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…

Options for other traffic issues
I've had issues where Waze has sent me on a course where there have been turn signal issues. Lots of traffic due to a malfunctioning turn signal. It seems that there isn't a specific option but maybe there could be some kind of catch all option so Wazers could warn others ?

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.

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

Motorway light signals
We have motorway traffic light signals that are sometimes in operation to control volume of traffic entering motorway system. Can create delays and other traffic congestion which could be avoided for alternative routes.

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:

Overlay of power utility loadshedding schedules on top of Waze data
In South Africa we are often subject to power utility loadshedding by the state owned power utility. When this happens, the power to predefined areas is shut off at a predetermined time for a predetermined duration. This affects all traffic lights etc. Although the loadshedding schedules are known in advance, the specific impact on traffic that day in each location cannot be known with certainty. Often the traffic chaos snowballs exponentially when an area starts loadshedding and often the data fed back by all the Waze users is not sufficient or quick enough to adequately determine and update the best…

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)

Ask about traffic slowdown when going significantly less than the speed limit
When going slow, but not quite slow enough to ask about a traffic jam (e.g. a fairly consistent 30mph in a 70mph zone), especially when in a construction zone, have it ask about a slowdown similar to jams.

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.

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!

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.

Additions on map
Would be extremely helpful to add/change the following…
Stop signs
Traffic lights
Rest areas easily visible on map without having to search
Mile markers - even if only on major highways and turnpikes
Enlarge the speed limit on the map
I only use your app while driving and my passenger navigator uses Maps. We always use both during trips to make the perfect drive.
Thank you!1 vote -
Traffic Building Up
When traffic is building up while driving on the road, Waze will zoom out suggest a new route... And do nothing. No countdown to reply before it cancels and goes back to not mal navigation, nothing. It just sits there with the suggestion to either change route or go back to current route, and the driver has to press whichever button else you get no navigation with the blocked suggestion screen on top.
This is a road hazard as the driver is forced to choose something to continue, and imagine when it keeps suggesting route changes every few minutes.1 vote -
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

Why are traffic jams on highway not announced? This seems like a major need going from 65mph to 0?!
Everything else is an audible, verbalized announcement. Why are traffic jams on the highway not an audible alert to the driver? I find this to be a major miss currrntly.

Suggestion: Can we get an auto-reroute or a stalled traffic ahead alert?
Couple of years ago I was headed home from a 6 hr trip with a 98 yr old man riding shotgun. I was less than 20 miles from home and ran up on a traffic jam on the interstate that added another 3 hrs to my trip.......an auto-reroute would have helped a lot

Residential cut through traffic
Anchorage, Kentucky 40223: Routing from Evergreen Road north to Ridge Road or SR146 takes Waze users down Log Cabin Lane or Woodland Road to Glenbrook Road to avoid the intersection at Evergreen and SR 146. These streets are residential with no businesses, churches, or other stops for non-residents. Traffic has increased dramatically, including trucks. Pedestrians, children and pets are at great risk of injury or death just to save a couple of minutes. Please change this routing
