1. Declutter map

   There are too many icons that clutters map, such as having 4 or more Traffic Light Cameras or numerous parking options near the destination. Often, the parking suggestions are not even close by, and makes the map very cluttered and difficult to see the route

2. calculate the remaining time within the tutors' route

   I live in Italy and we have tutors on the highways who calculate the average speed
   via cameras that mark the entry and exit times of cars within a stretch of road. It would be incredible to integrate a function that indicates how much longer you have to stay within this zone to avoid the fine, an idea would be to use the formula:
   Time in minutes = (distance/speed)*60

   by doing this you could have a timer which, if respected, would avoid the fine

   (furthermore, an indicator could also be integrated that tells you at what speed you must continue to allow you to exit the zone at the indicated time)

3. Editing maps

   You need to allow all users to edit maps with speed cameras and the like. Sure if you want to maintain a basemap that your power tripping editors want to keep, fine. But I should be allowed to overlay speed cameras and the like if there is a disagreement by how a local editor deems them necessary or not. You don't want to add it to the basemap? Fine. But I should be allowed to add it to a map that I use or share with my family and friends.

   You also need a better reporting/dispute system that you can plead your case against local editors who think they own the map.

4. Mute warnings when not using navigation (in Android Auto)

   It's very annoying when you're driving around, not using navigation, and you're listening to Spotify for example and Spotify is getting muted because the Waze voice wants to let you know there are traffic lights, speed camera's and such when I already know they're there.

6. Adding events to the list for people to report on

   Add vehicle stopped in the road causing congestion.
   Add traffic lights not working causing congestion.
   Add police road blocks as well as specifying what police is doing.
   For instance, highway petrol will not be trapping for speed, whereas other would have set up a temporary speed trap using laser devices - not cameras.

7. Use Waze information to Control Traffic Lights

   Since I'm a long time user of Waze and Google Maps, I was wondering if Alphabet Inc. has considered designing a smart system that would use the data transmitted by Waze clients to program traffic lights.

   From the research I've done, the actual smart systems in advanced cities are based on sensors and cameras placed at the intersections which makes this solution very expensive and thus not attractive to third world country cities. There's even a proposal using RFIDs in vehicles.

   I am sure that city governments would promote vigorously the use of these apps and embrace a solution that wouldn't require rewiring of all the traffic lights.

   The system can be so intelligent that it could predict the incoming traffic from miles away using the routes suggested by Waze and chosen by the drivers.

8. Automated Incident Emergency Detection & Location Screen Change and 3 type descriptor

   Unless it is your day job, and even then, most people faced with an emergency situation either as a victim or a witness, especially in a vehicle, will suffer immense rushes of adrenaline pumping around the body, any injuries invoke confusion as delayed shock sets in.

   Is there/ can there be any rapid single panic-proof (user option selected) - such as 5 second hold of fingers on the screen in two places simultaneously or gyroscopic sudden impact detection via phone or user holds max/min volume buttons at their max point for a duration (viz like Apple power down) - depending on user settings, additionally, such detection automatically engages the phone torch in user chosen: static, various rates of flashing or SOS. An EMS (country specific) CALL single button press, combined with further settings-related onscreen depiction graphics and text of the INCIDENT LOCATION, directions to then be boldly shown in large simplistic unfussy print on the screen- displaying three of the most common used international location descriptors: 1. What Three Words 2. Long/latitude coordinates 3. descriptive language versions e.g. “I am northbound on the XYZ nn miles from the xyz slip road opposite ZYX building “ combined with options such as send via SMS option &/or turn on handset camera (where applicable) to live link the incident scene for disaster planning teams assessments if necessary. Such crisis do not offer those present with clear thought either the victims or witnesses as shock sets in, and by providing easy-read, unfussy screen display, such pinpoint accuracy, that they can recite to the other end of the call, valuable minutes will expedite all emergency services response and potentially save lives and limbs, Most of these suggestions I envisage to be user settings selected as to how the user is automatically impacted with the change of screen in such situations. It could vary from a small overlaid window with just the 3 location options, all the way to a full EMS window with all options and flashing torches. Either way, in an emergency, something will help those present in providing essential location detail in those crucial minutes. If there is to be an option for ‘voice activated control’ then the initial part should be automatic from the AI not the user, in case they are incapacitated or unable to speak; the AI should time-out to non-vocal after a period so anyone in vision of the display can see the location, in case they are unable to move, but can use their own phone to call EMS instead.

9. Buracos

   Bom dia.
   Em todo o Brasil, no período chuvoso, aumenta muito o número de acidentes e danos aos veículos, devido aos buracos na via.
   Uma lamina de água suja pode esconder muitos perigos.
   Acredito que alguns veículos com GPS e câmeras pode identificar, medir e mapear as irregularidades na via, alertando os motoristas e escolhendo uma melhor rota.

10. Voice Change Glitch and Popping Sound?

    When using Waze with voice enabled it switches to a different voice for some lines? It didn’t always but lately it switches from the normal voice to a young girl calling red light cameras “Stoplight paparazzi” lol. Also, sometimes while driving with alerts only the music lowers and a pop sound plays and the music returns?? What does that mean?

11. Help improve law enforcement accountability by creating an icon that drivers can press when they are being pulled over.

    The primary function of this feature would be to create a transparent public record of drivers’ interactions with law enforcement, creating a database that could be used to improve accountability and reduce racial or other forms of bias by law enforcement.

    Traffic stops are one of the most common forms of interaction with law enforcement in our daily lives. After a rash of recent deadly traffic stops involving African American victims of police violence, there is heightened attention to racial bias in traffic law enforcement. The problem is, academics and policymakers trying to identify racial bias often lack the data needed to draw conclusions and improve interactions with law enforcement. This feature would help address the lack of data and improve police accountability by providing a record of the driver’s interaction with the LEO from start to finish.
    
    Here’s how it could work: immediately upon recognizing that you are being pulled over, you press an icon on the waze app that initiates the traffic-stop protocol. The app would show other users that a stop was underway (just as it already shows the location of speed traps), and use your phone‘s microphone (and possibly also camera) to record the entirety of your interaction. If/when a citation or arrest is made, the user could log the specifics of the interaction (including officer badge number, type of citation and amount of the fine) to create a transparent public record. Users could also enter notes about the interaction, including if there was any physical interaction, the manner of questioning, and the demeanor or attitude of the officer(s). (Other examples include: users could check a box or otherwise indicate whether the officer(s) requested a consent search of their vehicle, something researchers have pinpointed as a common form of racial bias).

    The app could be developed in concert with academics who study traffic law enforcement (and also law enforcement agencies themselves). Any waze user could see the record of traffic stops on the waze website from a computer or tablet, and the information could also be furnished to academics, policymakers, and law enforcement itself.

    This function fits well with waze’s mission to contribute to the 'common good' out there on the road. Anything that can help prevent senseless deaths at the hands of racist or prejudiced law enforcement would improve the common good.

12. Voice navigation bug

    When I in Settings - Sound and Voice turn off sound, in some cases ( for example road warnings, speed cameras) waze send "sound notification" to android, which cause mute music, although waze does not say anything. It is annoying, when I drive in my town, waze is launched only for control my speed (via gps) and sometimes mutes music without any reason. Please, fix this. Thanks.

13. As Guide of Rome I would love to have a Waze to alarm defense vs. terror!

    Nobody knows a City like mine better than local guides. We note every tiny change and danger, if any around: sending an icon of danger or asking for help from a specific location, warning video cameras could be rapidly directed towards the event spot, alarming defense, allowing to call who sent an icon, for more information, if necessary. Perfect and low cost, since system already exists, needing just a few more icons! Ciao, Ned Fassio

14. Notification and alerts

    Hi team,

    Great work on this service—really appreciate what you're doing! I have two suggestions that could enhance the experience:

    1. Would it be possible to receive earlier notifications for speed traps?

    2. Could we also get an audible notification for permanent speed cameras, rather than just having them displayed on the screen? Since it's not always possible to keep an eye on the screen, a notification would be really helpful.

    Keep up the fantastic work!

    Best Regards.

15. Keep Police info please!!

    Hello. Please DO NOT eliminate the feature that allows drivers to know about the locations of Police, speed traps, traffic cameras, etc. I saw on the news that Police are asking you to eliminate that info. In Fact, having that info makes drivers safer. Drivers slow down, and respect the rules of the road more. Plus, communicating and free speech are our rights as citizens, and as a community who wishes to be better informed, rather then less informed. Thank you

    Removing alerts from Waze is not planned.

16. Option to filter voice guidance by category

    Please add the ability to filter voice guidance more precisely by event categories (e.g. via a simple checklist). Many drivers only need alerts for critical events – or only for some of them (accidents, police, hazards, speed cameras) – but not for every turn or road number. In other words, something more scalable than the current “full / alerts only” options. This would reduce distraction, improve safety, and make Waze more comfortable to use. The feature could be implemented with minimal effort, yet it would significantly increase the app’s value and attractiveness for many users.

18. Emrgency vehicles

    When driving, waze allarms me for cars on the road banks, speed trafic cameras policeman ahead hazards etc. Also I can see other wazers on the map.

    With my windows closed, if there is an imergency syren yelling by, I often fail to locat the exect location and direction of that ambulance/ police or fire fighters. I think I am not the only one feelling so.
    So.

    If all the emergency units on the road wil be on the waze, it will prompt the souranding driversv for rheir existance and exact location on the users maps.
    That will help us all to help them through.

19. Option to Increase Map Symbol Size in Waze for CarPlay

    The map symbols in Waze on CarPlay are currently too small, especially when the map is zoomed out. Important icons such as mobile speed cameras are barely visible while driving.

    We kindly request a feature that allows users to adjust the size of map symbols manually, either via settings or dynamic scaling. Ideally, symbols should be allowed to scale up to the size of the current vehicle position icon (navigation arrow) for better visibility.

    This feature would greatly improve safety and usability, as many essential warnings are currently too easy to miss.

    Thank you for considering this improvement.

20. waze improvements

    Hi, I would like to suggest some improvements.
    1. once the address has been entered, the navigator should immediately start without selecting <via> + <partenza> so as not to waste time (in case you need to add buttons to the side to be pressed within 2 seconds).
    2. I don't understand if the favorites are in order of insertion, distance but they should be in alphabetical order or with the possibility of user choice
    3. report speed cameras, patrols and dangers with a strong audio signal even if the speed limits are not exceeded
    4. do not interrupt the journey when you arrive at your destination because many times you arrive but there is no parking and you have to go back and re-enter your destination so as not to get lost.
    thanks.
