Advertise the Waze app on billboards in high traffic areas
I think if Waze advertised the App in particularly high traffic areas, Waze could ultimately get tons of new users and the ability to ease traffic. For example, I live in Williamsburg, Virginia and travel I-64 daily to get to work in Hampton. It's about 33 miles one way. Currently, I-64 is under construction to widen it. During the summer time frame, there are approximately, 20,000 more drivers on this busy section a day that are headed to Virginia Beach and/or the Outer Banks of North Carolina for vacation. You can imagine what happens in the stop and go traffic…

“Later”
Please reinstall the “Later” feature to the app. It makes it easier to report traffic issues while driving. For example to report a stalled vehicle on the side of the road it’s easier to save it for “Later” just in case you come up on it quickly or from around a curve. This feature allowed a quick response to report accurately.

Burn it down and start over
Maybe be able to exit current navigation without having to unplug phone from car? Can’t exit from vehicle screen or app. It just keeps talking and giving directions you no longer need and have no ability to input new without closing app, unplugging and starting over. Unsafe and laughable.
Add waypoints?
Satellite imagery?
Can’t believe my friend actually likes this app.

Inserting as spindle and ditch locations, which has a reduction purpose
Consider the possibility of inserting spindle and ditch locations, which has a reduction purpose of the vehicle speeds, however, due to the lack of proper signaling or recklessness of some drivers braking just above the spine, they increase The risk of accidents, with a possibility for users contributes, such as making information on accidents, holes, works, etc., a possible driving very very safe!

New Report Conditions that are South Africa specific
With load shedding the robots (traffic lights) are turned off. This can be a huge hazard at night because you might run through an intersection without realising it. The option to report robots being out (power off, lights out etc) would be a great addition.
Another common issue is beggers who stand in the middle of the road. Once again, in the dark they can be very hard to see.
Another suggest might be taxi stops. In South Africa mini Taxi Busses tend to stop where ever they like. This can at times create an official bus stops. The ability…

Waze needs a "Tesla Public Supercharger" charge network category
The tesla DC fast charge / "Supercharger" network is split between chargers that are only for Tesla vehicles and Public chargers that allow any EV to charge. Waze needs a new charge network category of "Tesla Public Supercharger" so people with a non-tesla EV who want to use the Tesla network aren't routed to a Tesla only charger.

Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay
Often what we find is that most people are reporting the same thing over and over. For example vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead or police. Having a couple of customizable icon areas on screen would not only streamline this experience but add to the overall safety.
Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay / Android auto.

Alert for BMW drivers
Dear Waze Development Team,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to propose a feature enhancement that could potentially improve the user experience and safety measures within your esteemed navigation application.
As an avid user of Waze, I have noticed an opportunity for a unique feature that could contribute to the overall safety and awareness of all drivers on the road. I am suggesting the addition of a feature that provides alerts to users when they are approaching or are in close proximity to a BMW vehicle.
The motivation behind this…

App Learns About the User
The app decides on the best route depending on the way the user drives (maybe even adding the "which vehicle" the user is driving option) for example: some drivers are less prone to enter a busy street, some drivers are slower to take many right angle turns so in their case a more straight route is faster for them.

Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

Suggestion for Integrating Radar Helicopter Information into Waze
Hi,
I would like to suggest a new feature for the Waze app, considering a recent legislative change in Romania. According to the new law, vehicle speed can now be measured from helicopters, and drivers can receive fines or have their licenses suspended as a result.
It would be extremely useful if Waze could integrate information about radar helicopters into the app, using the API from Flightradar24. This way, drivers could be notified in real-time about the presence of radar helicopters, enhancing road safety and helping to avoid unexpected fines.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

I am seeing wrong reports
I am seeing Waze users reporting police as if it’s police trap. But when in fact it’s a police officer already pulled someone over for speeding or to help out. A early suggestion was to put down emergency vehicle on road. So the police trap report won’t be missed labeled and the users won’t disregard the report

Use my device's GPS accuracy to determine route stickyness
I often find myself "stuck" to parallel roads because Waze routed me that way and I "must" be following the route--even though my GPS places me over 20m (65ft) away!
When I go to Taco Bell on my way to work, it's so I can go through the drive thru, NOT so I can roll past the front door as Waze would have me do. But the 15m (50ft) out of the parking lot is "close enough" to assume that I'm following the route.
This also happens when I'm trying to train Waze to take a longer route out of…1 vote -
Report markers should be marked when the user presses the report button, not the send button.
Whenever I drive on windy freeways, or freeways with frequent blind spots, I don't see reportable items (police, vehicles on shoulder, etc) until the moment I pass them. Given the typical delay of entering the data into Waze, the markers end up being 500 to 1000 plus feet away from the actual item being reported.

Security camera voice alert irrespective of type of camera ahead
The app should notify irrespective of being within the limit because the speed reflecting on the app is 3km lesser than the real at all the given times.
Also, the app doesn't even make a distinctive alert sound when there's a camera ahead.I request you to please integrate the verbal notification for a security camera irrespective of the type of camera installed and irrespective of whether the vehicle is under the speed limit coz at a lot of times due to many reasons like conversing while driving, thinking, managing kids etc. and it skips out of the mind.

Add Alert for Roadside Assistance Vehicles (Australia)
I’d like to suggest adding a specific alert or hazard option for stationary roadside assistance vehicles in Australia (e.g. RAA, tow trucks). A new rule in South Australia—and soon other states—requires drivers to slow down to 25 km/h when passing these vehicles displaying flashing amber lights.
Including a reportable category or automatic alert would help increase compliance, improve safety for roadside workers, and align with local road laws.

Adding Social Distancing reminder notification
During this pandemic, I think it would be a really good move for Waze to add some sort of notification reminding users of the social distance recommendations such as wearing a mask, standing 6ft apart, and washing hands. I imagine this would look similar to the notification that pops up when the app is being used while the vehicle is in motion, reminding the driver about safe driving, except this notification should pop up right after the driver presses go. As Waze is used by many, I think this is a great way to take action and do your part…
