Two Red Light warning are better than one!
One of the most serious offenses in the traffic laws for vehicles is crossing a red light. The big problem of the State of Israel is that the focus is on enforcement and not prevention.
Other cases of crossing a red light are pedestrians looking at cell phones and other distractions that may result in tragedy. The user will receive an explosive message that there is a red light at the traffic light and thus prevent the next accident. In recent years, the Ministry of Communications has been working to allocate additional frequencies and allow the use of these frequencies…2 votes -

Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

please add a tool which changs two one-way segments to one two-way segment (with same traffic data)
In the past, a lot of paths have been drawn with two separate segments.
If we want to unite them, we need a tool to transfer their traffic information to the new segment.
We ask WIZ programmers to find a way to do this.2 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

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.

improving the interaction with the application by making it easier to use traffic estimation
most drivers do not need to plan a route in order to find out about the right direction to point b, but you need to view the traffic situation on the roads in general, it is especially important when there are many points in one day, therefore, in the Yandex Navigator application, you can evaluate traffic without choosing a trip on a sick scale and view the entire city on the map with traffic load rates, for example, from 1 to 10.

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…

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

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 -

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.

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,…

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

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.
