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 -

I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :

Standard avoids :

- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It…

Night Mode on all User Interface Elements
When you're in Night Mode the map is, essentially, reversed in color; light things are dark, dark things are light. This is not true for any of the other user interface elements. Search, popups, reporting... all are very bright and very distracting. These interfaces should also be reversed, that is, dark grey backgrounds with light gray text.

Blue light routing
Allow for emergency drivers to configure routing to ignore restricted roads/signs which they have a legal exemption for decreasing response times to those in need!

Alert in red light camera when only heading to one not away from it.
Only alert for red light camera if heading towards it. Do not alert when heading away from it just because it's in X meters because there is a round about ahead. Have it alert if you turn around on the round about and head to the camera. Getting an alert when heading away isn't useful at all.

hi, why do I have to keep reporting the same roadworks twice a day? These have been at the same spot, causing traffic jams, for the last two weeks. There should be a facility to enter an estimated time that roadworks will be present. The site could be linked to a pop uo question similar to the speed cameras, 'not here??' This would allow others to confirm when the roadworks were finished. '

Optimal Speed Suggestion
If there's a big traffic jam at a point 2/3 of the way to my destination, it may not help me get there on time if I drive at full speed or over the speed limit up to the point of the jam. Waze could set my suggested driving speed lower for a more even pace over the course of the trip. In some cases, a lower driving speed may help me conserve fuel (and thereby create a smaller carbon footprint) and if many drivers use this we may see safer roads as fewer people speed around rushing to get…

Waze is very good tool, however i would like to see other hazards listed.
One is traffic caused by the traffic being back uped at exits because of congestion overflowing onto the road your on. Another is traffic caused when traffic lights are off on intersection.

Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

Tow Mode
I often tow a trailer for work, and use Waze to go everywhere - but often time saving routes will take me down side streets and laneways that are narrow and difficult to navigate with a trailer. Same would apply for touring with a caravan.
It would be awesome to have a mode that minimizes tight turns, side streets or intersections without traffic lights.

Avoiding roads
Allow us to avoid certain roads alongs routes, (toll roads, construction, traffic)
407 votesGreat news. Setting to avoid toll roads is already available globally. It is also possible to mark dangerous zones on map editor level, so the app could warn you if your route goes through one of dangerous zones.
