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…

Question on red light camera alerts
I regularly travel through an intersection in the suburb of Marangaroo WA 6964 on Marangaroo drive, Mirrabooka Avenue that has a red light camera. When travelling east on Marangaroo drive there is an audible "red light camera ahead" from waze but when approaching the intersection from any other direction there is no warning. Why is that? Fixed speed cameras also sometimes have an audible alert and sometimes not. Is there a way that I can turn this to an always audible alert for all known cameras? Please respond to Semung@gmail.com.

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 !!!

When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead. Use same technology that makes all pop up and ask if you are in traffic also have app tell you why it is picking a less direct route if it's because of traffic or accident or closure

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.

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.

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 -

Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones that…2 votes -
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…

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.

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!

Enable suggestions for change in traffic organization
Via the Waze app, I can now report traffic-jams, crashes, police patrol, etc. Adding a new category "suggestion for a change in traffic organization" adressed to local municipality might be a benefit. I could suggest changes as "there should be a full line in the middle of this section to avoid collisions" or "that street should be one way" or "build a round-about in here" or "U turns should be allowed here". The suggestions could be routed (e-mail, API, third party websites) to the local representatives. Suggestions might be rated. The best rated would stay displayed. Waze app is…

When turning or passing a trafic light, add the words “On the trafic ight keep stright” or “On the trafic light turn…”. When people give directions they usually use the trafic light to help explain the way, I think it will aso be helpful to use it on waze.
