Warn about slowing traffic ahead
Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.
When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

Darker night mode
The night mode is way too bright and distracting while driving at night. We need the option for a black background rather than light grey. Google Maps night mode is excellent for this, follow that example!

Add routes that *avoid* red light and speed cameras similar to routes that avoid tolls.
Similar to routes that avoid tolls there should be routes that avoid speed cameras and red light cameras.

School bus partnerships
As a parent, and as many otther parents share the same concern, we want to know where our kids are when on a school bus. There are times when buses run an hour late and we have no idea where our kid is. If Waze partnered with bus companies, notifications could be pushed to Waze users who are connected with their children's bus to alert them.

2 Ideas!
Hi, ive got two ideas: 1. When starting a new ride from a parking car, Waze does not know which direction the vehicle is facing. And because of Murphy's rules, most of the time it will plan the opposite route :) My suggestion is: before starting navigation I will have the option to calibarate the direction my vehicle facing (button that using the internal compass) . and now that Waze can understand that im facing east for example it can plan the right route. 2. adding an option so Waze know im driving a motorcycle so it can plane the route without considering traffic like a car. u r great, Thanks!

34 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.
As for the idea with adjusting car facing direction, it is under consideration.

Sir David Attenborough's voice
I find Sir David Attenborough's voice on the TV very calming. It's like being read a fairy tale to. I would love to hear him in my Waze. No more road rage

Add James Earl Jones as a voice navigation option.
I think adding James Earl Jones as a voice navigation option would be fun!

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their pictures or updates never get published.

Add motorcycle icons for sports bike and cruise
There is an icon for motorcycle that looks like a scooter. It would be cool to add different ones for sport bike and cruiser just like there are icons for various car types.

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it and also see if his / her car has already passed you...
Funny and interesting function, isn't it?!
I hope you'll like this suggestion / enhancement and vote for it!

USA: "At / after the light" instead of "At / after the traffic light"
Following discussions between staff and USA champs, this is our formal request that the voice instruction decoration for traffic lights in the USA be changed to "At the light" or "After the light".

Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel safer reporting a local closure after I get to my destination. )

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.
