Added icons response vehicle's that transmit to the intelligent traffic system
Add icons for tow trucks and roadside response vehicle that have ability to report to the smart traffic management system. I use the pi-link system that reports to waze and maps, however I show on map as a car on shoulder, not an emergency tow response. I work with odot and multiple law enforcement agencies. The more warning drivers have the more likely I am not going to be another emergency responder hit by another motorist

Context-Aware Voice Instructions
To improve the clarity and relevance of voice instructions in Waze, I propose integrating advanced contextual awareness into the navigation system. This feature would include:
Detailed Contextual Cues
…1. Landmark-Based Instructions: • Incorporate landmarks and notable points of interest into navigation prompts. For example, “Once you go past the Costa Coffee on your right, prepare to turn right” or “After you pass the second set of traffic lights, switch to the left lane and prepare for a left turn.” 2. Milestone Guidance: • Provide instructions based on specific milestones in the journey. For instance, “Continue straight until you reach1 vote -
School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Please, please program Wayze verbally report traffic slow down 1 or 2 mile before entering the slow down. Wayze knows there is a slow down
Please program Wayze to verbally communicate a traffic slow down, stoppage, construction, road work, etc. at least 1 or 2 mile before driving upon it and caution driver to slow down approaching heavy or standstill traffic or work zone with heavy traffic. This will prevent accidents and save lives

cut-through traffic on residential streets
Jackson Boulevard in Nashville, TN -- no businesses, churches or schools on this 1 1/2-mile long, residential street. AT THE VERY LEAST, warn Waze clients, when they're redirected through neighborhoods, THAT THEY ARE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH CHILDREN.

Show traffic and reports not only on routes in the recommended route selection screen
When Waze displays available routes, it only shows traffic and warnings along the routes, not near the routes themselves. It would be helpful if it showed traffic and warnings at least near the recommended routes so I could understand why it's sending me down one road rather than another, like Google Maps.

Waze not displaying traffic that has already been reported
Waze often does not display traffic (yellow, orange, or red) that has already been reported. Either it will not show it at all or will show it in the Route overview but not on the map itself or vice-versa. This seems to be an ongoing issue and is likely not specific to a particular device so asking for device details will not be helpful.

I'm just curious if your algorithms take into account the lack of school traffic in the summer.
Summer traffic is lighter. Averages over the entire year will be diluted.

POLLICY Suggestions from Wazers
Dear Wazers,
I believe Waze is an incredible tool, but I think there are opportunities for improvement. Have you considered incorporating features that allow users to suggest improvements to local governments and cities? For instance, users could report issues like potholes, malfunctioning traffic lights, or poorly synchronized signals directly through the app. Waze could then relay these reports to the relevant authorities responsible for maintaining roads and traffic infrastructure.
Additionally, Wazers could provide suggestions for new roads, bridges, or traffic patterns, which could greatly enrich both the Waze experience and governmental planning efforts. By facilitating this exchange of information,…

Provide degree of confidence of route suggestions
When choosing a route, I would like to see a degree of confidence that I will arrive at the time specified. More of them than not, I arrive at my destination several minutes after the original estimate due to building traffic, getting stuck at lights, etc. This especially occurs during rush hour traffic. If the app offered a level of confidence based on the proposed routes then I would feel like I have more control over my route. This could be represented as a % confidence based on conditions and aggregated data from users along that route…

Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Add Navigard traffic control [ITALY]
Since Januarry 1st, 2026 the highway system in Italy added a new trafic control system called NAVIGARD.
As affected routes are public, would be super usefull to have it as a new alert type in WAZE.Thank you for considering.

Even better traffic diversion/lets make detours easier.
Waze supports many ways for drivers to leave comments on changing road conditions and hazards, including road closures or debris in the road. The way the app is setup is for people to flag trouble while driving, not while stopped. People often use waze to avoid police when driving, this has resulted in mixed responses from law enforcement. Some saying its intentions are insufficient at ensuring continuous safe driving. Others value its merits like I do. In my work in the field I often use Waze to alert motorists that the road is closed or that there is something they…

Hey guys, what if you can upload a photo or a 10 seconds traffic situation where you at right now so people can see it.
I have this idea so people can share what they are experiencing right now on the road through either pictures or a 10 seconds video and that video is pinned on the map where it was taken because sometimes in my personal experience waze takes time to update its traffic highlights situations.

Waze should monitor neighbor hoods and cities who advocate 'traffic calming' and no right turn signs. So waze can be even more effective

Traffic alerts/advisory should be limited to a geographic area of the waze user.
Today I received a traffic alert for Dunedin New Zealand. At the time I am in central Texas, USA. How do I limit my alerts to my geographic area?
