Sur autoroute, créer une barre à droite qui indiquera les 2 prochaines aires avec des icones différenciées "aire de service"/"aire de repos"
Bonjour, une fois sur autoroute, on ne sait jamais où est la prochaine "aire de repos" / ou "de service". Alors une fois sur autoroute, il serait utile de conserver une barre à droite de l'écran (comme celle à gauche pour les zones de contrôle ou les ralentissements) qui indiquerait la distance qui nous sépare des 2 prochaines aires avec des icônes différenciées pour distinguer les "aires de service" des "aires de repos"

Navigate through alerts popups
There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.
I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

Hidden/visible police alerts
People report police that are hiding as "visible" because technically they are visible once you are close enough but really the police are doing radar. Maybe instead of "hidden" or "visible" police it could say lights on or lights off. Also when the alert is spoken it just says "police reported ahead." it would be nice if it distinguished which type so you don't have to click the icon to see because that would be distracted driving and unsafe.

Pause playback during audio alerts (for audiobooks)
Currently the Waze sounds turn the volume of whatever is playing the background down, causing me to miss words of audiobooks. Add an option for "Audiobook mode" to pause playback during Waze alerts/navigation voice.

Instead of "turn left in X feet", how about just saying something more like "take the next left"
Instead of focusing directions on distance when approaching a turn, treat the turns more like your roundabout directions. It's more natural to give directions such as: "take the next right" or "go left at the light" rather than "turn in 500 feet" or go right on Main Street (especially if the street sign isn't easiy to see).

Suggestion: Can we get an auto-reroute or a stalled traffic ahead alert?
Couple of years ago I was headed home from a 6 hr trip with a 98 yr old man riding shotgun. I was less than 20 miles from home and ran up on a traffic jam on the interstate that added another 3 hrs to my trip.......an auto-reroute would have helped a lot

The arrows that show the upcoming turn can show a turn quite a distance away. By the time you get to the right turn there are one or two turns ahead. I suggest that when you get to a situation where the right turn is the first one you get to, that the arrows turn from red to green, or flash or some other obvious shape. That way it will be easy to recognize when you really need to take the next first turn. Ron.

Give the option yo mute certain alerts.
I don't need to have an audible alert for every kind of alert. If I travel a long trip knowing a vehicle on shoulder ahead every five minutes is annoying.

Customized AUDIO alerts for Plan a trip notifications
I have a smart phone with multiple applications that I get alerts from and it would be nice to have a customizable audio alert for Waze for when trips are planned. Nothing crazy may be like a “beep beep” to notify the user that based on their alert settings that the plan tripped time is coming up. Have an alert to differentiate that Waze from any other alert from another app. Please, no round file, it’s a good idea. Thx.

Disable Bluetooth usage in app. I use Bluetooth as a care phone, but listen to the radio.
I use the Bluetooth for car phone use, but listen to the radio. Because you can't turn off Bluetooth use in waze, it runs silent because it's trying to alert you by Bluetooth.. a setting for Bluetooth use within the app would be helpful..

Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make ever
Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make everyone aware of this FACT. They also make the roads hazardous by forcing drivers around them unnecessarily, possibly causing accidents and getting away with it. Please add this to your information - police and city councils ignore this fact, yet there are laws and old signs.

Proposer une synthèse des trajets avec et sans péage
Bonjour, en tant qu'utilisateur, j'aimerais que waze me propose le trajet avec et sans péage, en indiquant la distance et l'heure d'arrivée de chacune des solutions. Cela permettrait de faire rapidement un choix éco(logiquement et nomiquement) responsable.

Road hazard alert authorities
Extreme weather conditions cause thousands of multi car accidents each year.resulting in increase in auto insurance. Add ability to not only report weather hazardous conditions, after a certain number are reported within a specificity area, notify appropriate authorities to close roads. Adding the ability to a view real time weather on waze is much needed so we don’t have to switch apps.

advanced alerts
Several states have DMV digital alert signs - it would be great to be able to add those warnings to Waze. Example the DMV sign alerts 'accident on 85 South 5 miles ahead all lanes closed' - If a Wazer could input that info by means other than map chats people usually don't read, or at the wrong mile marker it'd be extremely valuable for people traveling in large cities.
I'd pay money to know that in advance!3 votes -
Wind gusts icon
I'd suggest to add into climatic alerts group an icon to be used to inform Wazers that there a risk due to wind gusts.
I guess there is a significant number of users (such as truck, light commercial, bus and caravan drivers) that may be interested to this potential risk and would appreciate if Wazers would turn on a specific alert.
What do you think about it?

Tap map for more acurate alerts
Sometimes i go to make a report and im ofline, or i was just turning off the highway but could see a coo taking radar ahead of me, so it be nice to be able to touch map then hit alert button for more acurate alerts, but also keep it like it is now where you can just hit alert and it will make the alert where you are, have this as a second option for whatever reason , atleast allow a certain radius so you cant just make alerts up anywhere on the map

Flash directions section of the screen when approaching turn
When approaching a turn flash the directions section of the screen a few times. This allows for users that use waze with the volume down but can still alert them to an approaching turn by getting their attention.
