    When sharing the itinerary, his color change blue to green light, the contrast with the rest of the map is not enough.

  2. Rotas de risco

    Bom dia! Sou usuária deste maravilhoso aplicativo há algum tempo e gostaria de parabenizá-los pela criação. Porém, algumas vezes já ocorreu da rota selecionada me enviar para dentro de favelas e áreas de risco sem nenhum alerta prévio sobre isso!Já passei por situação bastante perigosa numa violenta favela próxima de BH, um atalho indicado pelo Waze. Solicito que integrem com as informações de geoprocessamento de áreas de risco para evitar situações como a de Niterói, com a morte de uma mulher.
    Grata pela atenção e certa de que cuidarão deste importante detalhe.

  3. Mute specific notifications at specific locations

    I want to know about cars on shoulder, hazards on road etc but I want to be be able to mute specific alerts by location : I know there is a speed camera and pot holes on my normal route and want to mute those but not mute all other items for same items on the rest of my drive. Shouldn’t be an all or nothing alert system. Need a MUTE THIS NOTIFICATION FOR THIS LOCATION ONLY option.

  4. Temporary private roads <-> RTC

    Concerning roadworks, city nowadays more and more define areas around the closed roads as temporary private roads to route traffic around the closed areas. Now we have no there solution but to close those roads also, but this results in many URs stating that the roads are not closed for the inhabitants or customers of the businesses located there. Would it be possible to create a sort of RTP (Realtime Private road) like the closures we have now?

  5. WAZE to avoid ULEZ zones - type in your vehicle reg before travel?

    In April 2019 central London areas operate a 24/7 charge for vehicles which don't pass the ultra low emissions zone. This is the same boundaries as the congestion charge. This is in effect a toll. The only way I can see WAZE controlling this is that the driver must enter their reg that they are driving so that WAZE knows to avoid this toll. My car for example will fall short of the ULEZ, whereas my girlfriends will not so it is dependent on what you drive. Will WAZE build this into their app as a way of avoiding…

    Great news! The feature to avoid ULEZ is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

  6. ALERTAS NAS ÁREAS DE RISCOS

    Boa tarde, gostaria de enviar uma pequena sugestão para equipe do waze, teria como inserir no aplicativo as Áreas de riscos com alertas em cores, EX: Ao chegar perto de uma comunidade o waze emitir ou lançar um alerta em cores, alertando aos motoristas que esta próximo ou entrando em uma área de risco, as cores de alerta seria as seguintes cores: VERDE: Área tranquila, AMARELA: Área em alerta e VERMELHO: Área perigosa, assim deixando os motoristas em atenção em situação de atividades o tempo todo, eu mesmo já fui vitima de cair dentro de uma comunidade.

  7. Tarhe Traffic (road limitation) in Tehran, Iran

    Basically there are limitations on roads that you can have access to during the day in Tehran, Iran. There are areas that you can access only if you have the permit for the day and there are areas that you can access based on your plate ending number. So for example if you have even number ending plate then you can pas from these areas only on even days of the week.
    These are issues that waze does not put into consideration while it is navigating and you can easily get fined by passing from these area

  8. Privacy: Exposure Minimization Technique

    A nice privacy enhancement would be to set this up so that when you are within a half mile, or (even better) within a user defined radius of your destination, to automatically go invisible. Another alternative would be to set it up so that if Δ(X,Y) is all within a small area - such as 10 feet to the toilet and 10 feet back (for those that can’t let go of the phone) that the client stops reporting user data.

    I understand that the 2 minute delay is a way of mitigating privacy… However, my wife got home last night…

  9. Smart Alarm Clock using Traffic Data

    Waze should have alarm clock functionality so that if your daily commute is expected to take 20 minutes longer than normal because of traffic then it will wake you up 20 minutes early. Or this could be a separate app that uses Waze's traffic flow data. This would be especially useful to those of us that live in areas where snowstorms can wreak havoc with traffic flows.

  10. Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)

    I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).

    The problem with…

  11. Have an OPTION for arriving on the same-side of the street as the destination.

    This would apply mostly to cities but it could also apply in other congested areas. Arriving on the wrong side of the street in a city situation can be as bad as arriving several blocks away since in order to turn into the parking for the building you cannot crossover the heavy traffic or possibly a median. Instead you have to come up with your own way of circling around (and there may be many 1-way streets to thwart you) to get your vehicle on the same side of the street as the destination so you can park/drop off…

  12. Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help driver to avoid forbidden streets

    Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help the driver to avoid forbidden streets. In urban areas in the Nordic countries it is becoming more common that local politicians forbid driving cars with winter tires with studs on some streets with high pollution. When creating a route to a destination, Waze do not take into account that some of the streets may be restricted due to this. This is becoming a problem since the driver need to be a local to know where not to drive. Signs showing the restriction are always present but will…

  13. User rating on intersection after you reach destination

    Please give us the ability to rate our ability to turn at any or all intersections when we reach our destination if we choose to.

    Example: "Please rate your ease of turning (left or right) at any or all intersections in your route."

    Waze always tells me to try a left turn at rush hour in a particular area that would take ten minutes sitting at the stop sign waiting for traffic to thin enough to make it accross assuming the other side is ALSO clear...

  15. Evacuation zones

    I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.

    We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.

    1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is…

  19. Add more levels too Avoid Highway option

    With the Avoid Highway option off, Waze is way too aggressive in routing to freeways. The the Avoid Highway on, all types of highways are avoided from minor to freeway. There should be additional options to Avoid Freeways, Avoid Major Highways and Freeways.

    Yes, Waze is supposed to figure out the best route based on information without this level of direction, but in fact it does not, at least in some areas. These options would allow some user input based on experience in directing the routing.

    This would be especially useful for trips that include multiple type of environments…
