CHANGE SPEED CAMERA AND RED LIGHT CAMERA ICONS BACK TO THE OLD ICON OR GIVE US THE OPTION TO CHOOSE.
Waze changed the speed camera and red light camera icon on the map and it’s so much harder to see now.
Just got a ticket for going 2 mph over the speed limit because I didn’t see the camera on my map

I ride a motorcycle and sometimes I need to use Waze. It would be great if there was an option to "ignore" traffic and do the fastest path.
I ride a motorcycle and sometimes I need to use Waze. It would be great if there was an option to "ignore" traffic and do the fastest path. Since I ride a moto, I never get traffic.

Trafic jam must be report as a danger. We need that the voice warn us to slow down before.
Right now the only way to avoid colision is to look at the screen of our phone to see if there a trafic jam. On highway it’s realy dangerous.Thanks

Light Mode for Low End Devices
Everyone loves to use waze, but some people are not able to because the app may not work properly on some devices with lower end specs.
The app has evolved to a point where it requires more RAM and better processing power to accommodate all the features it relies on.
Of course, some animations and other visual stuff can be turned off or at least toned down so they impact less the RAM and CPU power.
My request is that a option that makes the app consume less resources be added, so everyone can enjoy and contribute with the community.

Before automatically reporting slowness/stoppage, give the driver a button to cancel the report
The waze client is very quick to report slowness or stoppage as a traffic problem. There may be other reasons for a slowdown--maybe the driver has pulled off the road or is waiting at a really long light.
My idea for coping with this: If the client notices a slowdown, play a special tone and put a button or pop-up on the screen for a short amount of time (5-8 seconds?). That will give the driver the option of cancelling an incorrect traffic report before it goes out.
Of course, it shouldn't be so obtrusive as to get in…

When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side
When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side. When you get close to that area you will get a alert no matter what side you are on.

Tell us which direction the traffic jam is in
Often when I’m driving, I get a notification. There’s a slow down or a traffic jam but it doesn’t tell me in which direction it’s going is it going east west north south maybe show arrows in the direction that there is a jam

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

Add ability to report Blown Auto Light Bulb
Could you create a simple form whereby drivers/passengers could report blown headlights/tail lights of cars around us? It could be very simple; enter license plate number, state, front or back, and left or right blown light. No personal information could be supplied, keep it totally annonymous. A great safety feature for your patrons.

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.

Better lane guidance
I like the idea of lane guidance but I would like it if it says stay in this or that lane instead of saying continue straight with arrows pointing up just like what Apple Maps does for example so that way people aren’t cutting across lanes of traffic which I see all the time and that includes turning left or right onto an intersection wether it has a traffic light or not I noticed Apple Maps for example says stay in the middle or left or right lane I would really like it if waze does what Apple Maps does…

Davenport and dovercourt
In Toronto: The left turn from dovercourt onto Davenport is a terrible left turn with no light and a lot of traffic - it should not be posted as an option

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.

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…
