ZTL
ZTL Eng-Ita
From October the access rules to the ZTL area B of Milan will change (eg Euro 5 diesel no longer enters), periodically similar things also happen in other cities. it would be useful to be able to select at the start-up phase of Waze, in addition to the type of vehicle, also the pollution class so that the navigator can take it into account when calculating the route and, if the vehicle class is not among those authorized, report that can enter the ZTL and avoid fines.

A Couple of ideas
I live in Maryland and would like to make a couple of suggestions. First, Maryland has a new law where you are supposed to pull over for any vehicles now, not just Police, Emergency and Tow trucks. Can you modify the program so it would display which side of the road the vehicle is on so I could possibly move over ahead of time. Secondly, can you add a simple button for vehicle on the left side of the road, on the right side and for a police car.. I don't like going through all of the buttons to…

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may…

You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression"
You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression" which is not quite a pothole but a place where road has sunk significantly and poses a danger to vehicle.

During driving it we see some incidents and need to report it takes several clicks. Would be helpful to drivers if we have some favourites to minimize the touching of screens. Allow the drivers to save their common incidents. Like myself the 5 most commons are
- police
- pot hole
- hazard vehicle on the side
- accident
- constructionI can then easily click one of the 5 while driving

1)Make the top most distance “ turn right/ left “ BIG eg 10M turn ….And earlier inform us … many times overshoot the “turn right / turn left
BIG distance in numbers ….m 1)Make the top most distance “ turn right/ left “ BIG eg 10M turn ).
And give option ( Front size X-Large , Large , medium, small, to X-small)
Wi-Fi too slow… miss the turn…Car too fast.

Use Voice Commands to log Reports with Waze on CarPlay and Android Auto
While Waze allows users to use voice via their phones to log Reports, it does not support Voice to log Reports for users of Car Play and Android Auto. The fact that these users have to use the screen and potentially take their eyes off the road to navigate menus to log a report is quite dangerous. Please help vote this up, as more vehicles are now being equipped with Car Play and Android Auto. Thank you!

Add the local Bus Routes
Instead of only having a driving section you could make it to where we can navigate the local busses in our areas such as in Louisville ** we have the TARC for people who don’t have a car or vehicle.

Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks

CarPlay vertical does not show car on the screen
I have a portrait mode CarPlay screen and when Waze is full screen, my vehicle not on the screen. When I go to the CarPlay dock screen, Waze is the top half of the screen and it works fine.

Delete or minimize the "vehicle on shoulder" notice. It is an extreme interference with the actual use of Waze for navigation!
The notice actually blocs navigation instructions and exit numbers when in operation. The duration of the notice is far too long. A 2 second announcement would be sufficient. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS UNSAFE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR TO STRIKE THE "THANKS" BAR WHEN NO THANKS ARE NEEDED. WHY DOES WAZE NEED A THANK YOU FOR A USELESS SCREEN BLOCKING NOTICE.
Waze is a good APP which has just been made DANGEROUS BY ASKING A DRIVER TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR SAY "THANKS".
Will it take a negligence lawsuit to bring Google to…

Feature Proposal: "I Need help"
Dear Waze Team,
I propose adding a sub-feature to the "Vehicle on Shoulder" report. When a driver is stuck, they could select a "Request Help" toggle and specify their need (e.g., Flat Tire, Jump-start, Coolant/Water, or Out of Fuel).
This will allow fellow drivers to know whether a vehicle requires assistance and if they are in a position to help. This idea offers two benefits:Enhanced mutual aid: It empowers the community to support one another more effectively on the road.
Risk mitigation: It prevents drivers from taking the unnecessary risk of stopping on the shoulder when they lack…

Ability for area managers to add road closures and long-lasting hazards in areas they manage
Instead of having to rely on the high level requirement in certain countries, area managers should be able to add road closures and long-lasting hazard notices on the map in the areas they manage. Currently we have to rely on Country Managers who are already busy and it creates unnecessary work for us having to create map multiple map views and copy paste links every few weeks when we could just do it ourselves. Especially during large constructions, like currently our city is constructing a tramway and roads all around the city are either completely closed or traffic flow is…

Traffic control button
It would be nice to have a button to mark where there are traffic controls, but not by the police. Often there are vehicle control done by the government. Such a warning button to mark in the map would be nice.

while travelling, what we need is real time alerts on our mobile and also on FM radio
I have 2 ideas to improve WAZE
While travelling, the passenger vehicle driver needs alerts on his/her mobile and also on FM radio, This can be made possible by tapping the mobile numbers of the drives when they start travelling. As soon the vehicle engine is started, via blue tooth the driver mobile numbers should get integrated with the passenger vehicle GPS system. This will enable drivers to get automatic alerts w.r.t to traffic jams, accidents etc. The radius of the alerts should be sent to vehicles which are in the radius of 1-2 miles. Km as this will…

Since I drive alone frequently and use Waze almost exclusively, I would love to voice report any hazard, vehicle, or accident
I’d like to say “Waze report debris on right (or left) side of road.” As an example.

Please add Cortana voice directions!!
It would fantastic adding Cortana directions: “I’m detecting a large number of Covenant forces moving towards your position..., take left”

I select avoid freeways and Waze still takes me the quickest. I would like to use the back roads, scenic routes. I’m not in a hurry.
Back roads/scenic routes. Not everyone enjoys driving on the freeway/highway. I do use interstates but often want to use the back roads/scenic routes. Especially if I’m not on a time schedule and or in my classic vehicle.

Important! For safety - Add an option to stay away from unsealed roads
I used Waze when driving back home this weekend, for a 400km journey. There were traffic jams all along the main routes. Waze saved me an hour by routing me around the jams, but.....
I had two little kids in a two wheel drive car and Waze took me through roads better suited for four wheel drive vehicles - unsealed, dirt roads with no cellphone reception. The roads got bad until I was too far in and turning around wasn't even an option because it was too narrow.
This is a matter of safety. Some cars cannot handle unsealed…
