New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange
In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
https://imgur.com/bpKJi9RThe default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.
If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to an accident.
This suggestion is to have two new instructions for these situations:
- Stop, then continue
- Give Way (or Yeild in US English) and continueThis will inform the user that they need to take action, but a turn isn't involved and shouldn't lead to confusion.

Only speed limit. Not current speed
I want to see my speed limit always with a big size. I don't wish to see my current speed. A car can show us our current speed.
But Waze shows both only and speed limit which I need most is very small. Why do we need to see our current speed there? Could you pls arrange settings for it?45 votes -
Custom vehicle
All want different vehicles, is it possible to either take picture of your vehicle or find on net and upload to waze. Then have waze turn it into your vehicle icon vs. The few you have like batman joker etc..
It would make this alot more personal, vs just adding vehicle in setting, which I belive is new.

To be able to add a place where there is trash to clean
Hi Waze Team,
We were looking for a map of places where people drop trash, you know, like on the side of a road with lots of plastic bags for example. Why ? Because we would like to easily organize trashremoval operations with our association to protect the environnement. And we were thinking : what would be better than people just having to push a button on the Waze app to pin point the location of such trashy places ? Is it something you'd be willing to consider ?
Like me when i see a police control, i signal it to other drivers, that way i could also indicate to the thousands of people who want to clean the environnement (see on twitter the #trashchallenge hashtags) where it is necessary to clean.
It would be extremely useful and could be set in a filter so that only those who are interested can see it on their maps.
Hope you like this idea, please vote to clean our environnement ! :D

Long Time Report from WME or Livemap
I think this is something that has been asked and requested for a long time from all over the world.
I think that it would be very useful to be able to insert Long Time Reports from WME or Livemap, also in order to better manage crisis or event situations.
The Report should Be:
Work on Road
Narrow or Low Road
Dangerous Road
Landslide
Changing lane
One way alternatively controlled by traffic light45 votes -
Please add an immigration and customs enforcement Checkpoint
Could you please add an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Checkpoint item into a future version of waze? These are not police items, but can slow traffic down, so knowing in advance where they are would be COOL!

Please add multiple stops
I was a waze user before but when I encountered with multiple stop problem. Waze can only allow one stop to be added and it is confusing. Please make is simplify where we can add multiple stops and check the map and distance at the same time . Also we can change order of the stops on convenience.

International Land Border Wait Time Predictions
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that could significantly improve the accuracy of ETA predictions for routes involving international land borders, such as those between the USA and Canada or the USA and Mexico.
Current Situation:
At present, it appears that Waze calculates ETA for routes involving international land borders based on general traffic data. This approach treats the border crossing as a regular segment of the journey, comparing travel times between points A and B without considering the unique delays associated with border crossings.Proposed Enhancement:
To provide more accurate ETAs and better routing options, I propose that Waze integrates more detailed data analysis specifically for land border crossings. This could involve:Border-Specific Data Collection: Analyze the time it takes for drivers to move from the point they reach the border crossing line to the point they clear the crossing. This data should be collected continuously to capture variations throughout the day and week.
Real-Time Updates: Provide real-time updates on wait times at border crossings, similar to how traffic congestion is currently reported.
Alternative Routing: Use the detailed wait time data to offer more effective rerouting suggestions. If a particular crossing has a significant delay, Waze could suggest alternative crossings with shorter wait times.
User Feedback Integration: Allow users to report their wait times and border experiences, enhancing the data pool and improving prediction accuracy.
Benefits:
- Increased Accuracy: More precise ETA calculations for routes involving international borders.
- Improved User Experience: Users will have a clearer understanding of potential delays, allowing for better travel planning.
- Enhanced Routing: More effective reroutes can save time and reduce congestion at heavily impacted crossings.Implementing these features would make Waze an even more valuable tool for travelers who frequently cross international land borders. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Railroad Crossing info
my idea would be trying to either intergrade the USA FRA railroad crossing locator app into waze or make it so we can add the info manually so if at a crossing where there may be an incident a user can click on the crossing and it will bring up the crossing ID number and the emergence contact phone number for the Railroad.
I feel like this feature could possibly save lives considering most do not know where to look for the signs at the crossing nor know that the locater app even exists.
