enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would lead…

Screen out individual bad contributors
A driver in my area is driving against one-way traffic and do not enter signs and adding inappropriate contributions to the Waze map.
Waze needs a way to mark this inappropriate input.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

No pop ups
I would greatly appreciate pop ups at the END of my trip, not During my trip. Twice tonight during my trip home, pop ups blocked my directions. AT NIGHT. I had to pull over once to re-enter my information as the verbal directions weren't happening either. This is a new problem that started yesterday, thankfully I wasn't on a trip in an unfamiliar area. Frustrating and scary

Adapt to my route/Back blocks
So when I put direction in and I do not take the route Waze is providing (sometimes route is longer because they take main roads/streets) I would like for Waze to ask me should they keep this route for next time I go to same destinations. When we live in an area or are familiar with an area then we typically know what some refer to as “back blocks” or small blocks that cut away from traffic/road closures and/or saves time! Thank you for listening!

Just thought a 'history' button would be helpful on the web site live map. If you could go back in time a few hours or days...
History button on Live map on webpage and maybe even in the app eventually. Also, maybe "ghost" on maps where frequent events happen. Say a police trap that happens a lot in a general area.

Sharable lists for locations
Would like a feature similar to Google maps where I can input work sites and then share with the rest of the team. We all use Waze for getting to sites however this feature would be so useful.
Can also use it for restaurants to try out with friends, plan visits abroad and many other users1 vote -
different colour for added stop
Firstly I want to say how much I love this app but one thing that I wish I could change it the colour of the route when I have added a stop. I often use this feature (when I am picking my wife up from work on the way home from my work).
As this journey covers a small area I find it hard to tell which part of the route is my primary route and which part is the route I will be using once I pick my wife up.
A simple different colour would be great. As I…

Ability to filter out potholes and construction on my daily drive to work and back.
I know the area is under construction. I know every perpetual pothole to dodge. I don't need 14 pop ups telling every day. Let me filter these out on my daily drive. The concept is great in areas I don't frequent or areas I don't know like the back of my hand.

Want to be able to put in more cop info and a comment!
I want to be able to post there’s a cop what kind of car it is I want to be able to put in what type of car it is (motorcycle, truck, undercover, suv, car) and whether it’s a hidden police car. I want the ability to put in more info on my own on a comment so I can say it’s a hidden cop car that always hides by the school. Ect. Or a motorcycle bike that always hides behind a fence by the street. The police in our area tend to hide pretty well would be helpful for…

Allow Social Network Reporting of Speedlimits to improve accuracy of speedlimit database
If you allow the user base to report speed limits it would be more accurate than having a static database of speed limits. Also there should be an option for "Variable Speed Limit" for places where the speed limit changes depending on traffic (for example, I-90 and I-5 in Seattle, WA have variable speed limits that range from 30 to 60 mph). There should also be a temporary construction speed limit option in areas where there is construction--you can pop up a verification screen so users to confirm whether the construction speed limit still applies once or twice each…

Past Reports of Mobile Speed Cameras Alert
With the recent addition of giving an alert to the user when a certain area has a "History of Accidents". Something similar should be done with mobile speed cameras where an alert comes up stating that the certain area that the user has entered has had previous reports of mobile speed cameras vans. I dont just mean being able to report Mobile Speed Cameras, as that already exists. I'm talking about an alert popping up as there has been numerous reports, can be from the day before to a month before.

New Tolling on I66 in Northern Virginia/DC
Hi there. I am sure you are aware of this, but soon here in the DC area, specifically on the I66 roadway, dynamic tolling will begin soon. Google maps does not quite yet have that in the map itself. Given that these tolls will be quite burdensome, alternate routes will be required and therefore an option to "avoid tolls" will be needed for the stretch of road on I66 from the beltway to DC. Thank you .

Distinguish crossroads where major road runs straight through from main roads with a 90 degree bend that have 2 minor roads at perpendicular
I have many roads in my area where 2 secondary roads meet a main road, where the main road bends at 90 degrees. Waze treats this as a 4 cross roads, when it shouldn't. It should identify the through road or priority Road from the adjoining minor roads. Waze instructs me to turn right up ahead but really I'm just following the road, there is no turn as I'm on the main road.

Create a bus/school bus icon
I am a bus driver and use Waze not only in my car but on trips to areas that are not always familiar to me for work. A bus is larger than a car but smaller than a truck. Sometimes routes good for car travel aren't quite wide enough for a bus and you could show us that.

Fix routes from the SF to East Bay
If you're going from the south part of the city to East Bay, Waze will tell you to take 280 North, get off on 6th, and get onto I-80 in the South Beach area (Harrison or Bryant Street), rather than take 101 North to 80 East. However, this route gets backed up often, and Waze doesn't take this into account. My ETA will increase 15-20 minutes while waiting to get onto the freeway. While it's hard to dynamically generate an accurate ETA if an unknown situation pops up (accident, etc.), the traffic is already there, so I think the algorithm…

Report Extended Events
There are construction areas (for example) which stretch some length (a mile or more). It would be great to report these as an extended region, not a single point, since they're usually accompanied by a lower speed limit. They might be activated by an upward gesture of the report button (as opposed to the sideways gesture that the iPhone currently supports for traffic reporting).

Be carefull. This is a High violence risk zone.
Waze must warn about the risk of violence in the map areas. The information exists in police and government, it might be migred to waze map, to show the risk of violence.

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce…
