Ability to report Safety Issues
Add ability to report things such as missing street sign, blocked street sign (tree over growth, etc.) broken traffic signal, poor lighting at night etc. This should be available to the users as well as have the ability to stream the data to public safety agencies to have the issues resolved.

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

Route Tracking Recorder Functionality
Implement a RTR(Route Tracking Recorder) Functionality.
Say you have this path you like to do every now and then. Activate the RTR and drive until your destination, once there, deactivate RTR. Done! Waze has recorded that route you just drove and saved it.
Ok... what now? Well, you can:1) Use it once again;
OR (where it really shines :)
2) share it to a friend, so that person will know that special route you did to save time from traffic.
Had this idea after a colleague had to follow me until certain point of my daily route to…

Need to STOP these massive auto and truck pile ups. There must be a way to warn oncoming traffic of major trouble ahead.
Need to STOP these massive auto and truck pile ups. There must be a way to warn oncoming traffic of major trouble ahead. Sure the first autos or trucks that cause the accident would not be effective but how about the many vehicles that are about to plow into them. 50 vehicles or more in these pileups is ridiculous with today's technology.

Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help
69 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute. -
I need suport on this as I've tried to get Waze to make this adjustment but they keep saying enough people have to agree
It seems crazy to me that you can so easily post a vehicle stopped on the side of the road...not effecting traffic at all...yet there is no option to report a vehicle broken down in the middle of Freeway lanes, causing a monumental traffic jam! There is an option for roadkill!!! Like a squashed squirrel is really going to impact your journey...but nothing for a vehicle. I had this problem happen to me. There was an almighty backup and I had no idea why. There was a vague report about "an Object" in the road, but you think of a…
7 votesGreat news! The feature of reporting a stopped vehicle is now available under Hazard on road in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Important ideas
I’ve been using Waze for several years now and do a lot of miles with it. There are a few things that could be added to make it even better. First, I would love to see Jeremy Clarkson as a Waze voice, that would be hilarious and highly popular. Second, I know that Uber drivers’ satnav can tell them when the traffic lights are about to change. Having this feature on Waze would be great as nothing else would have it. Third, I am also a delivery driver and am forced to use google maps for navigation as Waze does…

Liam Neeson voice over
Simple as that. Imagine driving and your navigation makes you feel like you're diving in an action movie....but undercover so you gotta obey traffic laws. Anyway, Liam Neeson' s voice is a must!

Waze Weather
Waze should have a weather integration where you can see local radar on the map as you drive (able to toggle it on/off). It would allow for real time weather and traffic updates.

Mobile Police Setting
When following, or being followed by a police car, I would like to enable a feature to show my actual GPS location for the next 10 minutes or until I disable. This will warn other drivers that they are approaching a police car and not zoom by me and get a ticket. There are a lot of unmarked police cars that I wind up following because I see the hidden lights or the government place before I pass them. I would like to help people avoid missing them while in traffic.

Automatic Alternative Routes
Give automatic alternative routes. I like Waze but I use Google maps because of the automatic alternative routes choices. Google maps can also calculate a route if I make a wrong turn. I am in my car as part of my job and I need this option for traffic jams, accidents, etc.

Turn notification before you've passed it!
This morning I reviewed my route and when I got to a turn I knew I was supposed to take, no notice. So I paused IN TRAFFIC at the turn and nothing. So I drove a few hundred feet, THEN it told me to turn - way past the street. Don't know why it does this sometimes and not others, but it's really frustrating. I don't want to make the turn in the event I've been rerouted because of traffic, but I don't really need to add time to my commute either.

Rewards for taxi driver traffic status input
Why should taxi drivers be able to rely on other drivers in their surroundings to update them on the fastest route, when they don't contribute back?

Police (Median)
We need a “Police (Median)” alert that warns traffic in both directions on an interstate. Police (hidden) and Police (other side) don't always apply. This alert would warn traffic in both directions of the interstate or divided highway, since most police run front and rear radars simultaneously.

Add the option to see another car live on your waze when you travel with a friend in different cars so in case you lose each others

Team up with Pokemon for rare pokemon locations.
Rare pokemon are hard to find, but they are always in set locations for a small period of time, just like a traffic accident. You could easily piggypack the popularity of Pokemon Go and get a ton of people to use your app for finding and reporting rarer pokemon locations.

Hurricane Evacuation Routes
Example: I-95N slow moving parking lot (meaning stop and go bumper to bumper traffic) so show less congested routes north or state 20mph parking lot. Travel north or inland would be faster by staying off freeways.

Report dangerous area or attemp assault, theft, etc.
The same way we can report the traffic, it would be interesting to get to report if you saw in front of you or you was was assaulted, robbed or threatened. This way other people can avoid the way, the cops can see where there are bad guys acting and so on. If you're nearby your cell also would play a sound like gun fire. :0).
