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 -
More options for changing distance units
Having the map directions/ETA distance units option as well as the speed limit option. For example, the map directions/ETA in kms and then showing the speed limit in miles.
This would be useful for someone driving out of country to be aware of the speed limit while maintaining their preferred units for the directions.
I am a Canadian living in the US therefore am driving in miles/speed limit is in miles but I have a better sense of distance in kms.8 votes -
Add comments when reporting police presence/speed trap
Would like a feature added when reporting police running radar, comments like: “sitting in church parking lot with lights off”.

Road Condition Rating/Grades
Showing potholes is a great feature especially in snowy climate. It would also be great to rate the road and conditions. Such as a block feature or an avoidance feature. I traveled 20mph on a road label 50mph due to how terrible the conditions was, it felt like I hit a speed bump every 40 yards. I would label this road a "D", if I could avoid these roads like a less than "C" feature, that would be awesome. User ratings paired with GPS acceleration compared to the speed limit could really help avoid these disastrous neglected road and pick…
39 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!

On this waze version, a new icon ( add friends...) located on the close to bottom right of the screen partially hides the speed meter.
Either get rid of this almost useless icon or at least move it up in such a way it does not overlap the speed indicator

Vehicle Type - Van to be added
Under Vehicle Type in Settings, Could there be a vehicle type for Vans that shows the correct speed you can go on certain roads, as in the UK Vans are restricted on speed on certain types of roads like on a national speed limit single carriageway it 50mph for a van instead of 60mph, aswell as a dual carriageway it’s 60mph instead of 70mph.

Hybrid Zoom Mode
Add a third option to the zoom choices. A hybrid mode that uses the closer of the speed or distance zoom. This would allow for the map to zoom in as you approach your next turn at highway speeds and also zoom into your location in slow traffic to show possible alternate routes, while otherwise staying zoomed out.

Speeding Camera icon
I suggest that the Speeding Camera icon can be more obvious or may be larger on map.. Coz I sometimes I mistook the icon as other wazers.. Or wazer icons are too much to cover over the speeding camera icon... Thank you for reviewing my feedback.

RADARS:
When a radar has different speeds depending on traffic or pollution, and has not a fix speed limit but changes, then it would be useful that user may load the speed, so all users would be advised about real limit each time, just for the ones that has different speeds. For the other it would be useful to infrom about speed limit.

Update reporting location
It would be great to mark where the report is, example, after observing a police speed trap, we should be able to mark where the trap is. Now Waze assumes it is right where I am when making the report, but that is not accurate.

Help calculate ETA based on passive speeds of fellow Wazers
I'm not sure if it's already exists or not... But I'm wondering how calculations are done in terms of "estimated times of arrival"?
Is Waze passively tracking and analyzing the speed data from other Wazers while driving?
For instance, if everyone on the highway is doing 75 or 80 miles an hour ahead of you, Waze should be able to use those analytics to create a more accurate ETA.
Instead, I often find myself driving and arriving sooner than the ETA because traffic dictates driving a bit faster so as not to be unsafe.
Additionally, this could also share an…

bonjour,
bonjour,
il pourrait être utile de rajouter une option de réglage de la vitesse maximum du véhicule pour les utilisateurs qui, comme moi utilisent parfois un véhicule du groupe lourd limité à 90km/h

WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map
WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map, about the only App where they are not shown!

Support vans
Please please support speed limits for vans and give the option to drive to commercial vehicles speeds (VANS)
It really will help A LOT OF VAN DRIVERS in keeping to the different speed limits. It’s a great app but make it better by adding this feature.8 votes -
have a countdown of kilometres based on the speed limit when going into a tunnel
Any time you drive into a tunnel that goes underground the GPS thinks you’re above the ground and starts changing the directions as it thinks you’re above the ground on the Street level when underground in the tunnel so if you need to then go 20 km in the tunnel and there’s various exits. How do you know how far you’ve driven in order to get to your exit underground when it’s recalculating because it thinks you’re above the ground and never figures it out that you’re actually still in the tunnel. So maybe have an option where people can…

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.
