Save lives by alerting motorists that critically endangered Red Wolves are living near highways
Red Wolves are critically endangered and living in North Carolina near the Outer Banks. Several Red Wolves have been killed by vehicle strikes as millions of people travel to the beach each year. Sadly, many humans and different wildlife species have also lost their lives in this area because many in the traveling public simply do not know what they are traveling through, which is one of the most fragmented habitats within the East Coast. We need a Red Wolf icon and a tagline alerting motorists to slow down once they enter into Red Wolf country. This will not only…

please make changes to the menu with the directions so that both the transit locality and the following locality appear. the same suggestion for the map. o other suggestions: displaying 3d buildings, a preview with a virtual image when you enter a tunnel and blocking the message "no network / gps signal" (especially useful in one that is divided into two or three others), identifying areas in which is not a GPS signal or is jammed (eg Thessaloniki area)

search result defaults
Suggestion to the editors of Waze, when someone does a search in the city of Atlanta for “ Hartsfield Jackson, International Airport”, the search should take them to the main terminal. However, I discovered that Waze did not take me to the main terminal. It took me to the freight area of the airport and almost caused my passengers to be late.

Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!
But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Road hazard alert authorities
Extreme weather conditions cause thousands of multi car accidents each year.resulting in increase in auto insurance. Add ability to not only report weather hazardous conditions, after a certain number are reported within a specificity area, notify appropriate authorities to close roads. Adding the ability to a view real time weather on waze is much needed so we don’t have to switch apps.

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay)…

Get rid of Google
Cuz Waze juzt plain sucks now. I love it when you give alternate routes and I pick one because I sure as hell know this area better than your AI and I also know what happens when the area has an event. Three times, THREE in 10 minutes I have to pick an alternate route today because your app ignores the route I have picked and sends me right into the area which I am trying to avoid. Your app frequently costs me time, costs me money and complete aggregation over the sheer idiocy of this exact issue. This will…

Childs voice guidance near schools/etc.
https://www.if.se/web/se/om/fakta/slowdowngps/pages/default.aspx
Slowdown GPS works just like a standard satellite navigator in addition to an important point: when driving in areas where there are often children, replacing the usual GPS voice automatically added to a child's voice.

I'd like to suggest that WAZE add a better navigation route for driver of RV's, 18 wheelers and Boxtrucks. So that larger size vehicles as such will be routed to areas that doesn't have low power lines and narrow bridges, etc. Thank you

Always list how many turn lanes
As a truck driver and knowing there is no truck route option coming then at least posting how many lanes turn would be usefull. When I'm in an unfamiliar area I don't always know which lane to go to and as truckers need to turn from furthest lane and if we are in wrong lane it can cause MAJOR DELAYS AND DANGERS

SDK program and Nexar
I was just denied participation in the SDK program for integrating Waze into the NEXAR dash cam app on my iPhone. I'm disgruntled that was the decision, especially without any explanation as to why. I use Waze a lot when traveling, even to work (I live in the DC metro area). I'm currently using the NEXAR app as a dash cam, but sadly can't use it in conjunction with Waze, at least not that I have found online. So, NEXAR has lost a potential dash cam customer as a result. I'm not going to buy a dash cam until…

Add warnings for dangerous road sections
It would be useful to add warnings on maps when entering an area where many previous crashes/deaths have been recorded. This is done on roads in Romania via a special traffic sign (a red triangle with a black circle in it). It would be useful for general traffic safety for waze to give such warnings to make drivers more atentive and to drive slower.

Pointer on incident by default
With the new version, when for example a message appeared of a car stopped it's hardly possible to confirm as the pointer after a second jumps to another area. It should be rellative intuitive that when a message appears the pointer jumps to the incident to select "still there" or "not there" as the pointer jumps away it's not possible and the distraction during driving becomes dangerous.

Wrong location
I´m reporting na error in your maps. The location known as "Lagoa de Santo André" is wrong as it sends people to na área without any roads and its causing several accidents/ cars getting stuck off-road. The correct coordinates for this location are the following: 38° 6'49.95"N 8°47'43.85"W.

Show speed on phone while using carplay
First request: Sorry if in the wrong area.
When using CarPlay the UI on the phone should allow the speed to also be shown. As it currently stands it's only a breakdown of directions and that's it with seemingly zero way to configure what is seen.
Because the CarPlay app notoriously has a poor read of the current speed and often does not show the speed limit like the phone app does (often just shows a speed number but no indication of the speed limit of the area. And will sometimes show how much over an individual is…

weather
Instead of integrate the weather forecast from any channel, I suggest Waze to develop a function to allow wazers to report the current area's weather by clicking a raining icon like we do to report "red light camera", "crush", etc. And a confirmation for others to respond "Still Raining" or "No Rain".
Please consider.
Thank you.5 votes -
pluie
Bonjour,
Je suis un motard et un utilisateur de Waze. Il serait bien lorsque j'entre un trajet de ma position pour m'en aller à un endroit X... et me dire si je vais rencontrer de la pluie durant le trajet et me proposer d'attendre un peu, prendre un café à tel restaurant le temps que ca passe ou bien me proposer un itinéraire passant par Y et Z afin que je reste au sec.
Au plaisir d'utiliser cette feature prochainement.

Turn Signal about 200 feet sooner. 350 Feet Perfect!!
I was using Waze and I was having issues with the turn signal at 150 ft. I was missing turns. I drive for Uber. Please give me another 200 feet like google. 350 feet is perfect I'm not distracted by watching the Waze GPS.
At 350 feet I know it's time to slow down and put my blinker on. Now Waze gives the signal to turn at 150 feet I have to put my blinker on and turn immediately. I've missed a few turns. I feel it is unsafe when driving at Rush Hour or through crowded areas like…6 votes -
Can we get a known speed trap alert
Some areas are just known for speed traps. Maybe some kind of algorithm that logs how many drivers ping certain areas for speed traps for a period of time before its considered a "Known speed trap". This alert can be optional in carplay etc.
