Pedestrian crosswalks as a hazard (For crosswalks with no stop signs)
There are some crosswalks with no stop signs. I believe this would make crosswalks easier to spot when more obvious signals are not present (stop signs, lights, etc)

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.

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).

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 :)

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…

Mute Red Light Camera Alert
Offer an option to turn off or mute the red light camera alert. I don’t speed or go through red lights and the loud alert is distracting. It also wakes up a sleeping child ! I know drivers rely on it but I don’t like it. Offer an option!!!

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!!!!

Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time
Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
Example:
I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.49 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Tell Waze you are pulling a trailer
Would like to tell Waze when I am pulling a trailer. Was going thru San Francisco on my way north. Waze sent me thru some alternate routes to avoid traffic, but the routes were fine for a car but problematic when pulling a trailer. Narrow alleys and straight up hills.

Sound Alert in LOCKED phone
I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
6 votesGreat news! This is now available in Waze for Android OS. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Truck Routes / Bike Routes
Add a commercial truck routes mode for truck drivers on the app, a lot of trailer tractor drivers out there struggling with traffic and fines bc of not knowing which routes are best for them on each new city they go to. PLEASE HAVE THIS IN CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH BIKE ROUTES TOO.

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.

Integrate with cobra iRadar
Cobra has a radar detector that works with android and iphone. They upload/download radar locations for their own community. There may be an opportunity for the two companies to work together, and integrate with each other. Imagine: turn by turn nav, automatic traffic condition updates, user reported feedback of accidents and automatic reports of police radar points all in one cohesive application.

Colour coded routes - showing traffic on route
Google Maps shows green, amber and red, so at a glance, its easy to see if there are issues on the route at any point along it. This is missing from Waze and would be a great addition, as, without it, you never quite know if you are heading towards issues.

Give me an email to send complaints to
I just deleted my waze app because it keeps sending me into accidents that have caused traffic build ups for hours. It completely undermines the entire point of this app. I have no way of letting waze know about these failures, atleast none I could easily find. I'm switching back to google maps

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

New road segment for yields
Currently the routing algorithm assigns a penalty where ever a junction is located in the editor. I believe no penalty should be assigned to a junction with a connecting yield segment, as traffic typically isn't slowed down at these junctions. I believe that creating a new yield road type segment would improve routing accuracy. I've seen many URs that could have been prevented if such a segment already existed. A junction with signal lights should not be treated the same as a junction with a yield.
