Drunk
Subject: Innovative Idea for Enhancing Road Safety- Reporting Drunk Drivers on Waze.
I propose adding a feature that allows users to report suspected drunk drivers directly through the app. Similar to how users can report hazards or police activity, a “Report Drunk Driver” button could alert nearby drivers of a potentially dangerous situation. This could help keep drivers safe by providing timely warnings and allow law enforcement to be notified for quicker intervention.
This feature could include:
• A Quick Reporting Option: Users could tap a button to report a suspected drunk driver, including the vehicle’s description and location.
• Real-Time Alerts: Waze could notify other drivers in the area to exercise caution, helping to prevent accidents.
• Integration with Law Enforcement: The information could be forwarded to local authorities for timely action, if necessary.I believe this feature aligns with Waze’s mission to improve road safety through community-based alerts, and it could be a game-changer for preventing accidents caused by impaired driving.

Hello Waze, to me, there is a fundamental safety problem when I use Waze while I'm driving:The edged font for lettering is difficult to read
Please change the edge font lettering to Solid black fonts.
I can't read it during the day in the existing display.Thanks

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed to report and the flag will be in the exact location because you didn’t cancel it.
I hope it’s understandable what I’m saying.
Thanks!

Cameras
I think it would be a good idea to have the mobile phone detection cameras added as a warning on the map like any other camera in Australia

Construction notification
Construction alerts are far too annoying. This has been mentioned often by users here. The issue is that they are constantly alerting, making it hard to focus on driving when you have to keep clearing them. Often I will get up to 10 alerts for the same construction zone. This is ridiculous and not helpful.
One solution would be to have construction zones auto populate rather than by users. I know this is done with other apps. The state DOT department ms provide regular notifications of construction in their state. These could be uploaded. Alternatively, just allow one notification per zone, not one from every driver that passes by.
I have been using Waze since its beginning. However, I am considering switching to something else just because of this issue. I drive a lot and listen to podcasts. All of these construction alerts cause my podcast feed to stop playing.

Allow Waze map to display on the driver display, for example on the Land Rover Pivi Pro system. Google maps can do it, so why can't Waze?

Vehicle icons too big
Car icons way too large since recent update. Makes it extremely difficult to see roads and the general map. Nobody asked for extra large vehicle icons that look so cartoonish...please revert back!

Can you please place Stoplight icons at all intersections including it along any 4 lane routes.
We don’t see stoplight icons on our maps like google and maps offer. They really help us know how many stoplights are ahead before having to make a turn. Also if the speed limit sign could stay on in upper RH corner the whole time that would be helpful while traveling through other states. Thank you! We are new to the app and love it otherwise.

Expanded voice command for Car Play
Expand voice commands to Car Play to allow hands-free communication to notify other drivers of road incidents, police, etc. This would be a huge safety issue for the driver as well as providing faster and more accurate information for other drivers.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to the same point B if segment D was not closed, the best route would be A->D->B.
What I propose here is to consider the end time of the closure as an additional cost of the route. Let's consider: Segment D will be reopened in 15m, we would take the current time (20m of the normal route) and add it to the remaining closing time (in this case 15m) giving a total time of 35m which is much shorter and much better than the route the other way (which would take 2h30m).

Speed camera recognition
Hello,
Great app but could be even better if it could read speed camera signs. In Sweden, all speed cameras must be notified well in advance of the camera's placement. There are some new cameras missing and if you can read speed camera signs and generate a speed alert, that would be outstanding. I am attaching a picture of the sign that is used as a speed camera warning.
I can send Swedish speed camera sign if you need it...Regards
Uffe

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.5 votes -

Easy Address Saving to Favorites
I've been having a Lot of trouble saving addresses to my favorites. In fact I'm unable to save addresses at all now. I'm unsure if I have run out of space for adding addresses to my favorites, but in my line of work I travel All over the state of Illinois, and return to those locations commonly. I have over 300 locations that need saved, but am unable to anymore for over 3 years now.
I would Love it if Waze created an easy way to save the address to my favorites once it has been selected to begin the drive. As soon as you type in the address have a button stating save to favorites (yes or no). Hit Yes to save to favorites and create the name for saving it. In the Favorites tab there should be a sort drop down so I can sort by: Most Recent or Date Added / Newly Added / Alphabetical. It's impossible to navigate the favorites screen and is unbearable when I have to find one of my favorites by scrolling through a hundred of them only to find out it isn't showing up!
Plus its impossible to even save the location to my favorites for over 3 years now.
This is a Critical option for me and my work, and would help out Many Wazers immensely for this easy option.I've been having a Lot of trouble saving addresses to my favorites.

Refined UI
This may not pertain to most people, but for those of you who use the Waze app in the landscape view may have similar issues. First of all, the alert box for train crossings and red light cameras takes up approximately 40% of the bottom of the screen, as well as the direction arrows information covers the speed display. Some of the other icons are piled on top of each other. If the UI were to be more like the Android auto version of Waze or Gmaps it would be much better and easier to use.
Take a look at the following to see a comparison.

Opção para caminhões e carretas.
Esse aplicativo é maravilhoso para os motoristas, é o mais completo mesmo, alerta em tudo que existe no percurso, porém gostaria de solicitar a inclusão para rotas e acessos para os caminhões e carretas, pois não existe nada para ajudar, o GPS sempre joga os caminhões em lugares proibidos e restritos, causando transtornos e até mesmo sofrendo por multas e infrações. Para quem não sabe, existem rotas proibidas para caminhões e horários, principalmente para os químicos, se possível criar a opção para quem trabalha com esses tipos de veículos. Agradeço desde já, lembrando que os caminhões carregam o país, para quem não conhece outros estados, acaba sofrendo ainda mais.
