    I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.

    In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.

    Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher…

  3. Turn traffic, ability to report and to use in navigation

    There must be an option to report traffic for a specific turn. The reason is that a given road may be moving well through an intersection, but specifically a left turn lane onto an intersecting road can be jammed. In such a case the navigator won't use that road to turn left and find another route.

    As an example. Let's say I am driving on Main St and there are 3 intersecting roads coming up, Street 1, Street 2, and Street 3. My destination is at Street 2, where I need to turn left from Main St. Waze doesn't know…

  4. making sure Waze know what driver you are

    the past few months I've been getting tickets because i was driving in a bus lane. i never knew how i would end up in this situation. until i called up to pay a 500NIS ticket and the lady suggested i check my Waze setting to see what my car is registered under. unfortunately when i check it was registered as a taxi. i now know why i got all those tickets. i don't even remember it asking if i was a taxi, i have never been a taxi driver. all im asking from Waze ks to make a…

  5. Option to relax on route correction messages.

    If I've missed a turn, I tend to know it. If I'm unable to get to the lane required to turn around, the last thing I need is for the system to constantly spam me to make U-Turns, especially in locations where they're not permitted. Instead of suggesting U-Turns at every driveway, try to create a loop to turn around. U-Turns are inherently dangerous and spamming messages every few seconds only causes me aggravation as a driver.

  6. TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads

    Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.

    Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!

    For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

  7. Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone

    In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.

    Add HOV matching!

  9. Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works

    I would like to suggest adding functionality to Waze that supports temporary speed limits on road segments affected by road works. This would work similarly to the current "Closures" feature in the Waze Map Editor (WME).

    Reason for Request:
    This summer, we have received numerous reports from drivers through the mobile app, indicating incorrect speed limits displayed on roads under construction. Currently, setting temporary speed limits and later restoring the original limits after the road works are completed is a time-consuming, double effort for us.

    A "Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works" feature would not only streamline the…

  10. HOV depending on people in car

    As you plan a trip, if there are HOV lanes, the app should ask how many people are in the car so that you can be directed to HOV lanes if you pass the requirements for those lanes. Thx :)

  12. New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa

    BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.

    It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.

    Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.

    “It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody…

  14. User preferences for level of detail in turn instructions

    I keep my audio set to "Alerts only" and am familiar with my metro area's turns and continuations and, when I preview my route's turns, I like for the list of instructions to be as concise as possible. I like that "View Only" instructions don't show up in that route preview.

    But, for a turn instruction to be spoken, it must also be included in that list of instructions. This makes it more difficult for me to distinguish the key turns on my route; it may also be an unnecessary level of detail for other drivers who are already familiar…

  16. road temporary closed

    Please add the option to report road closures due to events or street markets, including the dates and times of the closure. It should be possible to do this either before or after navigation—before departure or after arrival.

    Sometimes there are street markets or events, and advance signage is placed on the road stating that 'from/until this street will be closed to traffic.'

    If this information could be entered, Waze would avoid including that street in the proposed route.

    For example: I live near the stadium, and I know that on Saturdays when Torino plays, Via Filadelfia is…

  17. "global entry"

    Add Global Entry as an HOV option.

    Global Entry is the US Trusted Traveler program that allows the traveler to cross the border under expedited scheme. NEXUS program currently available as an HOV option allows the user to travel through special lanes available on US/Canada border.

    These lanes while traveling from Canada to the US also allows the holder of the Global Entry to enter the US through NEXUS lanes.

    Similar is available for SENTRI lanes from Mexico to US.

  18. toll booth alert off switch

    Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert

    99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.

  19. Alerts duration depending of the user's ranking and edition of the alerts

    Hello everyone,

    Small request for improvement of the program:

    I think Waze should think to keep the alerts longer depending the ranking of the user (?).

    A lot of rookie wazers (I think) use the program without "liking" the alerts so they desappear too quickly and are not usefull anymore...

    For roadworks for example, it would be a good idea to have the possibility to set the duration in the mobile app ! Maybe not directly when driving but to let the program ask for a feedback about the works teached before the closure of the app or via an…

  20. Waze 3000

    The Waze application requires immediate updates to resolve navigation and interface failures. The current design uses cartoonish language. This style reduces the professional utility of your tool. You must adopt a more mature visual language.

    ​Voice search fails to provide effective results. This malfunction creates safety risks for drivers.

    The map view locks during Android Auto use. You should allow users to move or adjust the map on the vehicle screen without touchscreen feature.

    ​The interface largelly displays recent routes immediately. This clutter slows down the navigation process and hinders the user's privacy.

    Preferred gas stations and fuel grades disappear…
