Traffic alerts
I think I will be a good idea for the app to have traffic alerts. Not just saying traffic reported ahead. Based on the speed limit the app to tell you to slow down because of traffic. It will be extremely useful on highways. For example, a kilometer ahead to display/announce such warning and recommendation to slow down. Therefore, drivers will not have to stop abruptly and accidents might be prevented.

Reporting Queue
Can you please add reporting queue. When, e.g. I am traveling for 60 km's I get 5 or 6 reports per travel, but I want to simply record the location and use "Later" button to report it later (at destination, or gas station), but when I do this twice or more, the last report overwrites the previous one, so I can't post all problems (constructions, map errors, etc.).
I know, for example when I am reporting car at edge of road, this might be old information, but I want to use this option mainly for constructions, map errors, etc. where…

Traffic Signal Integration
This is a huge undertaking but would be an awesome feature. Waze would have the ability to know when traffic signals are red and green based on Wazers. It can detect a Wazer ahead is stopped at an intersection, and can warn others behind that the signal is Red. This may also impact ETAs as well. In high volume cities like LA, this would be a feasible idea especially during rush hour. However, it may not be realistic at times of lower volume. This could save time, allow for smarter decisions, save gas, and be greener for the entire world!

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated…

Add favourite song button on players (spotify/tidal/youtube ect.)
In music apps we have got 3 buttons (left play/pause and right). I propose to add button "add to favourite (heart)" There are a lot of situations when you are driving, some random playlist is playing and one of the songs is so good you wanna add it to your favs - now you need to stop, switch to music app, add to fav and go back on road.
5 votesGreat news! The option to mark the song as favorite is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

4.70.1.0 for Android - disable automatic "recent locations" tab
Why would you even bother adding such a thing? I don't need it. I know where to go for recent locations. I don't want to see it pop up every time I start waze.
Keep up these "improvements" and I'll be switching apps. Stop dumbing down the UI. Quit piling more and more crap on the main screen. There is no point. I want a map. I want traffic (audible) alerts. When using a destination, I want audible turn-by-turn directions. THAT'S ALL.
And TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP. Or, give me a toggle where I can turn it off. I'm…

"Watch out, multiple alerts ahead"
If there was a vehicle stopped on road and a cop in the vicinity, Waze will only alert me of the cop. There should be multiple alerts that could be given to me at once.

Add Hazard for Vehicles Stopped in the Lane
I have a feature suggestion that could improve road safety and the accuracy of hazard reporting. Currently, Waze allows users to report vehicles stopped on the shoulder, but there is no option to report vehicles stopped directly in the driving lane.
Such situations pose a significant danger to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. Adding a hazard category specifically for "Vehicle stopped in lane" would help alert drivers more effectively and enhance safety for everyone on the road.

Simple things that make drives easier
I’ve found that a few small habits really change how smooth a trip feels. I usually give myself a little extra time before heading out, especially on weekends, and it makes a big difference. I also try to check any planned stops ahead of time instead of scrambling to add them while I’m on the road.
Another thing I rely on is the user reports in Waze. They’re often more helpful than just waiting for the app to reroute. And honestly, if I’m heading somewhere new or don’t want the stress, I’ll just book a ride. When I went to…

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way…

police comments
Why has commenting on the police icon been disabled?
I've actually found this commentary to be very useful for telling people which side of the road an officer may have made a stop, in the case of move-over and slow-down laws, etc.
Very disappointing and uninformative.

Stop letting people mark reports as "not there" and then duplicate them for themselves. People need to stop being so point hungry
People.... Especially late at night will mark your report as "not there" then duplicate it. I drive wake everyday every time I drive. I report honestly. I honestly don't really care about points. And I get a lot of thumbs up. And thanks in my inbox everyday. But it's really annoying when people with their stupid crowns following you... And within the 60 min frame. Mark your report as not there. Then duplicate it so they can get points for themselves.
I don't understand it. At all.
People need to use the app the way it was meant to be…2 votes -
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic. There should be just one quick button which only says blocked and is used when the road that WAZE recommended was not taken because it was blocked. Currently a four way intersection has four choices on which part is blocked but you cannot stop in the middle of a busy intersection to tell WAZE which of the four roads is blocked. Past the intersection, it is difficult to enter this data into WAZE while still driving. A single blocked button will let WAZE figure out which recommended road was not taken.

Option to hide "Select vehicle type" button
I stopped needing to use Waze for a while, so I'm not sure when it was added, but one of the "new" changes I noticed right away when using it recently, and that I absolutely hate, is the "Select vehicle type" button that is now ALWAYS visible. That makes no sense. I can't imagine many people are switching vehicle types on a regular basis, and it should be optional so those that are can have it there and those that have no need for it don't have it sitting there being distracting. And even people that do have a use…

Stop non-local people from editing
I live in a city and it seems that anyone editing is not from the city and does not understand closures or what street signs are up. Instead I see messages from editors in the comments to people saying for pictures of signs or proof of closure. If they were local they would see the newspapers showing how their a block party, or understand where the city posts permits for road closures. Instead you see people from a neighboring state asking for proof, instead of residents being granted access to edit where they know when roads are closed or why…

Fix the calculation for stopped traffic
Very often, in heavy traffic, Waze will claim a backup adds a few minutes when in reality it adds a few hours. The code for maroon levels of traffic is beyond poor and needs to reflect actual backups. Waze very often will reroute you I to these and add hours to your trip

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....
