Potential Bug: Reporting traffic does not change road color with MPH to indicate slowdown
I’m not sure if this is a bug or intentional but when reporting traffic (not heavy or standstill just the first traffic option) it adds the icon to the map but does not change the map color with MPH to indicate traffic like heavy or standstill.
Just thought I would share these with the Waze team. Thanks!

Traffic Delays and Saved Names
I’m hoping someone will assist me with an issue I experienced earlier this week with the time frame given for a traffic delay on Waze.
I was traveling along the R21 Highway between Pretoria and Johannesburg to get my boss to the airport when we hit traffic that indicated a 9 minute delay…After 20 minutes we checked on Google maps to see that the delay was more than 2 hours, I had to go offroad through some dodgy areas to actually get my boss to the airport on time.
This is not the first time the delay time frame…1 vote -

Tarhe Traffic (road limitation) in Tehran, Iran
Basically there are limitations on roads that you can have access to during the day in Tehran, Iran. There are areas that you can access only if you have the permit for the day and there are areas that you can access based on your plate ending number. So for example if you have even number ending plate then you can pas from these areas only on even days of the week.
These are issues that waze does not put into consideration while it is navigating and you can easily get fined by passing from these areas automatically.

during heavy traffic jam, driver hit the gas & stop again, the traffic condition remain not smoothly for very long period.

Would be good if Wazers could remove traffic jams as well as adding them. Sometimes I drive normal speed on a red road. It happens that the opposite direction is fluid but is shown red on Waze

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…

Show traffic as a bar on car screen as it appears on phone screen
Currently traffic bars for various routes appear on phone screen but not on the car screen when using Carplay. Summary traffic bars for various routes is too valuable to not have

SPLIT: notify drivers of heavy traffic ahead of time and offer alternative routes
Another suggestion would be when the app sees there is heavy traffic well before and notifies the driver of different routes available due to the accident or whatever may be holding up traffic.
Thank you!!

Want to hear Chloe from "24" tell Jack how to beat traffic!
Jack Bauer relies on Chloe to get him out of a jam, even traffic jams so I think it would be great to have "24" navigation. I think both actors would be for it to keep "24" going. They are looking to revamp "24" so maybe a new version after they change the leadership at some point.

certified account for reporting their own troublesome work traffic
companies working in the roadside should be able to create a certified account for reporting their own troublesome work traffic. With nature, the places, the expected duration etc.
and even predicting in advance of troublesome work.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Disable query to driver of potential traffic/slow down when entering tunnel
GPS is commonly lost when entering tunnels. The app should disable asking the driver if they have encountered traffic and a slow down if the driver is in a tunnel.

Possibly Clear Up what is meant by the "Traffic Jam" reports
Instead of having "Moderate", "Heavy" and "Standstill", why not clarify these categories a little more. They could possibly be instead "Congestion", "Slow Down" and "Standstill". I think these adequately reflect the different degrees of traffic jams that occur. Congestion is still dangerous but might not reflect a great decrease in speed. When drivers will have to decrease their speed that is useful to know, and of course "Standstills" are self explanatory.
An alternative option could be to elaborate on the provided categories more instead of changing them. They just seem a little ambiguous.3 votes -
Monitor time at intersections to help determine routing choices.
I would like Waze to take in to account either the maximum time / average time a driver spends at a particular traffic light before continuing to drive. There are certain lights with really long timing that I avoid when Waze tries to route me that way. I don't think Waze considers long lights when routing. Typically would matter more for local routing than long distance routing.

Turn traffic, ability to report and to use in navigation
There must be an option to report traffic for a specific turn. The reason is that a given road may be moving well through an intersection, but specifically a left turn lane onto an intersecting road can be jammed. In such a case the navigator won't use that road to turn left and find another route.
As an example. Let's say I am driving on Main St and there are 3 intersecting roads coming up, Street 1, Street 2, and Street 3. My destination is at Street 2, where I need to turn left from Main St. Waze doesn't know…
