WAZE to Catch Criminals
First as police officer for 35 years I think waze is great and makes our job easier. The goal of every law enforcement agency is (if not shame on them) voluntary compliance with the law. If the mere presence of a police car causes motorists to communicate via waze and slow down, then our job is done without the hazards of a traffic stop!
But my idea is for wazers to help the police get dangerous criminals off the streets. Criminals drive to and from crime scenes and are out in traffic with millions of wazers. Police officers issue Be…

add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler…

local voices
Have directions read to you in local voices. Choose your town and the voice would feature someone from that area and use local vernacular and dialect for personalization and added fun. Start with @pardonmewithp in the Detroit area.

Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes
I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!
I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?
That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't have to choose between complete silence…

If I Search for Home Depot and there are 10 stores within my area, please list them in order of driving time
Search Sort order should allow choice for by driving time. So if I’m choosing which store to go to for a chain store that has multiple locations and it’s rush hour, I can choose the quickest one to get to, which is not necessarily the closest.

CarPlay Suggestions
Equipment: iPhone Xs Max 128gb
Volvo XC60 Inscription 2018- Can the map be made bigger?
- When an alert appears, make it so it is quite apparent. Currently I need to keep looking at the center console to see what is ahead.
- On the iPhone, auto refresh the "alerts ahead" list of items. Have the miles tick down continually. Perhaps this is a good area to fix #2.
- There are times when I want to use my built in nav system when CarPlay enabled. Is there a way to toggle CarPlay on/off?
I have been accepted to the beta program over…

Remove driving directions
This is for the WEB version.
I'm trying to view the traffic in my local area, but the Web version insists on occupying the top left corner of the screen, with no option to remove it!
Why??
Yes I may want to look at route options, but am much more likely to use the mobile version.
Please can you put an [x] option in the Driving Direction box so I can see the entire area.2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Blacklist police
When there are multiple police reports in the UK in one area it usually means there is a police checkpoint, recently there have been more in my area however me and my friends noted that the police also use waze themselves and press “not there” to remove warnings other waze users have put so that people do not realise and have to go through the whole headache of getting checked. A couple of ways around this could be that you require multiple different users to press “not there” before removing from the map or if a user has been stationary…

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the alerts by…6 votes -

speed / progress estimation
In areas where there is no GPS available, expecially in tunnels, what about a speed / progress estimation? This could be based on:
1) let's say.. 80%-90% of speed before entering a tunnel
2) if other wazers drove through that tunnel shortly before, you should know when they entered and left the tunel and so approximate the speed in the tunnel.This would have several advantages:
1) no "jumping" on map, no "jumping" in ETA (as now you stand at the beginning of the tunnel and then jump to the end)
2) when there is something to report in…15 votesGreat news! Simulating the navigation while driving in a tunnel is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Known Speed Traps
Would like that we have “known speed traps” integrated into the map section. For example if me and 100 other wazers pass a certain location everyday and we ping it as a speed trap the data should be collected until the app knows this is a speed trap and should become a known speed trap on the map. I think the same should be done with tag readers cops are known to read tags in certain areas by sitting in the median, ramps etc

report generation to local authorities
It would be a great feature if a master report could be generated daily in major metropolitan areas indicating reports by Wazers regarding potholes, faulty traffic lights etc so that these can be repaired quickly. Alternatively, a program could be made avaliable to them wherby they can monitor selected reports witin their city and dispatch officers or repair crews to sort ouy the problems. This could also be a great Waze marketing tool.

Scottish voices
Please please please can we have the following options for voices Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Highlands accented voices with dialects. If you are from these areas and far from home then it’s a big thing to hear a familiar sounding voice. Currently there is not one Scottish voice at all and we feel left out
