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…

Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.10 votes -
Display Saved Time when Waze changes the route in case of traffic
The idea would be to be able to accept or deny the route change when Waze decides there is a best route than the current one.
In other words, let us accept or not to switch to the new route depending on haow much tilme is saved. For me saving 1 to 5 minutes on a new route is not always necessary.6 votes -

Split the long road into segments
There is only one option so far to see if there is a jam. The whole segment of the road between the junctions is marked as one piece.
It is probably fine with very short roads and many junctions, but when the road is long and there is only a relatively small problem - Waze is misleading.
Besides if I see the last metres before the junction to be red, I understand that there is a traffic light. When the whole street is red - there is a jam.
There are too many long roads which have a problem…

Signal deviation from "normal" work-home route
So I am using Waze mostly for avoiding traffic going to and from work, I suppose like most people. It would be helpful to have a feature where it gives an audible alert if it is plotting a course that is different from the "normal" one to avoid traffic. I imagine this could work by determining the best route assuming no significant traffic, and giving an alert if it is plotting a different course than that. Same thing goes for changes in mid-course due to accidents, jams, etc., that occur after I start. Normal navigation announcements aren't too…

Motorcycle mode
Please consider developing a motorcycle mode, where we could get all the usual Waze features but without being constantly diverted to routes with less traffic. We are not concerned by traffic! We ride between the cars. Especially in Paris, where it takes a quarter of the time it would take with a car, to ride from point A to point B.
Think of the parisians riders, who still want to use Waze for its great features but would like to be able to ignore the traffic alerts.
Merci d'avance !
Gabriel, from France12 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

road alerts popups at red light
Make road alerts more gentle. I mean, a big opaque window eats up half of the screen, and waze scrolls back and forth.
My idea:
* make the popup smaller (just pictograms, smaller fonts)
* make it translucent
* don't scroll, just zoom out a bit, and show the direction if it won't fit on the map (like a cartoon bubble)5 votes -

improve directions for intersection of Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue, Toronto, Ontario
Traffic is not allowed to cross Avenue Road on Glencairn Ave., or to turn left - for both eastbound and westbound traffic. There have been many accidents at this site and signs are posted. Yet Waze sends vehicles across Avenue road in a manner that is contrary to local road laws. There is no light or stop sign at this intersection; traffic on Avenue Road is through traffic and not required to stop. Please stop sending vehicles across Avenue Road when they are traveling on Glencairn Ave. in Toronto, Ontario. The accidents cost all of us time and money.

Speed Light Camera, Temporary Speed Trap, unmanned Police vehicles need ability to add these
With road construction going on around the nation, it's unfortunate that we still do not have the ability to add speed light cameras, or temporary speed traps that are common here in PA through construction zones. There also seems to be an increase in unmanned police vehicles sitting behind the k-rails running speed traps. It would be nice to have the ability to alert others. But also would be better if it was the same interface as it is for the police so save time digging through options looking for the one we want while on the road.

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 -

Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an…

Dear waze, could you send notifications regarding accidents or traffic near you ?
Waze tells us every time there is an accident or traffic and shows us the best route to avoid it. But most of the times its too late and we only get to see this when we turn the apllication on and get in our cars. It would be really helpful if you could add a feature where it warns you beforehand by sending a notification, this way you know before leaving home in the morning or whenever you're going somewhere that you need to leave before your usual time so you're not late. Please consider this. Thank you wazers

sound alert for new route
I use my waze on my daily drive, and occasionally when there is a traffic accident, I get re-routed. The problem is that I don't see the little pop-up that says, there's a better route every time. And I end up missing a faster route and being stuck in traffic. A sound alert to tell me I'm re-routed would really help this problem.
