"Always Avoid This Intersection"
Waze needs an "Always Avoid This Intersection" feature.
Waze consistently routes me to turn left at a traffic light at an intersection that has 6 lanes of traffic merging into a single lane to get on to a freeway which is also controlled by a traffic light. The congestion there is ALWAYS terrible and easily adds 20 minutes to my commute. Users with local knowledge should be able to specify intersections to avoid at all times. This "avoid list" would be user specific, thereby allowing each user to maintain it (add/delete intersections) as necessary.4 votes -
Reports Ahead
The Reports Ahed list is now filled with reports of Speed Camera Ahead, making it almost impossible to see the actually important information (traffic, lane blocked, etc.). I have turned OFF ALL of the camera selections and the list is stilll filled with USELESS information.

text reminder to pay toll
It would be nice to have a text sent when I drive on a toll road/toll lane to remind me to pay the toll. I am often not familiar with which highways are toll roads or the ones that have toll lanes. The later is the most unclear.

on my iphone I can see the option to add 'closure' however on my car screen, this option is not available
Why does the screen not copy to my car screen? 2 x recently I have encountered this issue, one was when a road was completely closed for 24 hours due to a thatched cottage being on fire and 80 firefighters across the road - the app only showed 1 lane closed so clearly other drivers encounter this issue, and yesterday in central Milton Keynes a road was closed but the app screen on my car only showed 1 lane closed. Please review the system to mirror mobile phones to systems in cars to prevent delays and traffic hold-ups as drivers…

Should not need to input autosweep / e pass before waze directs you to skyway etc
Need to transparently show diff route options even if you don't have autosweep/e pass (there is anyway a cash lane!). Otherwise if you don't have these cards, waze automatically directs you to service roads / high traffic areas even though there are alternatives. I just came to PH from CA two weeks ago and I ended up driving 6+h from Batangas to Manila bec even though I did not choose "no toll", Waze anyway directed me to service roads etc bec i didn't have autosweep or epass (even though there is anyway a cash lane option in the high…

UPDATE SECTION: Warning on the route
Currently, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported, although the road is crowded, we do not know which band to fall in to avoid the accident.
After the warning buttons like: accident, hole, works, etc
Show the selection of the band on which the warning is placed
Let's have options, three lanes.
This will help us whether we are on a road with a band, or that we are on a 5-lane highway
After this UPDATE, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or…8 votes -
Show slightly more accurate directions.
Sometimes on busy crossroads, especially in the Netherlands, for example, the navigation is a bit lacking. There are two factors here:
1) It doesn't show follow up instructions on screen whenever there is a turn you have to take right away after another turn. In NL it is very common on busy intersections to sort 5 meters after turning into a proper lane, google maps shows this perfectly, but in Waze it doesn't show at all. This causes messy driving sometimes.
2) The arrows on screen telling you which lane to take is in these situations also not always…

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…5 votes -
Miscellaneous Suggestions - Reporting Items Not There and Hazards
I would suggest having the ability to select reports and mark them as not there. For instance, oncoming traffic reports of speed traps or traffic that have since cleared up but not timed out.
Also reporting a road hazard of disabled vehicle on the road. Currently there's vehicle on shoulder and you can report an accident on the road. We should be able to note a disabled vehicle blocking one lane.
Lastly there should be the ability to note in an accident if it's affecting both sides (when EMS responds from both directions and closes lanes), when the…

Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to…

Motivate road workers to report road closures.
Some how. I don't know how. An ad campaign on trade sites, a viral video. Suggest to any road worker who is digging up the road to first pull their phone out and mark the lane closure or closed road. Most people I know have Waze. I'd bet someone in the team digging up the road would have it on them.

Switch lanes with one touch
It happens a lot that when you do not take the right exit or ramp to side roads the navigation thinks you did and shows you a route that you cannot take because you are in the central lanes and it´s very annoying, so it would be amazing that you could change roads just touching the road you are into.

When a user approaches a collision, they should be able to report which direction they had to shift to. i.e Alert to merge left
When sitting in a traffic jam due to accidents or construction, users should be able to report which way (lane) to shift to so other users behind them can prepare to merge sooner and ease some congestion. Similar to reporting a vehicle on shoulder.

Road Improvements & Increase Highway Lanes, Carpools
How many times have you traveled on a highway with consistent heavy traffic with empty space on either side and wondered, why don't they just add more lanes? [CA-237 San Jose]. Then you wonder how you can get your voice heard because everyone else is most likely thinking the same thing?
Or you go onto a heavy on ramp and wonder, there's room for carpool, but everyone is waiting into a single line, why don't they add it?
Or there is a pothole, but who to contact to fix? Or road improvement, or on ramp, off ramp are dangerously…

I-4 Ultimate Express Lanes
The new express lanes on I-4 through Orlando, aka I-4 Ultimate, are finally finished. While they physically show up on the Waze map display, they're never recognized as roads whenever anyone drives on them and it just freaks out thinking I am either on the normal I-4 lanes or somewhere off route. They also are never offered as routes and no doubt save a ton of time when the downtown Orlando traffic is backed up.

Bericht sturen om een veiligheidsweg te maken als je in de file staat
Hey,
In een aantal landen is het verplicht om bij een file op de autosnelweg een ´safety lane´ vrij te maken door resp uiterst rechts en uiterst links van je rijvak te gaan rijden.
Maar in Belgie zijn chauffeurs dit nog niet gewoon. Is het geen idee om op het moment dat een chauffeur stil komt te staan in de file een bericht te sturen om hem hieraan te herinneren.3 votes
