S-Turn penalties
In case of traffic even light, some ways become impossible to cross, mainly ave. with more than 3 or 4 lanes.
Proposal to include a S-Turn routing penalties in case of traffic in the crossing street.
This will avoid routing in ways with less than 200m (safe length for lane change is S-Turn even with traffic).

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.

Share route color band needs to be in different color with traffic color band.
The current share route color is green which is the same as none congested traffic color band. The same color bands created confusion to the user. I really can’t understand why this kind of mistake not being picked up by the UI designer. Please fix it asap!

It would be amazing to have traffic conditions and route details based on the HOV lane. Thanks!
HOV Lane button would be amazing! I would love to know the traffic conditions based on using the HOV lane. Thanks!
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Route optimization for manual transmission vehicles (minimize stop-n-go routing)
Allow a user setting for vehicle transmission type. Selecting a "manual transmission" setting would alter the routing engine logic to choose an equal duration or marginally slower route with less stop-n-go traffic (therefore less shifting and holding a manual clutch). Based on traffic speeds and stop signs/lights, routes could be optimized to minimize coming to a complete stop repeatedly.

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 -
Show traffic for FastTrak holders in Bay Area
Hi, can you show traffic in the Bay Area for those of us using FastTrak? Adding a simple button to acknowledge that we have a FT in our cars means you can let us know if the lanes are open (or not) for FT users and that can make our commute a bit easier.

A new camera type: Traffic offence cameras
In Hong Kong, we have "traffic offence cameras" (交通違例相機, in Chinese) that capture any cars pursuing an illegal manoeuvre, like crossing double-white lines that shall not be crossed, or unlawfully stopping or parking at no-stopping or no-parking areas.
May I know if Waze could add this type of cameras to the system? I believe these cameras are not exclusive to Hong Kong but present in many territories, including Japan, China, Taiwan and others. The issue currently in Waze is that the types of cameras are too specific, but quite oftenly there is just a camera to capture any sort…

Airplane icon and Air Traffic Control voice
There should be an option to have a commercial airplane as your vehicle icon while driving. I also think it would be cool to have a voice that sounds like Air Traffic Control and alert sounds similar to what you would hear in an airplane.

Regarding alternate traffic on one side
I would like to see a mark added indicating that construction work is being carried out at a specified time on roads with alternate traffic on one side.Currently, this can only be displayed from the app.The city's road management staff should inform drivers that there is a time, date, and repetition setting from a PC.

Access to view live traffic cameras where available publicly on the internet like around Pittsburgh, PA..
In many cities there are traffic cameras posted on major routes. These are available over the internet and mobile phones so drivers can see live feeds. It would be great if Waze showed those along routes or on the maps so drivers can quickly view current conditions.
We should also be able to add these to the maps through the editor and link to the published URLs of the cameras.

More control for emergency workers and traffic management
I'm a press photographer in the Netherlands and I see a lot of incidents for my work. By adding some tools, workers on the road can easily report problems and even instructions. For an example: When an accident happens there is sometimes a lot of debris on the road, even though some lanes are still open it's possible that there is debris on those lanes. By adding information, drivers can better adapt to the situations. Adding a tool to give traffic management the option to give information can improve the safety of the people who need to take care of…

Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area
There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.
62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.
