Feux tricolores / Trafic lights
De nombreux Wazers, comme moi, utilisent les feux tricolores en panne, pour signaler des feux de travaux.
Many Wazers, like me, use broken traffic lights to signal construction traffic lights.1 vote -
put in little icons to tell where the traffic lights are so we know exactly where we are turning!
kind of like apple maps, tell us where the traffic lights are so we have a better understanding of the map!

Add a temporary traffic light option
For example, when there is road work, they put up temporary traffic lights, so add the option for people to report it.

Traffic signal ETA as part of turn displays
Instead of just showing the total time and upcoming turnings , include traffic lights and ETAs of traffic lights in the turn signal display
E.g. Time is 44 mins , Right turn at Parramatta Rd 200m ETA : 5 mins ,

Node Types - Multi use and meaningful for routes (Traffic Lights, Lane Guidance, etc)
An intersection always has a node, this node could become much more meaningful than simple turns and could significantly enhance the functionality of Waze (albeit with a significant development penalty).
By adding some logic to nodes you will be able to introduce some logic that will significantly enhance the ability for the routing engine to calculate superior routes when taking in things like traffic light penalties and other metrics.
1) You can collect timing metrics for intersections much more efficiently, and potentially learn intersection timing and other factors which will help produce much more accurate route timings without depending on…

Stop sending ads at traffic lights!
I want to view my map and decided on my next turns at a stop light. The LAST thing I want to do is look at an ad. If I see an ad, I make a mental note to AVOID that place, even if I would have liked to stop there.

Traffic light is not friendly to motorcycles
Make an option to mark traffic lights that change only for cars and not for motorcycles to help the Municipalities to change it. Many motorcycles have to stack in red light until a car stand behind them or wors, until they have to go on red light

Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling. The…

traffic light sequence
Major cities have synchronized traffic lights.
I'd suggest a couple of Waze features to help drivers make use of these systems:
1. indicate the optimal (real time) speed to "catch" the light sequence and optimize mpg by avoiding stops and braking
2. reroute to side streets to "parallel" dense traffic that's too slow to catch the light synchronized sequence (e.g. 19th ave, hwy 1 along main beach, geary blvd during commute hours)
3. learn the real time light sequences (especially to sync the cross streets for the whole route, e.g. going from 25th ave to geary blvd ... miss…5 votes -
Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for level…

Traffic Light Countdown Integration in Waze
Add a real-time countdown timer for red traffic lights within the Waze app. The countdown will be based on official data from the national traffic light timing authority, providing drivers with accurate, real-time information on when the light will turn green.

Traffic Light Duration/Issue Reporting
On my way to and from work, I know of two specific traffic lights that are completely misaligned against the volume of traffic. For instance, at one intersection, if the left Hand arrow appeared for 20 seconds as opposed to 5 seconds, my life would be a lot easier (not to mention the efficiency in traffic flow, right near the Lincoln Tunnel going into new York city).
So how to report this? And to whom? How about a contract you cut with the state department of transportation (or federal, or county, or city) whereby Waze is compensated for providing …

Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.
Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.

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?

Report dangerous traffic light / intersection
You used to have the option to report a missing traffic sign or a dangerous traffic light or intersection. Anyway this option has gone missing from the hazard report.
Please bring it back! There are lots of roads (especially in Israel) where the traffic light is almost unnoticeable and it it super dangerous!!!
I had an accident today because of that :(
If the waze voice warns before entering a known dangerous intersection then automatically the driver is more couscous and alert and less speedy.
Please add an option to report it.
Thanx!12 votes -

Traffic green light forecaster
How accurately waze could be able to forecast green lights?
When a wazer gets a green light, she will start moving. If this information is collected from several wazers, would it be enought to gather the traffic light interval and after that forecast next turn-to-green moment?If this is possible, the next wazer could be given information if she need to accelerate or decelerate to arrive on greens. Following theses advices, she could get a green wave throught any wazer-populated city ;-)
