option for automatic bug reporting
When waze displays a message that it has encountered a bug and asks me if I would like to send it the timer is very short and I often cant tap OK in time while driving.
It would be great if there was a setting that allowed the user to select "always send bug/error reports"

Speedcam reporting in Client.
Please add possibillity to set speed limit of road when reporting speed cameras. This will make it 10 times easier to get quality data. Perhaps even when reporting the speed cam, an quick enter speed limit dialogue with the road signs of the country. Something that could be downloaded with the voice files perhaps?

Display photo from user report in popup
In the client, reports can have photos attached, e.g. a photo of the accident or roadworks site can be attached to the report. The photo is displayed on the waze website in the live map.
However, when other phone clients receive the road report, the photo is hidden and hard to display.This is a request to display the photo attached to the report maximized on screen for 5-10 seconds (together with a "report abuse" button) for hands-free operation of the client.

When searching for a location or place, should have the option to view the address instead of
Would be a nice idea to show the address when searching for a location, instead going to the "show on map" each time to view where the location is...very annoying!

Cache user updates when not connected.
When driving through areas with no cell coverage or internet connection, I would like to be able to make updates. Waze should cache any updates I make using the coordinates of where the update was made, and then upload them as soon as I get connected again.

Add a 1 mile event radius
In large cities 5 mile radius events take too long to cycle back to the close events. And 5 miles extremely far away from your driving route.

Report to Multiple Groups
When reporting a traffic jam or something like that, I'd like the possibility of reporting the incident to all the groups I belong to, and not just one of them

Share Scoreboard Info on Facebook
None of the current sharing options for Facebook are appealing to me and the people I know using the client. We would love to share when we hit certain milestones and/or have weekly reports of our Waze Scoreboard progress. This allows us to share Waze with our Facebook friends without revealing our locations (road reports, directions to where we are going). I think sharing these achievements would be the quickest/most effective way to promote Waze on Facebook

Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version
On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

Add option to resize the screen allowing to see all members of a team in special color 4 better view
This option will allow a member of a team to see in a much more easy way, where are the other members of his team.
Another side of this option, could be a live interface on web,... where a member could see the others members of a team.3 votes -
have client generate text file of all unallowed moves while driving to view on computer
I know the system technically does this automatically but I was thinking today as I was going through the cartouche fixing every intersection in my hometown, how it'd be handy if the client generated a text file showing all the things you did that you "shouldn't" have. Almost every intersection in my area has restricted turns that simply don't exist (it's a small town, there's only one turn restriction and no one ways, so i realize this is easier than most) but I was thinking it'd be handy if I could open a txt file generated by the client that says "Turn from First street to Main street not allowed in cartouche". This would then make it much easier to know what intersections need fixed and what ones don't. As I said, I know the client does this automatically, but it also requires repeated input to confirm it's not any number of errors that can occur, but I thought this would be a handy for us that are vigilant map editors.

Alarm notification on new version available, OTA download on BB (optional)
It would be interesting to check when you start the application, if a new version. On Blackberry devices, could have a link to download OTA or AppWorld

AI-Powered "Wake-Up" Alerts at Bottlenecks & Green Lights to Dissolve Traffic Faster
The Problem:
Traffic jams and traffic lights clear up slowly because of human reaction time. When a light turns green or a bottleneck clears, there is a "domino effect" delay as each driver takes a few seconds to notice and move. This significantly reduces the number of cars that manage to pass through during a green light.The Solution:
Waze can detect the exact point where a bottleneck dissolves or when a traffic light turns green based on real-time data from the leading vehicles.Once this "release point" is identified, Waze should send a subtle, prompt audio/visual alert (like a gentle chime or a "Traffic is moving - stay close!" notification) strictly to the drivers at the front of the queue.
The Impact:
Even if only 50% of the drivers respond to this alert and minimize the gap with the vehicle ahead, it will dramatically speed up the traffic release rate. This crowd-sourced coordination will reduce the overall duration of bottlenecks and maximize the number of cars passing through every green light cycle.Proposed Pilot Program:
To test the effectiveness of this feature, Waze could launch a targeted pilot program at a few notorious intersections or well-known bottleneck locations with chronic traffic. By measuring queue lengths and wait times before and after implementing the alerts at these specific locations, Waze can scientifically prove the improvement in traffic flow before a global rollout.The Problem:

Flock
Allow users to add flock and other cameras to the map like speed cameras so police cannot just remove them. It is a serious constitutional rights issue that needs to be resolved.

Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.

"Live animal near the road" hazard
I would like to suggest adding a new hazard reporting option in Waze: "Live animal near the road" (or a similar category).
At the moment, Waze allows users to report roadkill, but there is no dedicated option for reporting a live animal standing or moving near the roadside. I believe this would be a valuable addition for both road safety and wildlife protection.
Many serious accidents happen because drivers suddenly encounter animals that are about to cross the road. If other drivers received an early warning that a live animal had been spotted nearby, they could slow down, become more alert, and be prepared for unexpected movement. This could help prevent collisions, reduce injuries and fatalities involving both people and animals, and improve overall road safety.
Unlike reporting roadkill after a collision has already occurred, reporting a live animal creates an opportunity to prevent accidents before they happen. In many regions, especially rural areas, encounters with deer, moose, wild boar, elk, and other wildlife are common. A simple warning could make a meaningful difference.
I believe this would be a relatively small feature with the potential for a significant positive impact. It aligns perfectly with Waze's mission of helping drivers stay informed about real-time road hazards and making roads safer for everyone.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I hope the team will consider adding this feature in a future update.

התראת רכב כבד בשולי הדרך
חשוב מאוד וודאי ימנע תאונות! ההתראה הידועה על רכב בשולי הכביש מופיעה הרבה פעמים ונהגים התרגלו אליה וכשמדובר ברכב כבד הסכנה לתאונה עולה משמעותית במיוחד גם כשהרכב הכבד תופס את כל השול, אני מציע להוסיף התראה מיוחדת לכך ולסייע מאוד בהפחתת תאונות אולי גם אפשרות של ״רכב כבד״ אחרי לחיצה על ״רכב בשול הדרך״.
