suggest removing hazard on side of road as this has no impact on traffic but people slow down because this is reported
hazards on road is good to report but if it is to the side of road, I see not point in this helping and in fact people will slow down for any hazard so this actually slows down traffic

Incorporate BMW/MINI Connected into Waze.
I'm not suggesting that the map show on the screen, just the ability to report events and respond to questions such as traffic slowdowns. Ok, and maybe start nav...
Much safer than having to look down at the phone.

Length of delay before setting off
It would be useful to have the length of delays displayed before setting off.
Currently Waze gives you an ETA and time to destination - e.g. 1:30hrs but doesn't indicate whether this is 1:30hrs of free flowing traffic (optimised route) or whether it is going to take 1:30hrs because you are going to be sat in 20mins of traffic. It could display next to the ETA the time you are going to be in delay e.g. ETA 1:30hrs +20mins delay (maybe in red?).

Plot recently driven roads
It would be great to have an option to mark roads recently driven by other wazers. This would increase the confidence that it's clear from traps, traffic jams etc.

Repetitive Alerts Should be Summarized
Recently, I was using Waze on Northbound I-280 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The traffic was pretty bad. Waze is pretty popular around here and folks were reporting the bad traffic. So much so in fact that you could barely see the map. It seems to me that if you have more than two or three people basically reporting the same thing (in this case stopped traffic) you can simply summarize and say "multiple bad traffic reports" or some such. The current extremely cluttered screen is basically useless.
In this case, I was using an iPhone, but…

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

Audio alerts without voice guidance
For routine drives (to and from work), I don't want voice guidance, but I would still like to get audio alerts for traffic issues, etc. There should be an option to enable voice alerts without voice guidance.

have an alert when waze is directing you into a high crime area
have an audible alert or color code when waze is directing you into a high crime area. Often locals avoid those areas and they will therefore have less traffic. But not always a good idea to go into those areas especially at night.

Navigation modes for familiar routes
During my long daily commute I listen to audiobooks and I have to turn off the Waze auto navigation (I'm just monitoring traffic & reporting police). If there is heavy traffic or an accident, I then have turn the navigation back on. It would be nice if the familiar routes were recognized and navigation only appeared if there is an event ahead. I don't need navigation for familiar routes unless there is an event that will delay my trip, which I think should be the idea behind learning familiar routes.

UK:LON - When driving at night waze should have a feature to avoid side road as traffic levels tend to be low. Therefore, when waze is suggesting side roads at night the journey time tends to longer plus London side roads have too many speed pumbs, which is not good for a driver’s back.

Please add an immigration and customs enforcement Checkpoint
Could you please add an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Checkpoint item into a future version of waze? These are not police items, but can slow traffic down, so knowing in advance where they are would be COOL!

Something is wrong recently. Waze giving bad routes and lead me right into a 45 min traffic jam!
In the past few months, I have noticed considerable deterioration of the service. I have been using Google more often because it has been giving me better routes. I love Waze and went back to it this morning. Lead me right into a 45 min traffic jam and never even notified me. Didn't catch it at all. And it stopped giving all route options. So sad :(

"no right on red" avoidance -- avoiding choke points and "queue across intersection"
"No right on red" avoidance (mentioned in "choke buster") would avoid a route that includes arriving at a major road where traffic tends queue across the intersection during peak hours.
Waze could also detect and actively avoid or reroute detours around intersections where other fleet movement would indicate the intersection is not clearing traffic during each traffic light cycle.
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Create a "dangerous spot" alert
I live in São Paulo - Brazil, and unfortunately we have a serious problem with violence in traffic.
Just a few days ago I was a victim of an armed robbery in a very know avenue, and we have a lot of spots that this kind of action is frequent.
So, my suggestion is that drivers can allert and input information like this so waze can identify this spots and maybe even suggest a detour depending on time day (since this actions are much more frequent at late hours).
These kind of data would also be very helpsful to…78 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Enable the Difficult Turn setting to be time/day specific
Today we have the ability to mark a turn as difficult, but we don't have a way to say it is only difficult during certain times of the day like during commute hours, or even to be only weekdays when there is commute traffic.
The current UI could easily be updated to move the difficult turn box to the end of each row for the restriction. That way if an editor sets up a time for a restriction, it now becomes an option to be 100% restricted, or just difficult.
The editor could then set up a left turn…
