Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known
8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…15 votes -
Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

Truck Routes / Bike Routes
Add a commercial truck routes mode for truck drivers on the app, a lot of trailer tractor drivers out there struggling with traffic and fines bc of not knowing which routes are best for them on each new city they go to. PLEASE HAVE THIS IN CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH BIKE ROUTES TOO.

Sound Alert in LOCKED phone
I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
6 votesGreat news! This is now available in Waze for Android OS. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Opt out of certain alerts in route
I would like to be able to opt out of certain alerts in route. I have no interest in moderate or heavy traffic. I have a lot of interest in accidents or standstill traffic. Yet all are lumped together and I have to check every "red" dot to see if there is a real traffic problem rather than a minor inconvenience.

Integrate with cobra iRadar
Cobra has a radar detector that works with android and iphone. They upload/download radar locations for their own community. There may be an opportunity for the two companies to work together, and integrate with each other. Imagine: turn by turn nav, automatic traffic condition updates, user reported feedback of accidents and automatic reports of police radar points all in one cohesive application.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

Colour coded routes - showing traffic on route
Google Maps shows green, amber and red, so at a glance, its easy to see if there are issues on the route at any point along it. This is missing from Waze and would be a great addition, as, without it, you never quite know if you are heading towards issues.

Give me an email to send complaints to
I just deleted my waze app because it keeps sending me into accidents that have caused traffic build ups for hours. It completely undermines the entire point of this app. I have no way of letting waze know about these failures, atleast none I could easily find. I'm switching back to google maps

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Announce why WAZE is changing my route last minute. There are times she is right and times she is not. Tell me why example if there traffic
There are times WAZE tells me to change route and there is no reason to do so. Other times she is right to change but since she makes so many mistakes I continue on original route then find a 20 minute traffic back up. Just tell me with voice why I need to change by route.

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.

Let users add speed camera locations
I noticed with the newest update that you omitted letting users update red light/ speed camera locations from the app .. not sure- why but I’d like to petition you to please add it back ..... we here in NYC are getting bombarded with cameras that have nothing to do with driving safe ( not near schools - hospitals etc) they are just another way for this city to take money from its hard working overtaxed citizens..

Disable auto route to suggested destination
Often when I start my day, I'm not heading directly to the office. However, even after I enter a destination, I'll be prompted to navigate to "work". It will switch my destination without my input or any notification. Please turn off auto select for that navigation option. It's frustrating to think that Waze is taking me a traffic free route to find out it's navigating me to the wrong destination.

Do not turn our neighborhood into a motorway: no extra traffic during the traffic jam on the ring around Diest and keep to the 30 km/h zone.
