabout in, ensuring they are positioned correctly to take their designated exit. This instruction must be given sufficiently in advance of the approach.
- Motorway Exit Continuation Often, the most challenging part of a motorway journey is not the exit itself, but knowing which lane to be in immediately after the exit to prepare for the next turn or merge.
Proposed Feature: Upon exiting the motorway, display a transitional 3D view showing the layout of the receiving road. This illustration should:
Clearly indicate the total number of lanes on the new road.
Highlight the specific lane the driver should move into (or remain in) to facilitate the very next step in the navigation (e.g., preparing for an upcoming slip road, merge, or turn).

Shadow the Hedgehog
I see you recently introduced Sonic as a Navigator and he's already super fun and gives me the happiest time while driving. I was wondering in the spirit of rivals, could we get a shadow version too to go along with it. Keanu Reeves, David Humphrey, Jason Griffith, or Kirk Thorton!

Give us the option to keep depereciated icons\voices
Please can you stop taking away the icons and voice that we like and just ask us if we want to pay something and just keep them, it costs you nothing once you've licensed the product\voice and I for one miss T-Pain but taking away my Ecto-1 is just a low blow Waze and I don't like that you're doing it without even giving us the option to keep it. you've made my Waze just that little bit worse today......
