Hi! Just my 2 cents, whenever I share my drive with someone, my Waze turned light green for the directions I’m supposed to follow.
When I’m sharing my drive to someone please make direction colour & the other roads to be different colour so I can see the directions more clearly. Right now it’s light green for the directions & the other roads are darker green. Difficult to differentiate it.

Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer.
Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer: Green = route traversed by another Wazer no longer than 2 minutes ago; yellow = 2 to 5 minutes; red = no Wazer traffic within the last 5 minutes.

Add an option to always avoid construction/road works
Construction / Road works often come with temporary traffic lights due to lane closures, which are very slow and cause congestion. Waze should have the option to avoid these at all costs.

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.

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.

Change the voice for police or red light camera.
I tend to tune out the monotone voice of the Waze speaker and when there is a police or red might camera I don’t register in my mind that it’s there. Would be nice if I could change specific alerts like that to be a different noise alert like a beep or a different voice.

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.

I suggest an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding traffic lights with a camera and an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding the velox

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.

Option for simple sounds instead of vocal phrases for hazards, police, construction, traffic, etc...
It's great to have so many voice options, but even the best ones can get annoying on long trips. A simple tone for "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" would be nice, as would a quick WOOP-WOOP to indicate "Police Reported Ahead".

Permanent road closures in London
Permanent road closures in London
There have been so many new road closures due to the LTN scheme (low traffic neighbourhoods). There is nowhere on the app that allows you to say that the road has been blocked to traffic in both directions at a particular point and that it is a road closure – usually permanent. Please add permanent road closure as an option.10 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

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?

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).

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.

Configurable Shortcut/Hotkeys on main screen
Would be handy to have the option to add 2 or 3 of your most used functions or additional functions on the homescreen for easy access. For instance, it would be handy to be able to add a button to the homescreen that will automatically highlight petrol stations so you can hit it when you petrol light comes on
