Needs to show and CALL OUT stop signs and traffic lights as needed for turns.
In addition to showing stop signs and lights, call them out as needed for turns (instead of the distance). Apple Maps actually does a good job with this, a good example to follow.

Report Dangerous LED Lights
LED lights such as unshielded floodlights or bright LED billboards are a traffic hazard. Adding an option to Waze to report blinding LED lights would be popular.

For Australian roads, no right hand turns at busy intersections unless there is a traffic light
The reason why I don't always use waze is because it has the habit of making routes involving right hand turns at busy intersections with no traffic lights. This is a bit issue in Countries that drive on the left side of the road.
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

minimize left turns across traffic
In urban areas making left turns onto a busy street without a traffic light or 4 way stop can be difficult and add minutes. Ways should have a navigation option to minimize that. By contrast right turns onto traffic and left turns off of heavy traffic roads are awesome

Speed synchronization with traffic light changes to save fuel and pollution.
To the Wiz development team,
My name is Benya, and I am a traffic expert with extensive experience in planning and optimizing urban transportation systems. I am contacting you with an innovative proposal that can add significant value to the Wiz application and contribute to improving the quality of the environment.
The idea: an ecological 'green wave' feature
I suggest adding a feature to Wiz that will recommend to drivers the optimal speed to travel to reach the traffic lights when they are green. This feature will combine Wiz's existing information about traffic conditions with traffic light timing data.
Ecological…

Please allow users to remove Traffic light camera from the alerts.
I live in a town with many traffic light cameras and it is very annoying that I can't turn off that alert. Please make it so we can turn that off.

Report Downgraded Traffic or No Traffic
It would be great if we had the option to report No Traffic or Downgrade traffic patterns from Heavy, Moderate to No Traffic. There have been times where I would be traveling down a road that was reported as Heavy Traffic and I was not able to report that their was no traffic at all. I believe this type of feature would be helpful to Users when trying locate alternative routes. Thanks.

Dangerous directions
I have been directed to cross very busy boulevards from side streets without traffic lights. Very dangerous and often impossible. Most recent example sent me north on Carson street in Beverly Hills to cross Wilshire Blvd - extremely unsafe without a traffic light.

Implement U-turn navigation instruction and ability to allow u-turns at intersection.
In exUSSR countries it is a common practice to use u-turn. Traffic lights at major intersections may have special arrow to allow only left turns and u-turns. But currently Waze cannot use this feature to build optimal route.

Use Traffic Light as Reference to Turn
Tell users where to make a turn such as "at the light" or "the next light" like Apple Maps. This is better than suggesting to turn in # of miles.

Traffic Reporting
users report traffic even at 2am on an empty street as heavy or even standstill just to get points.
Recommend a change where the user only presses a button that says "report traffic". Then the app over 3 minutes send location and speeds to server and server decides based on reported speed vs posted speed, the heaviness of traffic. At 80% if posted a peed you mark "moderate". At 60% it's "heavy" and at 40%, it's at a "standstill".
29 votesGreat news! The feature where reporting Traffic Jam's severity based on speedometer reading is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Show Stop lights
Make viewing intersections with stop lights and option (show the stop light on the navigation). This is something Apple Maps has and it helps people anticipate turns and make less mistakes.
