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.

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).

Police Heat Map
What about a feature that shows popular police trap locations. There are locations in my town that are popular with police to setup speed traps. If those areas could glow blue like traffic areas glow red, I think that could be a great feature. If you could use the information that wazers report, then that info could be processed through an algorithm that show the high probability areas.

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Show Road events information in Map view - Plan Route
In the earlier version of Waze this feature was available. With the new update the feature disappeared:
When choosing the best route out of 3 options Waze shows the list of route and the map. In the Map View not it is missing the traffic information!!!!To be able to choose the best route it is totally necessary to see WHERE exactly along the route you should expect traffic.
The list view shows this info somehow, but it is difficult to guess where exactly the road events are just on a simple line. In the Map View, you can…18 votes -
Miscellaneous Suggestions - Reporting Items Not There and Hazards
I would suggest having the ability to select reports and mark them as not there. For instance, oncoming traffic reports of speed traps or traffic that have since cleared up but not timed out.
Also reporting a road hazard of disabled vehicle on the road. Currently there's vehicle on shoulder and you can report an accident on the road. We should be able to note a disabled vehicle blocking one lane.
Lastly there should be the ability to note in an accident if it's affecting both sides (when EMS responds from both directions and closes lanes), when the road is…

Report speed limit when reporting speed trap ahead
Just a before a speed trap, most drivers have no idea what the speed limit is. Thinking they need to avoid a fine they slow down rapidly causing a mini traffic jam and a lot of danger. If you can report the speed limit, most drivers would maintain speed and traffic will go smoother. This happens mostly in Israel highway 2.

audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Opt out of certain alerts in route
I would like to be able to opt out of certain alerts in route. I have no interest in moderate or heavy traffic. I have a lot of interest in accidents or standstill traffic. Yet all are lumped together and I have to check every "red" dot to see if there is a real traffic problem rather than a minor inconvenience.

Hybrid Zoom Mode
Add a third option to the zoom choices. A hybrid mode that uses the closer of the speed or distance zoom. This would allow for the map to zoom in as you approach your next turn at highway speeds and also zoom into your location in slow traffic to show possible alternate routes, while otherwise staying zoomed out.

Sync Waze with iPhone calendar
Sync Waze with iPhone calendar so I know when to leave for appointment and events according to distance and traffic etc. With an option to have a 10 or 15 minute warning before you have to leave and and option to arrive at your location 10 mins, 5 mins or on time. This would be awesome!!!!
