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.

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.

Traffic Jam Elimination Assistance
It seems that Waze could alert the "Wazers" on a road of a recommended speed to adapt that would help "clear" the jam if it is a phantom incident, and it is just a need to dissipate the "wave". See for instance:

It would be great to put toll booths and customs check points on the maps. I have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one. Thanks
Post toll booths and customs check points so I don't have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one.

Having the option to disregard traffic when driving a bike as traffic has no impact on a bike
Dear Team at Waze,
I am a great supporter of your app. Thank you !
Actually I drive my motorbike more than my car and I love using Waze in both cases.
However, I suggest you set a function we can use when driving a bike because, as you may konw, in France, bikes are used to avoid traffic.
Therefore, traffic has no incidence on time and should not have any incidence on the recomended itinerary.Or maybe simply put a button saying « disregard traffic jams »
I can see many bikers in Paris using Waze, I am…

Red light & speed camera warnings do not go away.
Recently, red light and speed camera warnings do not go away unless I close and restart the app. These warnings cover destination time and prevent access to other menus.

add lanes to the app. During traffic congestion please tell us which lane is moving faster and which lane accidents are in.

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…

Popup traffic messages when screen is black
I suggest a function, if Waze runs in background or the phone display is turned off black, Waze not just says, but shows with graphic popup window the road and traffic messages, alerts etc.
Then it if no action was made by the user, the popup automatically disappear in predefined seconds laterMany times for many reasons we do not want charge the phone, but the "screen always on" mode drains a battery a lot. (IPhone and Android)

Alerts Stuck
When starting a new trip, the first alert that appears (speed camera, traffic light camera, railway crossing, etc.) remains fixed on the screen, and after going through this alert, the alert is not deleted, it does not refresh, it does not report a new alert. The first alert that appears stays permanently... it only goes away when starting a new trip... where the first new alert that appears is stuck again.

Street light integration with viewable timer - In China, like the sidewalk count down, count downs appear for immediate and upcoming lights
I would like you to contact me regarding an article I am considering writing to propose that we as they do in China have lights that show count downs for all light changes. This results in traffic calming, less frustration, fewer accidents, loss of life, and lower insurance rates. It also integrates with their driving apps, similar to Waze/Google. I plan to publish this in a major national insurance magazine and get the attention of the US Department of Transportation as well as signal manufacturers.

Heavy traffic duration display issue
I'm driving a Volvo XC40 with a Sensus operating system which famously displays Android Auto/Carplay on roughly half of it's 9" vertical screen. This means CarPlay has a width of 748 pixels, and this leads to a problem with how Waze displays how long I'm sitting in heavy/standstill traffic. Since I don't see any image upload option here, I'll use an image hosting service to point out the problem.
When using Waze in full screen, the app cannot display the heavy/standstill traffic duration: https://imgur.com/a/a45VG9F
The only workaround is using the app in Split Screen mode: https://imgur.com/HjpCsIG

Traffic cameras combined with Waze live map for visual context
Traffic cameras provide visual context for the roadway environment. Humans are visual and like to have visual confirmation. "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Favorite cameras can be included to provide information along a regularly traveled route. This will provide the Wazer with the opportunity to view conditions prior to committing to a route. Traffic cameras can be displayed along alternate routes.Traffic cameras can be enabled when a Wazer is stationary to avoid driver distraction.

Take away the chime that alerts you that you’re currently in a traffic jam.
This alert is Pointless. It doesn’t warn you that you are approaching a traffic jam - No, it only alerts you that you are Currently Sitting in a traffic jam. I have tried every option possible to turn this alert off, or change its chime tone, it’s not possible to opt out or change it to silent. It’s beyond stupid. I Hate It!

Changing directions due to traffic
When Waze changes current route due to traffic conditions, the splash screen that says why only remains on the screen a very short time. It needs to be on the screen longer to be read. Perhaps stays there until user acknowledges it's been read.
