Account for (sporting, concert) events along the route when calculating ETA for planned drives
If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, but there is a sporting event along the way, there will be a lot of event traffic just before & just after the event. Waze could account for this traffic when calculating a planned drive. Then, based on historic data for such an event, Waze could either plan a route that avoids the traffic or it could show the ETA so you could drive past the venue during the event. Alternatively, you could know how early before or how late after the event you should leave to avoid the huge…

Dear waze, could you send notifications regarding accidents or traffic near you ?
Waze tells us every time there is an accident or traffic and shows us the best route to avoid it. But most of the times its too late and we only get to see this when we turn the apllication on and get in our cars. It would be really helpful if you could add a feature where it warns you beforehand by sending a notification, this way you know before leaving home in the morning or whenever you're going somewhere that you need to leave before your usual time so you're not late. Please consider this. Thank you wazers

Visualize BEST TIME TO LEAVE for a given destination (red to green). Save time if you know the peaks.
Problem
You know where to go, but want to know what would be the best time to leave to avoid peak traffic.
At the moment you a ETA, which is nice to know but doesn't help you to plan.Idea
You plan a route, get an ETA and a option to choose the best time for leaving. Could be a color coded (green to red) 24h hour-by-hour "forecast" of expected travel time (graph or simple list). This could include current traffic situation for the next few hours, averages for the rest. Also the next 2 hours could be split…25 votes -
Obsolete or erroneous report canceleation
Toulouse, France : at regular time traffic is displayed as jumped but sometimes it is not so it would be a good idea to give client the possibility to say "traffic is light". Another example concern some events obsolete like a car stopped on road that is no more here ...
Thank you for your very good job !

Allow a start/stop feature for hazzards/lane restrictions, traffic jams, etc.
When traveling through a construction area allow a start/stop point so others can choose atl. routes. This can also be for speed reductions, accident sites, etc.

sound alert for new route
I use my waze on my daily drive, and occasionally when there is a traffic accident, I get re-routed. The problem is that I don't see the little pop-up that says, there's a better route every time. And I end up missing a faster route and being stuck in traffic. A sound alert to tell me I'm re-routed would really help this problem.

Allow report on the point after the traffic jam. It will increase the accuracy of redirection.
I experience waze selection which route sometime was wrong due to a lot of people report traffic jam but actually the jam just a short one. Example: very jam at LDP, waze still suggest use the route because too many users reported jam at NKVE but actually NKVE just a short distance jam. Thank you!

Add pause option for stops
Add pause option to client, that could be activated when stopping by at a gas station or other places, so that heavy traffic is not indicated. It could unpause automatically when the car start moving

construction zones - Ability to mark both the start and end of the zone.
Construction Zones - Ability to mark both the start and end of the zone. This would give everyone an idea on how long to expect any change to the traffic pattern.

Funny voice interpretation
Please adopt some Philippines funny voice version, voices like Babalu, Dolphy or Fernando Poe Jr. As you all know that traffic here is terrible hearing those voices will have some smile on a commuters/passengers. Its a nice form of entertainment to ease the heavy traffic.

walking mode button
Have you thought about a walking mode button.So if you have waze on you don't get false data that traffic is at a stand still when you are walking.

PLEASE BRING BACK KURT DYER
Please could you bring back the spanish voice KURT DYER? It's so funny it makes wating in traffic a little better.
Thanks12 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.

Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes
Let motorbike riders stay on the original route even if Waze suggests a reroute. Constant rerouting can be distracting or unsafe when riding.3 votes -
Suggestion:
It would help me if Waze could tell me to turn at next stop sign or traffic light. Or if it would tell me to go past this traffic light and turn at the next one. It also is hard for me to determine how far to go before turning. Like 450 feet or 1000 feet. Or 1 tenth of a mile, 4 tenth of mile. I sometimes turn too soon or miss my turn. Any suggestions?
