I want to report hazards & closures even after i drove past it. like hold my finger on a location and report there.
I like to report things but by the time i open my waze app, i already drove a few blocks. And waze doesn't let me report anything 3 blocks back. Why can't I click on the map and pick the exact location?

Add safety message to remind local rules / habits
When the wazer is going to a new zone, Waze could remind him local habits : for example, in Paris, there is a lot of motorcyclists driving between the 2 right lane, Waze could say "Please pay attention to motorcyclists " ...
It could also be a reminder of the speed limit for this counrty when crossing a border.

short description for all alerts will be easy to undertand the problem in ahead
It's very common in Argentina to see multiple alerts at the same location. We tend to have these kinds of issues, and Waze clearly always shows you the most important one, ignoring the other warnings. It would be great if the other alerts had a brief description, no more than two or three words, so you could know in advance what kind of problem there is, especially when it doesn't show the corresponding alert because another, higher-priority alert is active. I've driven over 70,000 km in a year, and you can't imagine how many times I could have avoided traffic…

Amber colored checkerboard for local traffic only
Hey Waze. Can you guys look into adding an AMBER colour checkerboard icon to denote restricted roadway in terms of lane reductions or open to "local traffic only", but not completely barricaded like what the red checkerboard would denote?
It would be known as "local traffic only"

Voice activated map chat
Voice activated map chat. I get notifications that there is an object in the road. But I'm on a six-lane highway. Where is that object. Voice activated map chat would make it easy to be more specific and identifying the object. Just as an example.

Adding a work area as a contractor
When we are going to be working on a main road it would be nice to have the option to go on Waze to let everybody know where the work area will be what kind of work is being done, and to be able to alert drivers what Lane will be closed and so on . It will also keep the workers safe as well as keeping traffic flowing and avoiding accidents

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"

Remove excess map details when entering/ exiting busy highway intersections with many entry points or circular roads that adds confusiont
For example:
1) I don't need to know the lanes that not in my direction of travel/ against my flow
2) If it's a lane that is parallel to me but something that I can't get into and no need to knowAt busy intersection with 4-5 exit ramps and inter-looping lanes from different directions, there can be information overload and confuses the driver on which is the right exit/ entry lane to use.
Put these not-useful-to-me/ distracting information into a very lightened colour or remove them totally?

Public or private events
Please add the option to set a public event (with proof of its occurrence) to allow people to avoid routes that may be congested because of the event such as a farmers market. This would help a lot of people as the traffic option usually doesn’t last too long meanwhile events can last the entire day, blocking roads or decreasing lane sizes, forcing a merge.

Stop non-local people from editing
I live in a city and it seems that anyone editing is not from the city and does not understand closures or what street signs are up. Instead I see messages from editors in the comments to people saying for pictures of signs or proof of closure. If they were local they would see the newspapers showing how their a block party, or understand where the city posts permits for road closures. Instead you see people from a neighboring state asking for proof, instead of residents being granted access to edit where they know when roads are…

Construction
Please add the road closure for Wauwatosa Rd in Cedarburg, WI. It goes from Washington Ave to Pioneer Rd. It's a significant amount of road being closed. I just joined so I don't know how to do much on here yet.

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

Toll Transponder Preferences (for Exclusive Exits & Lanes)
In Pennsylvania (and other states, such as Florida) there are exits on toll roads that are only for holders of a certain toll transponder (such as E-ZPass) and have no cash facilities. Unlike all-electronic toll roads, using one of these ramps without a transponder is a "violation". There are also HOT (High Occupancy Toll) and Express lanes that require a transponder but may even allow for special transponders that give free rides to carpools.
Waze used to direct me to one of these ramps, which is closest to my house. However, likely because people without toll tags have been…

I-4 Ultimate Express Lanes
The new express lanes on I-4 through Orlando, aka I-4 Ultimate, are finally finished. While they physically show up on the Waze map display, they're never recognized as roads whenever anyone drives on them and it just freaks out thinking I am either on the normal I-4 lanes or somewhere off route. They also are never offered as routes and no doubt save a ton of time when the downtown Orlando traffic is backed up.

LInk up with Highways Management
HI Waze. I'm guessing you already have a link up with the Highways Management Team. Do they fail to tell you all the work they're doing? Driving home last night there was a large closure (M11 turn off on the M25) which wasn't on Waze and wasn't on any of the M25 warning boards either. Seems odd that it wasn't on either seeing as it was coned off and clearly involved planned works.

הארכת זמן ההתראה לפני פניות
When approaching a right or left turn, the application many times doesn't give enough time to respond.
I assume this might be partly because of inaccuracies in the car location, but I think the basic problem is not recognizing it takes time to move from lane to lane, especially in crowded roads.
In my opinion you should lengthen the time for the final alert to at least 6-8 seconds before the turn.
I must emphasize that this time should be the time of the end of the alert, and not the beginning of it!1 vote -
Switch lanes with one touch
It happens a lot that when you do not take the right exit or ramp to side roads the navigation thinks you did and shows you a route that you cannot take because you are in the central lanes and it´s very annoying, so it would be amazing that you could change roads just touching the road you are into.
