On commute mute turn by turn direction BUT announce incidents (accidents, caps, speed camera. Etc.)
If you drive the same route every day (as many people do ) you will not need to hear the turn by turn direction but do need advance warning of incidents ie: cop ahead, slow down in traffic, speed camera ahead etc. right now the only option is all or nothing in the (Setting-sound- navigate guidance) menu. it would also limit the number of times Waze interrupts on ongoing phone call. Thus making app even. MORE DESIRABLE!

Routing overview
I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.
48 votesPossibilities:
- check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
- check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
- check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’ -
he Washington State Department of Transportation now provides real-time toll rates for the I-405 express toll lanes as a publicly available
The Washington State Department of Transportation now provides real-time toll rates for the I-405 express toll lanes as a publicly available live data stream for software developers. The API is publicly available here: http://wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/api/ , along with several other live data streams including traffic flow, travel times, and highway cameras.
We would love to see this data integrated into the Waze app to help drivers make more informed choices about their route options.
The I-405 express toll lanes let drivers choose a more reliable trip by paying a toll on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Toll…

Alerts when approaching the entrance of a London Low Traffic Neightbourhood restriction, not just a lack of visible route but at actual warn
Alerts when approaching the entrance of a London Low Traffic Neightbourhood restriction; not just a lack of a visible route but at actual warning to prevent drivers from falling foul of a non-physical change to the road layout, only to receive penalty charge notice in the days to come. In case I am so used to using a road that I do not see the new signs they put up telling me I can no longer drive through it.

Commute Mode
I would love to be able to set up a commute with stops. Maybe ask a few questions like:
How many stops do you have on your commute (kid drop off, passenger pick up for carpooling, coffee)?
Does your destination ever change? Be able to have different commute profiles.
Then ask how long you are at each stop normally.
If it is the normal route, then it will only warn you of traffic slows or hazards.
Bonus- If I am running late, set up someone to notify, husband or daycare provider ect.

Which lane should follow before getting to the location where Waze tells your next turn
Waze shows the lane that should be used for the next turn, but do not show which lane you should follow at each cross road or traffic light. I was using the Waze in cities abroad or even in my country and as I didn’t know the town was cumbersome to guess which lane should I take at every cross road / traffic light before getting to the actual position where I should take a turn and Waze was telling me which are the coreect lanes. It would be great in the city that Wase shows you at every traffic…

Plan a drive..
As I drive in traffic every day and this can change my whole day. I need to have an easy access to plan a drive. The most important information is the time to leave.. Not the time that I will get there (I know it; I told you). I need notifications if it change by more than 5-10 min. And I need easy access to this information all the time. The current program tells me 10 min before leaving and do not give me trends on traffic..

Routing server timeout on long drives
Since the app seems to consistently time out looking for long drives, I would recommend allowing more back end resources be used for drives over a certain mileage or time. This might require an upgrade based on the high number of users.
Instead of having just one option, I would like to be able to choose between options since there are riskier routes for adding traffic.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue since I can have perfect service on an iPhone 6S and consistently have your servers time out.

Trafic Bar
When you are in traffic (when the road is orange or red), have a small info popup that let you know how many miles of trafic is still ahead. This way, you would give you an idea of how long you will be stuck that and it will enable you to take a better decision if you change road or stay in traffic.

Mandorections "This is the way"- A Star Wars theme for Waze!
A feature that takes popular transportation scenario quotes from the Star Wars Franchise that voices over the "starting route to" phrase. This add on is relevant due to the huge fan support of the new Disney Mandalorian show. This would engage users and would be a fun, nostalgic way to get to your destination.

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"

Automatic speed adjustment
I made a patent for an interface between the waze and the vehicle in order to adjust the speed according to the speed limit on public roads , thus enabling a more secure , peaceful direction and within the traffic rules , minimizing risk of fines for speeding, car accidents and contribute to a better fluidity of the road . This device can be enabled or disabled at the discretion of the driver or the possible and future traffic laws.

Danger level routes
Hi there,
I love Waze and use it everywhere in the world, mainly Africa and South America where traffic can be hectic... But also dangerous.
I would love to have the option in Waze to chose a route depending on how dangerous the area to cross is.9 votes -
avoid congestion
It would help if Waze offered alternative routes that while took a few minutes longer, avoided heavy hectic traffic and congestion. I would gladly spend a few more minutes in smooth cruising than dealing with thick hectic combative traffic. Waze now seems to only offer the most congested route.

Have Waze automatically detect your speed on major roads
I drive the same busy highway every morning (I-64) here in the Hampton Roads of Virginia. A major section of it is under construction. Instead of passengers and/or drivers taking their eyes off the road to manually enter moderate/heavy/standstill traffic, it would be nice for Waze to automatically detect it and publish it to the map since there are enough people using Waze in this area. I'm sure an algorithm can be written that can detect Wazers within a 1-5 mile radius that are traveling at a particular speed and be able to automatically display the 'traffic speed'…

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Interface - needs to revert to 3.x
The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…6 votes
