shortcut on the screen for a favorite report
Hello Waze team. I have the following suggestion - make a shortcut on the screen for a favorite (selectable) report. This is much safer while driving. For example, I only mark mobile speed cameras. Thank you :)

New UI Android auto
I use Waze in Android auto even when not navigating to particular point. I have it open all the time to see updates on the road such as risk, traffic or speed cameras :) After connecting wirelessly to Android auto I always get popup suggesting addresses where I want to go. I have to tap small X button to close because it is covering half of the screen. This is happening after latest update and it is really distracting when I already drive. Connection wirelessly to Android auto takes 15-20 seconds after start so I already drive. Not safe.…

Wazecam
Bonjour, mon idée serait de pouvoir associer l utilisation de la caméra du téléphone ou du véhicule avec votre application. Cette amélioration pourrait apporter une sécurité sur l itinéraire des utilisateurs au même titre qu une dashcam. A charge à l utilisateur de l activer ou non. Déplus en cas d accident sur le trajet Waze et l utilisateur pourrait récupérer les enregistrements pour se défendre éventuellement.
Cette amélioration permettrer d éviter d avoir plusieurs dispositifs pour un même véhicule. Deplus maintenant avec car play l utilisateur pourrait même utiliser la caméra du véhicule directement.

New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa
BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.
It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.
Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.
“It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody…

This is not an idea it is a correction.
The city of South Pasadena, FL did away with their red light cameras over a year ago as did Saint Petersburg, FL. When I am a passenger I alway hit the not helpful sign but nothing has changed.

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

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…

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.

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…

Suggestion 1 – Wazer color:
I suggest that the Wazer avatar should not be displayed in blue, as this color may cause visual confusion, since it is commonly associated with police and speed cameras.
The avatar could be available in multiple colors, except blue, in order to avoid misinterpretation while using the application. Brazil1 vote -
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.1 vote -
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.1 vote -
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?

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…

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…

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.

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

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
