Routing Error
I live on Park Lane in Jamaica Plain, MA. It is a short dead end street. We get many dozens of cars turning onto it every day thinking they are turning onto Peter Parley, which is cut through. They discover it is a dead end after they are midway down, they turn around with difficulty then often speed back up the street angrily. Our street has quite a few young kids living here often playing in the street. These fast drivers present a real hazard.
People who have stopped to talk to us about it report that as they are…

Reports Ahead
The Reports Ahed list is now filled with reports of Speed Camera Ahead, making it almost impossible to see the actually important information (traffic, lane blocked, etc.). I have turned OFF ALL of the camera selections and the list is stilll filled with USELESS information.

Would be handy to add hazards and notes on an area you've seen that day not current location
For instance driving from A47 to Brundall in Norfolk, along Postwick Lane there is a tree 1ft into the road. I knocked my wingmirror off there and so have others as people have passed oncoming vehicles. I saw many glass wingmirrors.
I've accidentally put this onto Theobald road Norwich.. could this be moved please to opposite Brundall Marina. I'd like to be able to warn others of this without having to be sat there in my car. Can you add hazards to alternative locations please that would be useful.

Under fire area and relevant closures in Google Maps are missing in Waze
A severe fire was ongoing the previous weeks near our capital city in Greece, covering a vast area. While Google Maps is aware of the area that is under fire and has imposed relevant closures, I notice that in Waze, there are no closures in the same area at all.
I believe that it is very important for Waze to be able to pull such data from Google Maps in case of emergencies like fires, so it can protect and inform intime the drivers.
Thanks!

Voice Equalities Across Genders and Countries
Right now, different voices and languages have different hidden features - like calling out segment length, different distances, street names, lane separation and so on. There's no reason for this discrimination. You should have all of the features available on all of the voices and have them toggle able.
So, for example, all male voices should have the option to speak Street Names. Also, ALL voices should count more Distances. It's ridiculous that a turn within 100m will be called out as 400m ahead, it's confusing and could cause a ruckus on the road.

Avoid a specific road or place as a one-off when planning a route
I know we've had posts from people wanting to a avoid a particular road they never want to use in the past but what about a one off option to avoid one during the planning phase?
I needed to navigate at the weekend and had been informed a few hours before of a road closure on the most ideal route, Waze didn't know about this and obviously I can't report it until I'm there, so I wanted to avoid a particular location and have Waze route me around it.
I was sure there was an "avoiding" option during the planning…

Get some ideas from the Tom Tom app to make Waze more user friendly.
I like using this app when I travel, it would be even better if the app had some of the qualities like the Tom Tom app, for example it lets you know when it’s time to get ready to make a turn on the correct road it starts flashing instead of counting down like the Waze app does. I think a flash would be more visible or something that lets you know it’s time to turn instead of a count down. I’ve missed my turn a few times because of this and if it would let you know what lane…

Should not need to input autosweep / e pass before waze directs you to skyway etc
Need to transparently show diff route options even if you don't have autosweep/e pass (there is anyway a cash lane!). Otherwise if you don't have these cards, waze automatically directs you to service roads / high traffic areas even though there are alternatives. I just came to PH from CA two weeks ago and I ended up driving 6+h from Batangas to Manila bec even though I did not choose "no toll", Waze anyway directed me to service roads etc bec i didn't have autosweep or epass (even though there is anyway a cash lane option in the high…

Show slightly more accurate directions.
Sometimes on busy crossroads, especially in the Netherlands, for example, the navigation is a bit lacking. There are two factors here:
1) It doesn't show follow up instructions on screen whenever there is a turn you have to take right away after another turn. In NL it is very common on busy intersections to sort 5 meters after turning into a proper lane, google maps shows this perfectly, but in Waze it doesn't show at all. This causes messy driving sometimes.
2) The arrows on screen telling you which lane to take is in these situations also not always…

For turn notification, should state "Turn left in [300] meters, at the following junction" instead of "Turn left in [300] meters" only
Very often, i make the turn too early because the voice command said to turn left in *** meters and i saw a traffic junction coming up and lined up in the wrong lane when actually i should have continued straight and turned left at the following junction instead

Make it Easy to Report False Reports
Please make it easy for us to flag false reports, we are seeing dozens of "Major Crashes" each day in Nebraska, mainly Omaha, that are totally False.
An "crash" tonight on I-80 WB between exit 449 and 448 was a simple disabled vehicle with a flat left tire, OPD was blocking a lane so the driver could safely make the tire change. Fix this. Your app's credibility sucks.

When a user approaches a collision, they should be able to report which direction they had to shift to. i.e Alert to merge left
When sitting in a traffic jam due to accidents or construction, users should be able to report which way (lane) to shift to so other users behind them can prepare to merge sooner and ease some congestion. Similar to reporting a vehicle on shoulder.

Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going…

iPhone Vs Android. Detailed Directions on iPhone, missing on Andoid.
When plugged in via USB an iPhone shows the map on car display and detailed instructions on the iPhone display. Android phone shows map on car display but a blue screen on the phone display, why? Show directions on Android instead of a stupid blue screen! This app is superior on iPhone for that reason. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Blows my mind this feature is not in Android. I want to know 4-5 streets in advanced where I'm going and the turns I need to make so I can get into the proper lane ahead of time.

Variable Toll versus Fixed Toll opton
A lot of users want Waze to add additional features for variable tolls but all I am asking for is for Waze to recoginze the difference between fixed tolls and varaible tolls. I've come to the conclusion that Waze is pretty much unusable for my comute from Falls Church to Herndon, VA becuase it either wants to take me on the unaffordable express lanes OR avoid the reasonable Dulles Toll Road.

Taxi Features / Funcionalidades para taxis
Develop options for taxi navigation such as:
- Routes that have exclusive lanes of taxi use;
- Proposed destination by proximity that has a shorter travel time for the passenger to end their route by walking. For example, if the navigation can determine that a point of up to 300 meters (parameter) of the destination will significantly reduce the travel time, this can be given as an option to the passenger.Desenvolver opções para navegação de taxis como:
