Interdire les signalements de police pour un radar automatique
FR : Bonjour, je pense qu'il serait préférable d'interdire les signalements "contrôle de police" dans les zones de contrôle (de radar automatique) car beaucoup de gens signalent ces radars comme des contrôles de police tout ça dans le but de gagner des points (malhonnêtement)..
De plus les radars automatiques sont annoncés par des panneaux en France ! Alors tous les conducteurs sont déjà avertis de ce radar pars le simple fait d'observer les panneaux !
Et ça "polluerait" moins l'écran de navigation.4 votes -

Notification staying up too long and makes information unreadable in the new android auto vehicle display. Close button non functional
Either fix the response of the android auto screen controls so buttons don't require multiple touches or long press (literally 5 seconds at times, even in the report window, literally any button). Cut the time stuff sits on the screen, fix speed sensitive notifications duration, or add a setting to change how long notifications remain on the screen. Incredibly distracting when you have to touch a button 5 times or hold it until the system notices you.

Simplified voice directions
Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Say what alert is for
When there is a pothole, accident or some other alert, these days we just hear a ding. It does not say what the alert is for, you have to look at the screen to see. Rather say "Pothole ahead" etc. The ding sound is the exact same sound my car makes for low fuel. It is extremely annoying to hear the ding every now and again. It also dims the radio/music for a while. Pleas rather just say what the alert is for using your words.

toggle for map when on CarPlay
I’ve been using Waze as my primary navigation app, but ever since Waze was made compatible with CarPlay I’ve been unable to view the map on my phone screen. “Just use the map on the radio screen” you might say. My iPhone is mounted next to my heads up display I have to look down when I have ApplePlay on to use the other music apps. The radio display is too low to view the map safely and is also susceptible to glare. My iPhone is mounted to my dash so I can glance at it without completing taking my…

ICONO ESPECIAL QUE INDIQUE OPERATIVOS POLICIALES EN PERÚ
Buen día, les escribo desde Lima – Perú, quiero comentarles que en Lima existen los denominados OPERATIVOS POLICIALES, que consisten en que un grupo de policías, se ponen a un lado de la vía (cualquier vía),
Y detienen a todos los vehículos con la finalidad de pedirles todos los documentos del carro y personales, de faltar alguno piden plata, en ese sentido generan mucho tráfico y demora a los conductores, en ese sentido, a fin de evitar estos operativos policiales muy frecuentes, tengo la idea de que ustedes puedan desarrollar un ícono que consista solamente en OPERATIVO POLICIAL de control,…4 votes -
Waze on Android Auto drains battery even when charging unlike Google Maps
Device: Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
Android version: 15, One UI 7.0
Waze version: 5.10.0.2
Car setup: Android Auto, 15W fast chargingIssue:
When using Waze with Android Auto and YouTube Music, my phone battery drains even while connected to fast charging (15W charging is displayed).When I switch to Google Maps under the exact same setup, my phone charges normally and the battery level increases as expected.
This suggests that Waze is consuming more power than necessary on Android Auto. Please investigate and optimize Waze performance/battery efficiency for this scenario.

tag traffic controllers/directors
All that’s missing is for us to be able to tag traffic cops whether they be the type that are on the ground, directing traffic or the ones that are controlling the traffic lights… Because we all know that they slow traffic down, don’t we?

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes -
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 and…

iOS waze app remote control
I would like to suggest to add map control commands to the iOS waze map application, which would be: arrow keys for panning, keyboard + and - for zooming, and the letter «L» for centering the map.
I would like to use a wireless phone controller/remote on a motorcycle whose buttons would have a so-called keyboard function and be able to use the ios waze map application to interact with waze map ios application without touching the screen and use remote on motorcycle handlebar.

Add option to avoid specific streets in navigation
Sometimes I want to avoid a specific street or area due to police controls, protests, or personal reasons. These are not always reported in Waze, so the app doesn’t know to avoid them.
I suggest adding a setting where users can select certain streets or zones to avoid, either temporarily or permanently. This way, Waze can calculate alternate routes that respect these preferences.
It could be similar to the existing “Avoid tolls” or “Avoid highways” options, but more customizable. Maybe a long-press on the map or a list where we add “Streets to Avoid”.
This would give drivers more…

Control de filas en colegios
Crear comunidad escolar que permita a los padres que recogen y entregan en la puerta de los colegios estimar el tiempo de fila anticipando cuando el padre sale de origen Via al colegio y asignar un orden a cada auto informando en una vista especial al colegio para que los niños estén a tiempo esperando para agilizar el proceso
