Automaticly generated "Many accidents happened here" icon
Saving the "Acceident alert" history can be used to generate "This crossing had many acceidents - be carefull" icon. It can be just a "yellow/orange/red/purple" dot or /!\ sign on the map near the road.
I recomand that no more then 10 such icons will be shown on the map at the same time, and only along the path used.It is based on existing data, and no editing is needed.

Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras
My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from…

Speed limits ahead
How about an Info of speed limits ahead on cirrent road.
Why?
If you travel over Land, you are usually allowed to do 100kmh. At intersections, small villages etc. the speed Limit is usually reduced to 70kmh. If there could be some kind of Information with a speed Limit ahead, about 300 to 500m ahead you could just take you foot of the Gas an let the car roll to safe energy. I Do it regularly on known Routers, if traffic allows it (no one behind me how might be annoyed). With this Methode I m able to have 1…12 votes -
One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

improve Speeding Alerts
Could the speed indicator be improved in this way: Right now, the speeding icon stays white up to the speed limit, then as soon as 1 mph over, it goes red. I have my alert threshold set to 10% over the speed limit. I would prefer if the speeding icon does not go red until that 10% overage is exceeded. Otherwise the icon would be red most of the time, as most people drive a few mph over the speed limit. And having it red most of the time defeats the warning. It only needs to go red when speeding…

Improving on route and more functions.
I been using waze daily for work as uber driver. There is time can be annoying when waze divert me to another route which is less traffic and mileage is far than origin route. This may cause additional cost on the fare and some riders may not feel comfortable if any route change. My suggestion to waze is have a option for waze as below:-
1) Option to ignore traffic jams so we can maintain current route without any diversion to other route. Let waze user to choose to stuck in traffic or find alternative route. :)
2) Option to…

Event alerts-"On Route" as a default
I am tired of seeing like 22 event alerts (cops, traffic, etc.) while driving my inputed route. when I hit the red exclamation mark it takes me to them and then I can select "On Route" to find out which one's only apply to the way I'm going...why not make the "On Route" button the default instead of "Around Me"???

Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination
Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.
Context:
I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.
I am convinced this…

Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

Miss the road alerts!
The road alerts are no longer showing what they are it just shares a grouped number - “6 road alerts” ahead. In the past you could review exactly what each alert / hazard was. Please bring it back it was extremely helpful in planning my drive and looking for alternative routes. Thanks!
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Weather for Jeeps and Convertibles
I'd like to be able to set preferences for what weather I'd like the top down on my jeep for. If my entire route will experience that weather, with little or no chance for rain, Waze should send an alert suggesting that I "ride to work with the top down"

Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node
Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node, not a each segment aproaching the "Complex intersection"
This would make the app less cluttered, as only one alert will be needed instead of several, as of now, one alert for every segment approching the interserction.

Updated alternate route feature.
My account has been selected to use the updated alternate route feature.
Based on my experience, the UX/UI of the previous version is much better than the latest, I can easily compare the 3 routes on 1 page, but the updated alternative routes features require scrolling to do the comparison, I will need to remember the routes, total distance, arrival time before scrolling to the 2nd and 3rd route options for comparison and this defeat the purpose of the update?
Sorry to say that I don't see the benefit of this updated alternate route option.

WAZE as my vehicle advisor
I would like a feature to upload my car (type, make, year, model, etc.) and so could collect my daily mileage. Then WAZE (after xx miles) could alert me about changing my brakes, renew tires, oil, etc. as well presenting me promotions from near/path services that we all forget at the right time.
As well recommending new cars offers (same or alternative make) or insurances, accesories, detailing, etc.
A whole automotive world is there, and WAZE can be the best interface to interact with it.
You know my displacement, now you must know my car.18 votes -
council fines
Have an alert for Council Officers handing out fines (in addition to the current Police ones).
In Brisbane, Australia, Council Officers stand out on the road corners handing out tickets for people stopping (picking people up / dropping people off). It would be AMAZING to have an alert for this!

Import live Ka and Laser alerts from Escort Live and Valentine One
While Waze is doing a spectacular job at keeping the users informed of the surrounding through alerts reported by fellow commuters, it does not have a feature to report Radar or Laser threats. Escort Live automatically reports Ka radar and laser alerts through the connected Escort and Beltronics radar detectors. Similarly, YaV1 app reports alerts through V1 detector.
It would be awesome if Waze can tap into these apps and provide wazers with these Ka/Laser alerts. This way, wazers would be more aware of exactly where and when a traffic enforcement officer is trying to catch…

Expand the Construction Warning
Expand the "Construction" tab to include multiple options to accurately warn drivers. For example:
- Flag Person
- Temporary Signal
- Left/Right/Center Lane Closed
- Lane Shift/Detour
- Pavement Ends
The biggest one for me is the lane closures, because I want to know which lane is blocked/closed ahead before I get to the situation. Just marking "construction" offers me no insight and just keeps me on high alert.

Taxi meter
I would be happy if you can integrate in your application one ficher of a taxi meter. You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
Thanks

LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.
