Gas stations
The gas price section is a nice idea, but when I tried to enter prices from a location, I was not interested in choosing a favorite brand (I dislike all oil companies in general). More appropriate would be the fuel type: unleaded regular, diesel, non-oxigenated, whatever (my favorite). Maybe partnering with Gas Buddy would be a good idea.

enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would lead to reduction !!!! of traffic in dangerous RED areas, until the problem would be solved-if at all.
This is a clear life saving measure.
RED points/roads should be defined by MOT-NOGO's and updated regularly.
A public relations buzz must be created to allow the public to protect itself from using high risk roads.
This is a classical example to WAZE's potential contribution to save life and fight road accidents, world wide.

Waze traffic alarm
Every time I leave my office or my house, I need to review on waze my alternative routes, the problem is, that most of the times .. im on a hurry and i forget to review the routes, and even though waze has all the information needed to select the best route alternative, I dont have the time to review it and choose the best route with all the available waze information.
Wouldnt it be great if I could set an alarm for a certain time (mornings, or when I leave the office) and that waze provides me a full report, of the alternative routes that I inputed (I need the option to input various routes) including estimated time, traffic status, accidents, cops or whatever is going on in my alternative routes.
Once I receive this "Tailor made" report for my alternatives, I only need a few seconds to decide the best alternative and im also using all the potential that waze has to avoid traffic and improve travelling efficiencies.
I actually tried to program this as a complementary waze App. but due to API´s restrictions I was not able to get it programmed.
I hope somebody on the Waze family, can read this an implement it! I really need this feature!!
Best regards.
Felipe Mena.

Please fix the new version of Waze!
The new version is ridciously bad. It is impossible to see the icons while driving. I am young with good vision and it it is unusable. Hopefully, an update is in the works that allows a rollback to the previous version or at least the option to make the icons bigger.
Another problem is that in the new version, when you zoom out all of the icons simply disappear. This does not allow you see what lies ahead on your path.
Please fix the issues with the new vrsion. Why did you fix problems that did not exist?

Ideas
Hi,
I love the app use it almost every day!
I have several ideas to improve the Waze app.
• Bring back the police and on road icons, this enables us to see relative distance to reporting
• Allow mobile and directional reporting of police
• Allow inside or outside lane reporting of hazards
• Post reports of police both directions as we have officers who wait in median
• Allow directions to closest officer for emergency use.
• Allow return to normal speed after clearing of congested roadways
• Update routes when roads become congested (immediately without searching alternate routes) this allows for change in route
• Allow time delay recommendations per user
• I have more contact me !Hi,

quick Location marker button
Please add the option that with a click of one button or one touch of the screen that would mark the exact location of the incident or notification to be made. This would greatly improve the accuracy of the reports being made. From experience, reports are made a good distance away from the incident depending on how fast driving, how safe it is to make the report at the time, or how fast one comes up on the item to report.

Traffic condition ease up
A lot of times I'm going through roads that waze will say that the road is congested, when in fact the Traffic is already clear.
I would like to give the driver an option to notify Waze when going through a 'traffic cleared area' that the road is now clear again, also when Waze recognizes that the car has a greater speed as it was posted - Waze should send an automatic message to that Wazer asking how is your road condition 'slow/ heavy / standstill..?!
Please look into my request, I feel it will help a lot of drivers.

Please add a coastal and water way navigation with chart data, depth, hazards, no wake zones, locks, navigation buoys etc.
This would help the average and novice boater navigate the country's rivers, lakes, inter-coastal and coastal water ways.

PREVIEW my frequent route and give me an overview
Let me store common routes (commutes, etc), then when I'm ready to leave for work or leave work for home, Waze would 'preview' my route and automatically send me a txt or email with an overview....i,e., "traffic heavy on I-275, suggest US-23 instead" or "high police activity on I-94, suggest M-22 instead"... it could even be time based where it would automatically send if it's a normal commute day so I know if I have to leave earlier to make it in time.

Cause of traffic message
Give a post question to drivers that are in front of the traffic zone to inform other drivers as to what is causing the traffic. It may also give authorities an idea on how to resolve the situation.

התראה באיילון על מצלמות נתיב תחבורה ציבורית במקום מצלמת מהירות
עכשיו שהתקינו את מצלמות למטרת קנס לרכבים פרטיים הנוסעים בנתיב תחבורה ציבורית
כל 1 ק"מ הוויז מתריע על מצלמת מהירות במקום מצלמת תחבורה ציבורית
שבפועל מצלמות אלה לא בודקות מהירות - וזה סתם גורם לברקסים ותאונות5 votes -
ergonomy suggestion
On map screen, the arrival time is with BIGGER characters than the distance to the next turn (left up corner) and with a weaker contrast. I'm a bit old, I can see the arrival time very clearly, but it is not the MAIN information I need.
The next turn distance is a bit difficult to read for me and necessits attention. I would prefer to see clearly and quickly the next turn distance.5 votes -

arriving with destination on the right for those of us that use the app to navigate with a disabled person on board the vehicle
I use my waze while at work driving disabled people to destinations, the vehicle is equipped with a passenger side lift for those in mobility devices, an option to arrive at the destination with it being on the right side of the vehicle would be both safer and more convenient.

Report menu redesign
Nowadays reporting menu is not fluent enough to use while driving, especially when reporting hazards, due to heavy use of text in the menus Latest update even made the font smaller...
I feel that hazard report menu should contain icons in the same matter the main menu uses them. Meaning: car, animal and anything else should have an icon describing. Thus, making the reporting duty during driving a hell of a lot easier. Same goes with the lane choice for the report (you can barely see those tiny arrows there).5 votes
