Schedule - Calendar
a good function is that waze is programmed with the phone's calendar that is synchronized with Gmail account so send alerts according to the state of traffic to achieve compliance with arrival times for example if I have an appointment at 3 : 00 pm that waze alert me 10 minutes apart what time I go to achieve compliance with the time, another example, if income from work at 8:00 am and I have programmed in the list of fixtures the application sends an alert to inform what time I need to leave my house to be on time.

Route Alerts
The shortened route alert should have user specified times. I do not care about saving 3 minutes on a 6 hour drive. There should also be a limited number of times Waze asks for this route. My last trip I ended up just letting Waze reroute me onto a toll road costing money because it wouldn't shut up about the 10 minutes I would save on my 3 hour trip.
There should also be a user settable feature where you can select how much you are willing to pay to save money. If an alternate route is faster but a…

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.
Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Put Common Alerts on One Screen for 1 Button Alerts
it takes too long to send an alert. Put the most used alerts on one screen so that we can press one button quickly. Today, it takes at least 3 buttons to send an alert. It takes one's attention and focus on the screen which means you don't have your attention on the road. Not only would this be safer, youi might end up with more alerts being sent because it easier and quicker to inform other Wazers. If you really want to take this idea further, you could allow the user to customize the alert…

Vehicle Information and Maintenance Notifications
I would like to propose adding a feature that allows users to set and manage vehicle information, along with receiving notifications for the following:
1. Car Insurance Expiration: Reminders when the insurance is about to expire, so users can renew it on time. 2. Vehicle Inspection Validity: Notifications before the scheduled inspection date, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. 3. Oil Change and Maintenance: Alerts based on mileage to remind users when it’s time to change the oil or perform other essential maintenance tasks after driving a specified distance.This feature would greatly enhance user convenience and help in…

Création d'une option d'alertes Covoiturage.
Bonjour, créer une option payante pour les usagers passager pour qu'il puisse faire des alertes covoiturage du même style que accident ou autres avec un petit icone du style "un pousse" avec sa destination "Eh je vais a Paris" ,chaque trajet étant payant à hauteur du nombre de kms et reverser au conducteur un pourcentage de cette somme pour la participation de ce trajet.
exemple:
Option: 2€/mois pour le WazerAutostoppeur
trajet : 0.60 ct€ le km
Mr Berber est a Cergy est veut aller a Paris (40km) 24€ le trajet
Mr Berber va donc payer 2€ + 24€ soit…14 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets
Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the…1 vote -
The Green line - (Energy/ Gasoline)
The green line- When a Wazer checks optional routes (and also in the preferences/initial destination route) the most energy efficient route shall be marked as the "Green Line".The Wazer should provide Waze with its car model, design, and year so Waze could calculate the energy consumption.There is a difference between the routes because of distance, time, type of ride etc.At the end of the ride the Wazer will be provided with estimated carbon footprint.From Waze perspective - much more data... and from there you can think about many products and ways to monetize it

A "No good routes found" alert.
Let's you know your drive will be worse than expected, maybe suggest a better time to leave and delay the drive.
For those circumstances when traffic along usual route is much heavier than normal, (for whatever reason). If I know all routes are congested, I may relax and stop trying to out-think Waze and find a better route. Or delay my departure if traffic is forecasted to clear up.

When showing "Routes" options, show "average speed" per option.
When showing "Routes" options, in addition to "time" and "distance", show "average speed" per option. A user may want to choose an option whereby he/she is moving at a greater average speed, even if it means extending the duration of the trip, especially if the added duration is insignificant. For example, a user may prefer to travel 60 km in 1 hour than 40 km in 55 minutes because instead of siting in traffic the user is moving at a greater speed.

Disable Police Alert during government lockdowns
During lockdown periods imposed by the government to control the spread of Covid-19, law enforcement agencies are hard at work manning road blocks to advise all road users to stay home.
The option to SHARE the location of police presence/road blocks during this period makes things harder for the authorities to manage potential Covid-19 carriers as they will find alternative routes to bypass those blocks.
I hope Waze can consider to temporarily disable police location reporting at least during lockdown periods of each respective country. We all need to do our part in curbing this virus.
Thank you.

Vibration-only alerts for passengers
It would be nice to have vibration-only alerts for directions, to be used by a passenger. I am often in the passenger seat and reading out the turns to the driver, but sometimes I get distracted and miss the turn. The sounds are distracting, but it would be helpful if the app would just buzz the phone shortly before the turns.

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road. Another…
