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!

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.

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 -
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…

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.

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.

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

last version 4.13.0.4 is shit , not updating the traffic live , wrong proposed itineraries
the last revisions are not working any more
traffic update delayed => wrong / inaccurate proposed routes or deviations
strange routes proposed ( improbable routes , longer and not saving time ) , but shortcuts not proposed anymore => inefficient
again today , I saved 23 minutes versus the estimation from waze on a route proposed as a 3rd solution ... as traffic not update live anymore !!!

Police traffic stop - recording speed
I would like to see an action that is a button always on the app screen displayed that allows you to capture speed and other information about your location, etc., when you are being pulled over by a police for speeding. Allow the user's to review the data at stop point to know their speeds, lets say 5 minutes prior to pressing the ticket button. Also, email the data to the user's email.

Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

Integration of data from europe single access points for traffic data
In the European Union every member state have the create a single point of access for (realtime) traffic information. In germany this single point of access is called MDM (http://www.mdm-portal.de/en/). Here you find partners which are providing traffic information which can be relevant for your service. For example some road operativers providing information regarding the realtime traffic volume or road works on this data marketplace for free. The marketplace acts as an broker between the data provider and the user of the data (e. g. your company). You should take a look on the MDM and perhaps you…

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

Improved Automatic Re-Routing for Traffic Congestion in Waze
We would like to propose an enhancement to Waze's automatic re-routing feature to provide users with greater control and flexibility when navigating around traffic congestion.
Currently, Waze offers basic re-routing, but it lacks the ability to:
Prioritize surface streets or alternate highways/freeways: This would be particularly valuable for users who prefer avoiding congested highways altogether, even if it means a slightly longer route.
Define granular re-routing preferences: A binary on/off toggle is limiting. We propose options similar to existing route preferences (fastest/shortest) that allow users to:
Set time windows for re-routing: For example, automatically re-route during known rush hour periods.

Waze can report a major traffic-jam even if the application is turned off
Remember when you drove your regular route to work and suddenly you encountered an unexpected traffic-jam? Then you imagined to yourself what would have happen if the WAZE was turned on.
If the application can report traffic-jams on your regular recorded routes even if the application is turned off, the situation can be avoided.
I think it is very easy to create such ability to the program.2 votes -
Provide traffic jam alerts 2-5 miles prior to the problem by sending a verbal or written message, or by turning the road red.

Hazard Listing
Can you look into prioritizing the hazards into auto sorting the most recent used items, many roads I travel the most used hazard is pothole, this should be top of the list for me. Next would be car on shoulder, construction and traffic lights rarely come up and these are listed first. you could auto sort based on users last selected or have some sort of favs option. perhaps even list the most top 3 reports on the reports screen. This would increase time on the device and safety as we drive and try to report.
