Traffic Jam Standstill Should be much slower
Waze needs to read the speed of Wazers in a Standstill Traffic Jam better. In the last couple of months, I have not been re-routed around terrible standstill traffic jams because Waze thinks the "Standstill" is moving at 15 mph when, in reality, you're literally idling and moving a few feet every couple of minutes. I see where the app tracks Wazers, so why can't it use their average speed, which was closer to 3 mph? In the last few months, I have been caught in very long traffic jams because Waze thinks the route your on is faster than…

the accuracy of the live traffic information need to greatly improve uk
the live traffic information hardly ever is accurate, sometimes indicate there is a heavy traffic, but when I took the route, there was no traffic at all, other times there was showed no traffic, but when drove along the route, there was heavy traffic. On the whole, the the live traffic information accuracy is very low, I felt I could not depend on.

Light
I'm not the first one to comment about adding traffic light. But what I want to add is sometimes it's better to go through a traffic light in case of a busy road which is much harder to turn without the light

Make pop-up traffic notifications smaller or more discrete.
Pop-up traffic notifications are too big. I can't see the road in question, especially since many roads in don't have names and I need visual clues to know exactly where the congestion is. It would really help to have a more discrete notification in a bar above or below the main view while the map pans over to the road in question.

Option to say "not here" for traffic and construction.
Wake feed alerts seem to be old and inaccurate with no way to clear or report completed. Allow drives to vote construction and traffic reports off the map

Record traffic warnings
How about the option to record our warnings? "There's a large piece of wood in the center lane." "There's an eighteen-wheeler on the right shoulder." "Everyone has to move to the left lane to go around construction."
Then, Waze would notify us - "Hazard reported one-half mile ahead - [playback recorded warning]."
Two things would be accomplished - the warning would be very specific, and it would require less attention diverted from driving.6 votes -

No left without light option
I find too option Waze has me make Left turns where there is no Lights at these very difficult intersections. I think an option to avoid left left turns without lights altogether would be much easier and much safer. It would definitly benefit me.

Consider real-time & historic traffic patterns for all appropriate routes prior to proposing best route
Real-time traffic patterns for longer journeys are of limited use. Further, in the case of short journeys where there is a vast difference between on- and off-peak traffic patterns, it would be very helpful if the app could consider historic conjestion zones over the period of a few days or months.

on the accident button if i tap other side i would like another button that shows clear traffic or back-up. when traffic clears i hit the cl
on the accident button if i tap other side i should then have new buttons, clear traffic ,back-up. if i tap back-up then when i get to clear traffic i tap the clear button. this warning should be sent to drivers in time for a route change. i. e. fl turn pike 18 mi between stewart and jupitor
2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Love the app. Please add , "Hey Dumb Butts, STOP RUBBER NECKING AND DRIVE!" You are causing the traffic delays.
Way to Tell Drivers to stop rubber necking. The stopping/braking to look is causing traffic delays.

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods…

Report « ride against traffic » on highway // signalement dédié "contre-sens" sur autoroutes
A report “ride against traffic” would be:
- More easily and faster to report, despite stress.
- The other wazers know immediately what kind of danger is reporting.
- Set off the report 1.5 km / 1 mi before the action take place.-- français --
Pour avoir vécu récemment un contre-sens, c'est frustrant de ne pas pouvoir signaler aux autres wazers un danger de ce type, assez fréquent malgré ce qu'on peut croire (1 contre-sens / semaine en France sur autoroutes, sans compter ceux qui ne sont pas détectés).
Un wazer avait indiqué un "danger sur la route"…326 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Options for other traffic issues
I've had issues where Waze has sent me on a course where there have been turn signal issues. Lots of traffic due to a malfunctioning turn signal. It seems that there isn't a specific option but maybe there could be some kind of catch all option so Wazers could warn others ?

False construction zones for increased traffic fines
Reporting false construction zones that, after receiving 100 alerts or more, result in an E-petition mailed to the municipality placing them on notice of their failure to remove, "increased traffic fines" signage when no construction is occurring in the area.
These notice petitions may protect drivers from traffic fine gouging, policing for profit municipalities that entrap unsuspecting drivers. If an out-of-state driver was cited in these areas and had to contest the citation, they could refer to reporting provided by Waze users working together to keep municipalities honest.
Allow Waze users to search improper sign notices, Pothole class actions, unsafe…

Have a daily notification showing traffic on route traveled in advance of departure
Daily notification at a set time that informs you about traffic on selected routes. i.e. at 5 pm a notification alerts you to traffic on the M11.
I don't use Waze for my commute each day as I know the way, accordingly i often forget to check the traffic and get caught. A daily notification at the same time would stop this, it could also provide an alternate route.

Waze generally only shows traffic & issues on 't route selected for me. It would be useful to see traffic etc, on surrounding roads too.

Concert of Venue traffic avoidance mode
A few weeks ago I went to the Daytona 500 and when it was time to leave I selected avoid freeways in an effort to avoid some of the traffic. What I could have used is a mode or feature that takes you down subdivision roads or back roads no one knows about. I ended up going down a bunch of roads that ran parallel to one of the roads I was on and it saved me over 20 minutes that I would have been stuck in traffic.
