im using Sygav auto android touchscreen stereo that has Android versiuon 8 that can't be updated to version 9 nor version 13.

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?

Emergency vehicle live intervention alert to clear traffic
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve emergency response times and road safety.
When police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles are actively responding to an intervention, they could activate a special “Emergency Mode” within Waze (restricted to verified official vehicles only).
Drivers using Waze nearby would then receive a real-time alert such as: “Emergency vehicle approaching – Please clear the way.”The alert could:
- Notify drivers within a certain radius ahead of the emergency vehicle
- Display a visual warning on the map
- Provide a voice alert encouraging…1 vote -
Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Calculate fuel consumption and show cost of the route
It would be great to be able to enter the average fuel consumption for certain speeds for your vehicle and then while calculating show also the cost of the route. It can be calculated by known speeds on the road, the need to stop and go on traffic lights, the overall profile of the route. There is an iPhone app that can serve as an inspiration - http://drivegain.com

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…

I used to be able to provide traffic and hazard data for the "other side." These disappeared in a recent revision. Please restore.
It is really the restoration of a former option - reporting a traffic jam or traffic hazard on the other side of the road.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

I suggest that the traffic reporting button, at least in countries where driving is on the right side of the road, move to the left side of the screen which is closer and more accessible to the driver.

Please consider adding the number of drivers to the traffic speed display. The greater number of drivers the greater the confidence in the speed displayed. Conversely if a speed along a corridor is based on only a few drivers the accuracy is questionable.

Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.
Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

Please stop routing onto bike routes
I live in an area of the country with a lot of bike routes. Those routes are established on the assumption that they are low in auto traffic, or least generally local-only traffic. That seems to prompt Waze to guide me onto them fairly frequently during heavy traffic times, but in doing so this violates that basic assumption of keeping them low traffic.
As someone who bikes and drives regularly, I'd rather not see those routes grow in auto traffic as Waze adoption increases. If possible, please stop routing auto traffic onto those routes so that they…

Better live updates - ETA not very accurate at beginning of drive - traffic conditions (jams) do not show
using Waze for a long time - but it still bugs me when I am stuck in traffic that the road shows up as clear and not in the appropriate color. Also, ETA is way off at beginning of drive, because Waze doesn't calculate the rush hour/construction traffic correct. Today is was off by 10 minutes (on a 30 minute drive originally)

Letting the driver know which lane (right or left) is used to make U-turn
when need to make a U-turn, sometimes it could be on the left side of the road or even on the right.
it would be less chaotic and sudden change of lanes if the driver knows how/where the U-turn will take place, especially if there were were many lanes, then need to be prepared early to be on the U-turn lane.
it could be make the U-turn on the right lane, where there is a specific lane for U-turn.
or even it could be taking the traffic light on or below the flyover.1 vote -
Remove my neighborhood from your map. You have made traffic in my neighborhood hellish with cut through traffic.
Your app has made it impossible for residents to get out of the neighborhood during evening rush hour. Cars are now backed up 50 deep at a stop sign in our subdivision some days making it impossible for people to get out of their driveways. It is hideous.
