Add option to stop scanning of reports when not moving.
Please add a possibility to stop scanning of reports when not moving. It can be annoying sometimes. I just want to observe surround streets while standing. And it also consumes additional traffic. Thank you.

Implement a next/previous button in the notifications
When I stop a traffic light I read some notifications, but sometimes I haven't finished to read an important one and it changes to the next. So it will be usefull if I can navigate through this messages.

Offer the choice of motorcycle as the vehicle, because in the city we are faster than car.
The bike is faster than car in urban traffic. We disrupt statistics and info-traffic
2 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.

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).

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.

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.

Traffic notifications while using CarPlay
In CarPlay when a notification comes up you're forced to react to it with a gesture input to clear it or until another notification comes up. This is frustrating as unless you clear the notification it will permanently prevent viewing other trip information. You can be WELL past the location of the notification and it still remains up unless you physically clear it. Surly it should automatically clear itself once the notification is no longer relevant without a drivers input.

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.

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.

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 :(

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?).

Fixbug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path
Fix the bug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path actually being followed (ie current location)

“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Safe drive Motivators
Alongside with the pop-up commercials that appear once I stop on traffic light or something, you can occasionally add some "Safe Drive" motivators, like: "Slow down, somebody waits you back home". You know, to make people think for a sec about how they act on the road.

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

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.
