Please make the speed icon in the lower left corner larger with better contrasting colours. I find it difficult to read.

Save and later upload client data for areas with limited cell and/or Wi-Fi only users.
The amount of data saved currently is insufficient to allow mapping of vast rural areas. Saving this data when storage is available and later uploading will speed the completion of your goals.

Finf the best time for traveling
On our daily commute to work, Waze can offer a suggestion to reduce traveling time based on our records.
i.e. – suggest to leave 10 min earlier to save half hour in our morning or afternoon commute.
Waze is learning our schedule and can offer best time for traveling.
It will save time and gas money for all of us.2 votes -

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

More reportables
There are a few more reportables needed. We need one for mobile speed cameras and one for reporting where there is road works and the speed limits, because it could change your route.

Haptic alert
Hi
I want all speed alerts to be vibrational - via Apple Watch. I need the feature to be active all the time, so when I run out door and jump in car I know I will be alerted every time I exceed a speed limit. I need the vibration to continue until speed is back within limit.
This is essential for a motorcycle rider and I think best option for car driver also, you can be looking at phone or expecting to hear a ph in noisey environment, let alone feel a vib from phone in a loose…

Not sure if Waze does curves speed alert, that would be nice especially driving on a unfamiliar road at night or in poor visibility.

When you make a report, you should be able to remove or modify it. I reported a hidden speed trap, and a block later the cop took off.
Hazard reporting should be able to be removed or edited by the person who posted it, especially speed traps when the cop takes off just after you report it.

Enable the Difficult Turn setting to be time/day specific
Today we have the ability to mark a turn as difficult, but we don't have a way to say it is only difficult during certain times of the day like during commute hours, or even to be only weekdays when there is commute traffic.
The current UI could easily be updated to move the difficult turn box to the end of each row for the restriction. That way if an editor sets up a time for a restriction, it now becomes an option to be 100% restricted, or just difficult.
The editor could then set up a left turn…

Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.397 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Adding roadworks and speed camera to the report list
My Waze maps in Melbourne Australia does not have the option to report roadworks or sneaky pop up speed cameras that sit on the side of the road 🫣 as it's not police it feels wrong to report it as police on the map 🤷

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

Alert: Excessive traffic deceleration.
Irrespective of cause, unusually great deceleration of one vehicle is a hazard for the vehicles behind - at least on highways with average speed above that of city traffic.
Real-time alerts from the Waze system via our community of users may offer a unique opportunity to prevent (or reduce injuries and damage of) highway mass crashes.Various alerting criteria may be used e.g:
Client accelerometers (or GPS-speed time derivatives) indicating a deceleration greater than, say, the 80th percentile for that road (segment) or average speed level - established by Waze server statistics.7 votes
