Problem: many road bifurcations, specially in obtuse angle + multiple ramifications.
Hello waze team here is abe writing a suggestion.
Problem: many road bifurcations, or multiple ramification roads specially in obtuse angle + between primary and secondary non clear small roads bring about navigation mistakes.solution: upon getting near the critical point of deviation Please make an automatic zoom ( 80M radius) to the relevant area and also insert blinking / intermittent dots to all existing ramification points ( green Dot for the correct lane to follow and black dots for all non relevant existing deviation roads. this way the driver visualize the correct direction in the roads matrix.

making sure Waze know what driver you are
the past few months I've been getting tickets because i was driving in a bus lane. i never knew how i would end up in this situation. until i called up to pay a 500NIS ticket and the lady suggested i check my Waze setting to see what my car is registered under. unfortunately when i check it was registered as a taxi. i now know why i got all those tickets. i don't even remember it asking if i was a taxi, i have never been a taxi driver. all im asking from Waze ks to make a…

Enhancements to reports; increase quality of shared/rec'd info
Reporting a hazard on shoulder: ability to indicate right or left shoulder. As drivers, we frequently assume it will be on the right shoulder which isn't always the case.
Reporting an object/hazard on road: ability to indicate the specific lane on which the hazard exists. Sometimes those hazards could cause a major accident. I have tried to add that info as an additional comment when possible, frequently difficult to do.
Reporting police: option to report police in the median. That way, each direction of traffic will receive an alert at same time.

Less talking for directions
No app has it but I would like less talking during navigation and an option to leave the screen off when announcing directions. I ride a motorcycle a lot and any way to save phone power the better but it would be nice if maybe 10 feet before turn or exit it announced it once without turning on screen and draining battery and constantly repeating the same direction in annoying detail. Just once take exit whatever west or East or right or left once. Not an ongoing detail if how to turn out gettin the right lane.

Map & Command more like Google!
PLEASE READ & VOTE!!
Instead of “Turn right / left in .1 miles” (esp. for in-town and city driving) change to Google-like commands (e.g.- “At the next light / stop sign, turn right/left) and SHOW Device - light or sign at corners - on the map, as such - sign or light).
Doing so also helps to know HOW MANY lights or signs remain between you and your next turn.
It’s impractical to watch your mileage in these conditions. It’s more “natural” - as when someone is telling you directions in the passenger seat - to look for the next…3 votes -
The new feature showing how many lanes are exiting needs improvement.
The new feature showing how many lanes are exiting needs improvement. It should be incorporated into the first icon which indicates a turn. If the exit has 2 lanes, there should be two turn icons next to each other, three lanes exiting, three icons next to each other, etc.. The most recent feature only turns up 0.6 miles ahead of the exit which is sometimes not enough time on a fast moving highway to change lanes and it uses up too much space at the top of the screen.

How would you report a hazard in the road later when it is safe to do so. There was a chain on my exit lane and not a convenient time to pos
Be able to touch your route and post a hazard (chain in the road) after you have stopped at a later time and it is safe to post.

User preferences for level of detail in turn instructions
I keep my audio set to "Alerts only" and am familiar with my metro area's turns and continuations and, when I preview my route's turns, I like for the list of instructions to be as concise as possible. I like that "View Only" instructions don't show up in that route preview.
But, for a turn instruction to be spoken, it must also be included in that list of instructions. This makes it more difficult for me to distinguish the key turns on my route; it may also be an unnecessary level of detail for other drivers who are already familiar…

Link address from other apps
Most functional Waze yet! Navigation seems spot on and not obtrusive like Google's offering. Main thing is Waze is really accurate! Google Maps loses its way and gets me lost! Like the fresh look of Waze. Loads really fast on Note 4 Marshmallow. Love the send ETA so people I choose can monitor my drive in real time!
Few wish list items and believe me, not trying to turn Waze into Google Maps! So just the essentials..
Could use lane assist.
Need to get links from Yelp, Google Now, and other websites to share the actual destination not unknown street…

Street Name Display Optional
Hello,
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the navigation interface in Waze. Currently, street names are displayed systematically, which can clutter the screen and reduce the clarity of essential guidance elements (arrows, distances, lane instructions).
I propose adding an option to:
- disable the automatic display of street names during navigation;
- or limit their appearance to the immediate vicinity of the destination, where this information is truly useful for identifying the final location.This would allow for a cleaner, more readable interface and reduce distractions, especially in dense urban environments.
Thank you for your continued work and attention…

Vehicle on hard shoulder
Perhaps the wording of "Vehicle on hard shoulder" could be changed to "Broken down vehicle obstruction" or something else similar. This way it is only added when a vehicle is in a live lane. I find a lot of people add this report when the vehicle is not in the way, sometimes just in a layby even. There is no need for the report and just causes unnecessary traffic delays. It would be the same as saying "Lamppost ahead" if it's not in the road or obstructing traffic, then I feel the report is more of a distraction than…

You need to give a FUK!
You can make your product safer, if you just gave a FUK! Meaning, "Frequently Used Keys"! I LOVE your product! I live by it when I drive! I report as much as I can to make Waze as accurate as possible!
I tend to report alot of cars broken down on the side of the road. Yellow dot, hazard, car broken, on the shoulder. 4 keys to push to report something so common!?! So why not have FUKs to make reporting easier, quicker, and safer? Whereas, I only hit ONE key to report something I report often?
Cops visible? Give…1 vote -
Flag when route contains tolls
Yesterday I was going from Kfar Saba to Tel Aviv in the morning and the route ended costing me over a 150 NIS.
I often use Waze and trust it so I put in the address and followed the route. At some point I realized that it was taking me to Road 6 (which I didn't want to take because I am with a rental car at the moment and they charge extra) it was too late to turn back at that point so I proceeded. Only to discover that the route was now taking me to the fast lane…

Enable drawing polygon areas Where Closures Cannot Be Applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

Show visual instructions for "View Only"
For a View Only instruction, only a "Continue" instruction is currently shown in the app along with the lanes. It should also show visual instructions that are set by editors in the WME Turn Instructions panel.

Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate
Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate, such as, Restrictions of Entry (Guests-only, Guests and Residents, Residents-only, Construction-only, All Types Available Access), Restrictions of Roadway (Narrow Road, Unpaved Road, Separate Lane for Guests, etc.), and Times of Guest Availability (Primarily for Gated Communities that employ staff and have to revolve around Holidays, Night Time Restriction Hours, etc.).
I'm a Spark Delivery Driver for the Jasper, GA area and roughly 80% of the gates that I encounter are Private Resident Gates with 20% of them being Gated Community…

Environmental Related Hazards
There should be a hazard option to report any weather conditions like any objects on fire that are on the road or on the shoulder. I suggest this as I was just on the QEW and there was a grass fire that had cause heavy traffic and I went to report it and there was no option to. I feel if there were more environmental related hazards that could be available for reporting, it will not only inform other drivers of the situation so that they can navigate out of the way to prevent less of a traffic jam and…

I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.
In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.
Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher…

My complaint is that if there are 2 right turn lanes or 2 left turn lanes and an immediate turn is next, it would be helpful for the Waze voice to direct me which turn lanes to be in for my next turn. I have the Newest Version of Waze on my phone and still having this issue in St. Louis, MO
