Location Correction/Change/Adjustment
It would be very nice to have the ability to correct or change the road we are driving on. If at any point we deviate from a GPS route (exit the highway early or late, enter an HOV lane, get or stay on an express road), we need to have the ability to adjust our location on the map so the route can update.
How to achieve this:
I'm thinking we could select our vehicle on the map (currently, this pulls up our "current location"), then - select an option to "adjust route" (call it whatever you want), this…2 votes -

Flag when route contains tolls
Yesterday I was going from Kfar Saba to Tel Aviv in the morning and the route ended costing me over a 150 NIS.
I often use Waze and trust it so I put in the address and followed the route. At some point I realized that it was taking me to Road 6 (which I didn't want to take because I am with a rental car at the moment and they charge extra) it was too late to turn back at that point so I proceeded. Only to discover that the route was now taking me to the fast lane…

Road interdiction in Car Play and Android Auto
This week I came across a detour due to a closure of a road that was under repairs.
I looked for the option in Car Play and couldn't find it.It is impossible to drive through an unexpected situation of changing routes, diverting through a place that you are still trying to understand while disconnecting the device from the car to look for the interdiction option.
Concern increases as we are on the verge of events when the number of closures increases significantly.
Please add the option to Car Play and Android Auto.

Remove achievement points after reporting
Again my main goal is to improve the app and the safety in the traffic.
After reporting a hazard, a car on shoulder a speed trap or else the app immediately shows the points I received for this report. The big problem is, that in that time the report-button is not shown and can't be used. So if I have to make two reports in short time for example a roadwork and a car on shoulder or I want to report that the left AND the middle lane is blocked I have to look almost 10 seconds on my phone…3 votes -
crash alerts
I have an idea for crash alerts to be able to help wazers with navigating traffic of a crash. You could implement 3 kind of crash alerts, exactly like the blocked lane alerting system, where you report if it's on the right, left or in the center of the road. thank you for listening to my idea.

Include a lane assistant make things easier, if it has been a breakthrough in the generally waze browsers can not lag behind in this.
In many ways the driver outputs can have many doubts and thus help in the journey.

Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button
Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).
We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

OMG - the evac zones and traffic disruptions need to be report. So many people can not travel the 5 freeway right NOW ! HELP
If people could report the evac zone and restricted traffic on the 5 could of prevented people going to work or drop offs for school. NOW all north bound traffic is stuck.
PLEASE allow us to give fire and evac notices ... this is a only route for some school and many people use this route for work. A warning would of allowed people to take work off or leave early to avoid the danger and the closure....1 vote -
Replace pop ups with static pane
The pop-up banners showing the next turn make it almost impossible to use any other CarPlay controls such as Music etc. as the Waze banners take the focus. This means that I am unable to change my music while stopped at lights. Popups should still be used for alerts or high-priority info but next turn / lane info should be on a static pane.

Line guidance / colour of the arrows
Hello,
Would it be possible to change the colors of the arrows? In red the routes that should not be taken, in green those that should be taken?
On my phone, the lanes to take appear in dark white and those not to be taken in light gray.
When you need this functionality, it's usually in an unfamiliar place and you have to concentrate more on the road.
A quick glance cannot differentiate white from gray.Thank you

Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate
Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate, such as, Restrictions of Entry (Guests-only, Guests and Residents, Residents-only, Construction-only, All Types Available Access), Restrictions of Roadway (Narrow Road, Unpaved Road, Separate Lane for Guests, etc.), and Times of Guest Availability (Primarily for Gated Communities that employ staff and have to revolve around Holidays, Night Time Restriction Hours, etc.).
I'm a Spark Delivery Driver for the Jasper, GA area and roughly 80% of the gates that I encounter are Private Resident Gates with 20% of them being Gated Community…

ALERTA PARA FAIXA DUPLA/TRIPLA NA BR -- ALERT FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE BAND IN BR
Gostaria de sugerir que o aplicativo informe no mapa quando o carro estiver próximo de uma faixa dupla/tripla na BR. Esta função pode evitar ultrapassagens desnecessárias na BR quando o usuário do aplicativo estiver viajando. Diversas vezes quando viajo, vejo motoristas desesperados para ultrapassarem caminhões, principalmente à noite. E em algumas destas vezes, poucos metros depois nos deparamos com a faixa dupla/tripla na estrada, o que torna a ultrapassagem desnecessária naquele momento. Dessa forma, fica a minha sugestão para inserir um aviso, do mesmo modo que ocorre com as sinalizações de radar nas estradas. Desde já, agradeço.
I would suggest…

Route Suggestions are not the BEST! Have thubms UP, when WAZE does a good job.
On some days, Waze suggests some really amazing detours and it saves a lot of GAS, as the vehicle is constantly moving. Also, the route saves you time. At other times, WAZE take you straight into Traffic or to a route, with building up traffic, and then asks "Are you stuck in Traffic". Really !!!. You told me to go there.
There should be a way to give WAZE thumbs up, for saving time. and Thumbs DOWN for suggesting a route with more traffic with no options for detour.
Saying there is traffic ahead , and taking you there, with…

Would be nice to be able to have waze reread the current next direction ahead at the tap of the icon. See details below...
Let's say you are on a busy highway and you're listening to music, forgot what the direction has read aloud. Instead of having to look down at the map and read "in 1.2 miles stay in the second to right lane to exit 52 for i-295 south" it would be great if you could tap the directions that are your very next ones in the top left box and have it reread them out loud. Less time looking at the screen so it's safer and you can listen to them as many times as you want if you're forgetful.

update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to…18 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Sharing phone accelerometer data as an early warning to slow
Imagine being able to see around corners to know that someone has just braked really hard up ahead
or swerved lanes? Waze could collect acceleration data and use it as an early warning to cars behind.The DriveScore app uses the same phone accelerometer data to provide personal driving style feedback to the owner. But wouldn't it be so much better to share it with the cars nearby?
As an example, if every driver in lane 3 of a motorway is slowing, changing lanes then speeding up again at the same static location, there will likely be a…
