1. WME is trying to merge 2 pois that have the same name but different address

   In the editor, it is sometimes necessary to create 2 pois with a distance between them of 50 meters or less. These pois have the same name but different addresses. When saving, the editor tries to merge the pois. It is necessary to check for attempts to merge not only the poi name, but also its address. If the addresses of the pois are different, then these are different pois, and not an attempt to create a duplicate.

2. Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput

   I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one

   It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.

   The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.

   If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and enough app users tried to keep to that that target speed and maintain proper distance from cars in front of them, perhaps we could collectively improve traffic flow in our communities, even without autonomous cars.

3. Road closures

   I'm a traffic flagger for a utility company. When I need to close a road, i can't do it unless I'm at the nearest intersection. How do I do this without being at that intersection, which may be a long distance from my work site.
   Also, how can I open a road I've closed? Seems the next wazer has to open it; that's mot fair to other drivers. How can I open a road ive closed?

4. Alerte spéciale pour un véhicule qui circule en sens inverse

   Bonjour,

   Je voudrai proposer un bouton d'alerte pour prévenir que l'on vient de croiser un véhicule roulant dans le sens inverse.

   C'est ce qui m'est arrivé sur une utouroute française, et j'aurai vraiment aimé avoir plus de solution pour prévenir les autres wazers de ce véhicule au comportement dangereux.

   Cordialement

5. Aquaplaning Risk

   I would like to suggest introducing “Aquaplaning risk” as a climate alert. It should be useful during raining days to another driving wazers.
   Thanks in advance,

6. Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas

   As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).

   The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.

   This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life situations, such as:
   • Missing or abducted persons (AMBER Alerts): Drivers might spot a vehicle or person described in the alert.
   • Severe accidents or road closures: Helps users understand unexpected congestion or hazards.
   • Public safety warnings: For example, dangerous weather events, wildfires, or police searches in specific regions.

   Waze already excels at community-based awareness, and this feature would extend that community role to public safety. It could help save lives, assist law enforcement, and make Waze even more valuable as a real-time information platform.

   To prevent spam or overload, the system could only display verified government alerts, limited by category and relevance (e.g., within 30–50 km, or active within the last few hours).

7. Turn by turn direction alert only for last few kilometres option

   Is it possible to give turn-by-turn instructions only for the last few kilometres (configurable), while the rest of the trip will give only hazard alerts? This will help enjoy the music without interruption during the initial journey in know roads.

8. Problem in route visualization when displaying alerts

   When Waze displays route alerts the alert appears over the map when the phone is in horizontal position and it is not possible to see what should be done ahead. Please review this, as previous versions didn't have this issue.

10. save lives: hijack hot spot and unsafe or damaged roads

    DANGER HOT SPOTS
    South Africa is riddled with crime and Waze can literally save hundreds of lives by allowing users to post hot sports at dangerous intersections. Simply being aware of a dangerous intersection will allow people to stop at that light with a safe escape distance. If the intersection gets safer somebody could post as not dangerous anymore

    UNSAFE ROADS
    Ive had numerous flat tyres from driving over a pothole. Imagine i could post a section of the road as damaged road. Id then be aware that i should be looking out for potholes. In the unlikely occasion that it ever gets fixed somebody could say not there anymore.

    DANGER ROADS
    Waze recently took me past a very dangerous street at night. Would have been cool if i had an option to avoid it.

    I am absolutely certain that every person with a smart phone in south africa would use waze just for the safety benefits.

    just ideas.

    Loving waze!!! Keep up the good work

11. Discretionary right turns

    Suggest identifying discretionary right turns and adding a voice alert when drivers are approaching these junctions in Singapore. This could potentially act as a notice and/or reminder, and reduce accident rates at these junctions as drivers may not be aware/alert to these, especially if they are taking an unfamiliar route.

12. "Along route" should be a choice when searching for a point of interest!

    Many times while driving I want to find a restaurant, bathroom, gas station, etc. I'll get results, but a) many are already far behind me, and b) the distance is off. How about giving an "Along route" option? Unless the only option is behind me, it is silly that I have to test 4 or 5 choices that move me backwards before I find one that is ahead of me. Waze knows where I am headed and knows where the places are, so that should be the clear and obvious option.

    And why can't the distance be correct? Again, Waze knows where I am and where the destination is. If it says "2 miles", when I enter it, it should be 2 miles, not 5 or 6 miles. Makes no sense.

    Similar on how to report police, would be nice to be able to report mto commercial vehicle enforcement. Also would be nice to be able for the reporting wazer to be able to move reporting postion, often it ends up not being accurate.

14. Radar audio warning trigger model

    I don't know if this is a new topic or not, but this is a problem that I've encountered wherein the normal Waze behavior is almost like a bug.

    How it works today
    The visual on screen warning for a Speed camera is based on distance only. I.e it will always show on-screen when the driver is X meters from the camera.
    However, the audio warning for a speed camera only activates if you pass the "detection distance" and are "over speed"

    Problem
    In this specific case, the radar is a 70 km/h radar. The detection distance however is when the driver is still in a 30 zone. Very few drivers will drive above 70 km/h there.
    Also, the Audio warning only triggers once. What I mean by this is that Waze will only trigger the audio warning when both of the following conditions are met simultaneously:

    if the driver enters the detection distance
    and is at over speed.
    

    This means that if the driver after passing the detection distance speeds up to a speed greater than the radar, he will still not receive an audio warning.

    How it should work
    The audio warning should trigger anytime:

    the driver is inside the detection zone
    and is over speed.
    

    The difference here is zone vs distance. The app should play an audio warning as soon as the driver's speed increases past the radar speed and is within the zone preceding the radar. It should also trigger again if the drivers slows down to a speed below the Radar and then back up again while in the zone.

15. insufisant speed limit notification

    Hello and Happy New Year to all.
     It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
      - The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
    You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
      - The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.

     For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows to avoid alerts or close parallel roads.
      For my part I turnaround the 2 problèmes by using Glob traffic and radar along with waze.
    Pop up's and Sound alerts from Glob can effectively overcome these two major problems
      Hoping that the effectiveness of the waze team can provide treatment in 2014 these points
     Cordially.

16. Speeding alerts, 30.40 and 50 km/h above limit

    At the moment the speeding alert can be set to a maximum of 20km over the limit but I also need other thresholds, 30.40 and 50km/h. In some countries, exceeding the speed limit by 50km/h leads to the suspension of the driving license.

17. Set up "Next time I'm passing this location" reminders

    I propose an option to remind me of a task I need to do when I am close to a particular location... I set a reminder to pop up and/or a spoken notification when I am within a selected distance to a selected location... eg: Remind me to pick up new windscreen wiper blades when I'm in the vicinity of the auto spares shop....or...Remind me to drop into Tom's and pay him for my tickets.... This could be linked to my calendar though a sperate in app option may be better because calendars are for specific times and dates and this option is for reminding me when I'm passing by. Having an optional permanent quick entry slot in the pull down notification list or a widget would top it off perfectly.

19. Option to toggle turn on/off fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn

    I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it, and the fade function is nice, but I like to use the waze with cellphone soundspeaker's instead of BT and, even so, my music through BT have this terrible fade-off on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn speak.

    Please, consider an option to disble that, so we have a choise to use or not the fade-of on music.

    Thanks!

20. Customised alerts for motorcycles

    I would prefer that there is more of an alert function that makes the whole screen flash red as when I’m riding my motorcycle I need something that catches my eye so I can look down briefly as my phone is attached to my handle bars. Right now just the top of screen alerts green.
