when wazers are regularly exceeding the speed limit on non-highways, waze should stop sending people on that route.
If Wazers are exceeding residential speed limits, it creates a hazard for everyone in that area. Waze should collect data about the amount of drivers who are exceeding speed limits and then restrict usage of those roads because it is a public safety issue.
Drivers may be going through areas where there are children, joggers, bicyclists, and others who are now at risk because people are exceeding the speed limit while looking down at their phones to get the next GPS instruction.

Audible warning needed for dangerous intersection
I live in the small town of Paris. Tennessee. We have an unusual intersection that travelers to the area are not used to. It's a T section (Hwy 79) at which drivers must make a left or right turn. Lately several drivers have attempted to drive straight through. They have hit the brick wall that is there. The property there is elevated. It belongs to a restaurant. The owners have repaired and repainted the wall a few times, but it continues to get hit causing severe injuries and vehicle damage. My suggestion is that an audible warning be put…

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:

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…

Informações sobre nome e telefone da concessionária responsável pelo socorro na via, além das coordenadas para localização do socorro.
Sugiro um botão com informações tipo: essa área é atendida pela AUTOPISTA X, TELEFONE XXXX, sua localização é (coordenadas). Botão para localização e socorro em estradas, com possibilidade de envio de SMS (para locais onde a internet é ruim) com mapa de como chegar ao local. Muitas pessoas pegam a estrada à noite, com pouco movimento, e essa ferramenta seria muito importante.

Use iphone screen as a touchscreen
Some cars' infotainment system has a non-touchscreen; consequently, it is hard to manipulate the map by zooming in &out or looking around the map. It is possible to make the iPhone as a remote by adding a touch area which can control the map like moving or zooming in. One navigation app “高德地图” has such function already. It is really convenient for driver to see the map!

Option to see historical police presence/speed traps.
Option to see historical police presence/speed traps. If the area is frequented with reports then label it as a historical hot spot. This way we can drive cautiously in those locations.

Map Ideas
I enjoy Waze and have saved time on commutes that could other wise be hectic, living in and traveling around the Chicago area. However what I would like to see 1-how to eliminate Waze's directing me through Allies, not safe especially in some of the chicago area I hit, 2-Wazes letting me know my destination is coming up on the left or right instead of you arrived, being in a major city "you arrived" could be a huge challenge.

Add EzPass 3+ Category
Exland the EzPass categories to add EzPass 3+ HOV. This is a large issue in the DC/MD/VA area and can cause large fines if the deiver just has a standard EzPass.

User option to define the value you want the speed exceeded alert to be given!
I know that by default it is 30Km/h but in many situations 30 is a very "large" range when going from 120 to 100 in a controlled zone P.E. on the A29
This value should be a user-defined option!
The warning must be given a few meters before entering the area at a new speed
(The precedence can also be a value to be defined by the user)2 votes -
Add a "Litter" icon so drivers can help indicate where clean up needs to happen.
Adding a "Litter" icon to Waze will allow Local, State and Federal ecology agencies the ability to more quickly clean up problem areas as well as provide data to increase funding for litter control.

Navigation Option: No notifications for a specified radius from home (Do I need turn directions to get out of my neighborhood?)
Allow a user defined radius where turn by turn instructions are not announce for areas familiar to the driver, i.e. driving out of their neighborhood or the route to the interstate. Allow warnings and alerts to be announced so driver may decide to reroute.

toll tag intelligence
It would be huge if client could know if I have a toll tag and where toll tag only roads exist. Routing me over a toll tag only road (must have a toll tag to traverse) is not helpful. It would be great if Waze stored which toll tags I have and ask if it should route me over a toll tag only road when I'm in another area.
2 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.

Waze on Adriod Auto
Been using Waze for some time on Andriod Auto and find one area that needs help. When trying to alert other Wazers of hazards or other items, I find them buried way down in some menus when trying to find a road hazard for example. Maybe find a way to put the popular ones, like road construction and others as hot buttons when you choose the orange circle to pull it up. Or even better allow the user to put 6 of the most used notices as soon as you touch it. This way you don't have to grind down…

Get a parking space from another wazer
In metropolitan areas or popular parking spaces can be useful having a slot from a leaving wazer. The mechanism could be similar to that of the pick-up feature, maybe with credits to "buy" or "sell" a parking slot.

Subdue/Mute background sounds or not mute
Add the new check box in the voice settings area (to choose by the user)– Subdue/Mute background sounds (mutes background sounds while playing a message). It refers to the Android auto. If you turn off this parameter the background sounds (radio, spotify, vlc, etc.) shouldn’t be mute during the messages playing, what is a very desirable option in general. Something similar like in the case of Yanosik navigation program.

View map on mobile to select point on map, law enforcement
Similar to Google Maps interface, in which I can pin a point on the mobile app and start navigation on Android Auto. I frequently use Waze to safely navigate to reported accidents, debris and disabled vehicles. Waze reports are significantly more location-accurate than my dispatcher saying "Respond to the area of Exit 45 for a crash." Before the last update, I could force stop Waze on my phone, reopen the app to the map, pin a location next to the incident and start navigation, then reopen the app on Android Auto to navigate. With the latest update, I can no…

Hope you like it!
