Using previous traffic accidents to highlight dangerous corners, junctions and roads to warn drivers.
Maybe highlighting areas in red where there’s high accident rates or even putting a bouquet of flowers or something as a symbol for a previous road death. Making drivers more wary when entering a dangerous corner, junctions etc.

Improve routing server system
Help customers by giving consistent, high-quality service through your routing server.
I am a long-time user of Waze and I live in Dayton, Ohio. In more than one quarter of my travels, Waze fails with a "routing server timeout" not just once each time, but repeatedly until I stop trying. Grrrrr.
The failure rate is even higher when I travel outside of the Dayton area. Please fix your service or redesign the routing server logic.
- On long trips, I have to select smaller subsets of my route in order to receive traffic-based guidance.
Then I have to enter…17 votes -
Route optimization for manual transmission vehicles (minimize stop-n-go routing)
Allow a user setting for vehicle transmission type. Selecting a "manual transmission" setting would alter the routing engine logic to choose an equal duration or marginally slower route with less stop-n-go traffic (therefore less shifting and holding a manual clutch). Based on traffic speeds and stop signs/lights, routes could be optimized to minimize coming to a complete stop repeatedly.

"Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"
Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.
Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they are basically right next to each…

maximum one report per X miles
Hi there,
Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.
In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))
But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

Choose time of reports before calculates the route
The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

Make a difference between a solo police speed radar control and traject control.
When you enter a traject speed control zone, it would be great to have a time bar in the display, just the way it is shown during traffic jam. Off course for traject speed contole zone, it should be in a other color

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

Leaderboard for miles driven
There should be a leaderboard that's based on your miles driven. It gives you points based on how far you drive. Then gives you car unlocks after hitting certain milestones, 100mi, 500mi, etc.
Bonus points should be given for miles driven in heavy traffic. A set multiplier based on the color of the traffic i.g 1x for green, 2x for yellow, and 5x for red.

Turn off screen option
i think i would be great if you could turn off only the screen + lock the key, with let the data & gps active.
what for ?
in my case, i ride motorcycle and i can't place my cellphone on the carplug and the battery go quickly down without it. (because data, gps, screen consume big)
so i want to place it in my pocket and just have sound (trough my Earbuds) like that i'm aware when i'm crossing police trap, slow traffic etc....

show "this route is xx minutes longer" at the decision points
Would it be possible to show "this route is xx minutes longer" at the decision points according to the current traffic situation? Just as it is in Google Maps - a very useful feature!

Multi-Stop Route Planning
Overview:
Waze currently allows users to set a single destination at a time, requiring them to manually input a new route after reaching their first stop. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially for users who need to make multiple stops in one trip.
Proposed Feature:
Enable users to set a route with multiple destinations in advance. Instead of navigating only from Point A to Point B, users will be able to plan a route such as:
A → B → C → D
Waze will automatically guide them from one stop to the next without requiring manual input between…48 votes -

Look on map events from Report ahead list
It would be useful if you can see on map events listed in Report ahead. Let say you are driving and you notice some traffic jam ahead so you just select that event and it shows on map where you can decide if you change your way or stay.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…281 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Temporary private roads <-> RTC
Concerning roadworks, city nowadays more and more define areas around the closed roads as temporary private roads to route traffic around the closed areas. Now we have no there solution but to close those roads also, but this results in many URs stating that the roads are not closed for the inhabitants or customers of the businesses located there. Would it be possible to create a sort of RTP (Realtime Private road) like the closures we have now?
