1. Detect when Traffic has cleared with volunteers

   Reports of bad traffic persist long after the condition has cleared. Maybe Waze could send volunteer ‘sacrificial lambs’ through heavy traffic areas to monitor traffic, maybe even pay them?

2. Wazing colleagues daily with my car

   I drive a car daily to work morning and evening. (3 empty seats)

   I have 3 other colleagues that I can pick up during morning and go together at work in the same area.

   Idea proposal: I want to plan in advance (1day earlier for example) a route to my work/ school and my work/school colleagues to join in the planned routes. The colleagues must see my GPS position when I start and when I am approaching them.
   Everything to choose inside the app.

   It means 3 cars less on the road during one day!

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

3. Add function to calculate how many hours I want to travel before stopping.

   Add a function to add a number of hours you wish to travel toward your destination so you can select a hotel in that city for the night.
   
   Frequently traveling across country and trying to select a hotel on the fly can be a problem because I have no idea where I plan to stop. If I could just say I want to travel 6 or 8 hours it could suggest to me some possible towns or cities to stop in allowing me to do a quich search for a hotel in the area that is pet friendly for instance.

4. Neighborhood/City patrol control gamification using waze

   New suggestion of Waze functionality.

   My suggestion is simple and very useful for various types of business.
   Using a map and a specific route to complete as a neighborhood area or entire city, you can create an application (gamification), for example: for a local security guy with a car that needs to fill a number of streets to check during a night shift, or a police patrol or a garbage collector, etc.

   This application can sinalize the % complete or measure efficiency by speed, streets missing , has control points and others functionalities and can also provide visibility to a specific audience of service status.

   Thanks for attencion.

5. Sharing Routes With Friends

   The sharing tool from Whatsapp is not so accurate, so it would be very nice to have something to like that but functional. The main idea is an option that you could save the actual route that you're running and export this to your friends, it would be very useful for trips to countryside and rural areas.And in urban areas sometimes you may not want the shorter or the faster way but the safer way. - general

6. WAZE navigation system could be adapted to the nation's railroad netword where it could become a new-technology Positive Train Control.

   Railroad Safety: a Ten Billion Dollar Boondoggle
   Carl E. Nash, Ph.D.
   Derailments and collisions between trains are spectacular. Their economic and environmental consequences are considerable and they kill and injure people. In response, over the past forty years, pressed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Congress the railroads have been implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) systems to reduce the potential for these crashes.
   Actually, U.S. railroads are quite safe for passengers. An average of only 5 people die in train crashes each year: slightly more than are killed in motor vehicle crashes in an hour. The number of serious injuries among train occupants is similarly low. On the other hand, nearly 700 “trespassers” die annually after being struck by trains while on or near railroad tracks and about 100 more are killed in vehicles struck by trains at grade crossings. These casualties are a consequence of two challenges: trains cannot be stopped quickly and it is difficult to keep people away from railroad tracks. PTC will do nothing for those struck by moving trains.
   The nation’s railroads and the FRA have spent about $10 billion on a variety of PTC systems and will apparently spend a few billion more to complete them. According to the FRA: “PTC systems are integrated command, control, communications, and information systems designed to prevent train accidents by controlling train movements with safety, security, precision, and efficiency.”
   Railroad transportation in the U.S. matured a century ago. Train dispatch, safety, maintenance, and such were mostly developed in the 20th century. More recent technologies are mostly used to provide an electronic substitute or enhancement of what had been done by hand. Modern communications are generally used as a substitute for the telegraph or telephones. It is an important, but hoary industry in desperate need of a 21st Century overhaul.
   Road users have the advantage of well-developed, real time, satellite-based navigation systems. There is no such unified system for railroads. Instead, the railroads are wasting their and the government’s money on ten duplicative, but not particularly compatible PTC systems that require very large numbers of expensive, high maintenance, and probably unreliable trackside sensors to monitor the position and speed of train sets. Since railroads regularly use each other’s’ tracks, this duplication is bizarre. Implementation of PTC has been delayed for years, at least in part because of the cost to complete it.
   
   The WAZE/Google navigation system provides not only information on where roads go, which can be used for trip planning, it also monitors traffic to show what the most rapid route is likely to be. It does this by monitoring, through satellite communications, the behavior of vehicles using this navigation system to determine areas of road congestion or other problems.
   
   Adapting this system to railroads would be relatively easy. WAZE/Google could substitute a map of the rail network for the road network and show the appropriate speed limit on all stretches of track as well as switch positions. This would be used to warn engineers if they are operating in a dangerous manner. In the event that an engineer ignores this warning, the receiver in the locomotive could automatically apply the train’s brakes.
   
   As with the highway system the positions and speeds all locomotives using the system, as determined using GPS, along with the positions of all switches in the system and the location of maintenance operations, could be sent through satellite to a central control where it would be monitored to determine the potential collision between trains.
   There are roughly 27,000 locomotives, some thousands of additional train sets not pulled by locomotives, and 140,000 miles of track in the United States. The cost of installing equipment to send and receive signals, for navigation, and for computer-based automatic braking would be less than $5,000 per locomotive and per switch for a total less than three hundred million dollars. (The cost of a real-time navigation system, along with automatic braking is less than $1000 per motor vehicle.) Software for adapting the highway navigation system to PTC and establishing a central control to warn of collisions would cost less than $100 million. Thus, an estimate of well under a billion dollars for all of the PTC hardware and software to implement a new, navigation-based PTC system seems reasonable. This is considerably less than the cost of completing the current PTC systems and could be paid by a consortium of railroads. If the will were there, it should not take more than about a year to implement this new system.
   A modern PTC could also become a basis for a more modern approach to railroad scheduling and management that could reduce costs and ensure more efficient use of the rail network. It could replace the current, antiquated, inefficient block system for regulating the use of rails. Because of industry competition and anti-trust considerations, it may require Congressional action to force national cooperation in establishing a unified 21st Century PTC system.
   The current approach to railroad safety is out of date and makes little sense. It lacks a rational connection with the reality of how most people are killed and injured in connection with railroads and the availability of effective technology. It results in ridiculous spending on what, at least in terms of human losses, is a relatively minor problem.
   PTC based on the technologies used for road navigation could substantially reduce human, equipment, and other losses from collisions and derailments. These savings would be sufficient to pay for the 21st century system based on the Google navigation system. It would also be an excellent business opportunity for WAZE/Google. The fact that billions have already been invested in PTC is irrelevant to the question of how the railroads should proceed with PTC. It must abandon the current wasteful development and start with a fresh approach as outlined herein.

8. Feedback on poor service

   App takes really long time to search for address's compare to other services like google maps.

   During a recent Natural disaster my local city faced, We got spam blocked from marking all the pot holes and hazards that were created and other road issues. Honestly it capped at 6-8 reports. We had 100's.
   
   Additionally all the alerts made disappeared after 2 days even though they were all still present and users in the area kept say they were still their.

   Furthermore the red light camera notification keeps turning my music off, and there's no options to change how that works from what I can see.

9. Search along current route changed?

   During a route, Waze used to search along the current route for my search term and give results +minutes off route but now it seems to have just changed to +minutes away from current location. If I am leaving Chicago on a 1 hour drive into the suburbs and I would like to find ice cream along my route, now I have to wait until outside of the city in the area I think there might be one to start searching whereas before it would give me locations say 30 mins along the route but which ice cream is 0 mins off my route…
   Please bring that back!!!

10. I'm losing faith!

    I travel from Folsom CA to the San Francisco/OAkland area about once per month. On a good day, it can be done in less than 2 hours. Several times recently, the suggested route was far more than that. For example, last night I was traveling from Oakland, leaving at around 1045pm. It is a distance of 105 miles, most of it a straight northeast shot down the highway. The Waze route wanted me to take a 149 mile circuitous route which would get me there at 1:04 am. I ignored that and took my chances going straight and got there ate 12:14.

11. Marking roads as non-allowed transit routes

    In Sweden quite a few roads are prohibited from use when it comes to transit routes, usually because they run through densely populated areas and school zones. Using these prohibited routes will get you a fine if caught.

13. Automatic link to an emergency center

    Areas of emergency and responsible for them is a regional hotline and not police for example Highway 6 and Shomron
    It would be good to have an automatic link to the relevant hotline when traveling on this road.

15. Inform drivers of vehicles on side of road

    I'm driving in one direction and inform other Waze drivers of a vehicle on my side, but when I'm heading back, I notice that the vehicle I tagged earlier is gone. I would like to be able to have the option to click "not there". This goes for police as well because there are times where a cop is posted, but when I get to the area, it's gone. I believe people are just posting that a vehicle or cop is there as a " joke". There should be a way to stop that as well. Send me an email if this is possible. Thanks

16. Reduce size of lower notification box

    Lower Notification bar too high and wide:
    The lower bar that shows ETA, time and Km left occupies too much area of the screen, hiding vital information very often.
    When there is a warning, like for example, an imminent radar, the notification box gets even bigger and covers like 1/3 of the screen, hiding something as vital as the max. speed allowed.
    The lower bar could display the same info using one third or even less screen space than it uses now. I suggest you to reduce its size and maybe keep it in the left lower corner to allow better visibility of the map and other info on screen.

17. "Blind" Report Entry

    I have an idea about how to make Waze truly "blind" -- i.e. how to use it to post accurate and detailed notices without ever having to look at the device (or look away from traffic).

    The way it works right now is you tap the Report Icon and then a screen appears with a number of options. For most options there are suboptions, and then you have to send the report for it to make it visible to other Wazers. This means a minimum of FOUR times you must glance at your phone in order to report something. However, there is a way that you don't need to look even once! It involves sounds and dragging.

    To start a report, the button should be in the bottom-right corner -- all the way in the corner, so we can FEEL where the button is by tracing the edge of our screen with our fingers. Once our finger is touching that corner area for a moment, then is plays a unique sound. This sound tells the driver that they are activating the report screen.

    The report screen appears only if the finger remains touching the screen, but stays up as long as the finger is there. The sound the report screen might make is a 'C' xylophone note.

    Then the user drags their finger to another spot on the pop-up. As they drag their finger to that spot, different options play different sounds. Traffic might be a 'G' xylophone note, while Police might be an 'E'. So the user can determine which issue they are reporting by hearing the sound that corresponds to that issue. After hovering for a moment on that issue, a secondary pop-up screen appears and sub-options are listed here. Again a different sound will play for each of these sub-options that are dragged over ('A' and 'D' xylophone notes for minor traffic, 'A' and 'G#' for standstill, etc).

    After hearing the correct sequence of sounds (of which would take some time to get used to but then should work smoothly), the user then lets go of the phone. A second tap anywhere would confirm the report (which could play a 'C' chord or something).

    The user would hold down their finger, dragging to two places, and tapping. Never once should he/she have to look away from the road. With time this would be much faster than regular reporting as well.

    Other options for sounds:
    -- A voice reporting the current option ("Accident", "Caution", etc)
    -- Sound effects ("car crash", "squealing tires", honking", etc)
    -- Other instruments ("trumpets", or "Johnny Cash" (In fact you could have guest performers as well, like an add-on like the voice commands)).

18. Add option to avoid specific streets in navigation

    Sometimes I want to avoid a specific street or area due to police controls, protests, or personal reasons. These are not always reported in Waze, so the app doesn’t know to avoid them.

    I suggest adding a setting where users can select certain streets or zones to avoid, either temporarily or permanently. This way, Waze can calculate alternate routes that respect these preferences.

    It could be similar to the existing “Avoid tolls” or “Avoid highways” options, but more customizable. Maybe a long-press on the map or a list where we add “Streets to Avoid”.

    This would give drivers more control and improve the overall experience.

19. WiFi for CarPlay/AndroidAuto and Phone for Data

    The key point here is that
    I HAVE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO MY CAR's ONSTAR DATA PLAN

    1. my iPhone is able to connect to the car over WiFi for Apple Car Play
    2. Waze is able to operate through "WiFi Car Play" on my car's infotainment system
    3. This is key: THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DATA PLAN. So while I'm connected to the car's local area network (LAN) my phone does not have wide area network (WAN) data through the car's WiFi.
    4. Since the phone is connected to the car over WiFi, Waze thinks it should have WAN data and doesn't try any other method like the phone's 5G connection. Since the WiFi is LAN-only, Waze does not have a voice for turn information and it does not have any crowd-sourced information.

    It would be great if Waze could test for WAN data over WiFi and if it finds there is nothing there it switches to 5G for data. It can stay connected to WiFi for CarPlay, but get the data to operate separately. Maybe you could create an on/off switch for this in the settings so people can choose.

    My only work around is to connect by wire and continue to turn off my phone's WiFi so that it doesn't try to connect to the WiFi CarPlay. If Waze could do Car Play over WiFi and separately data over 5G this would be much better.

20. Clean up Navigation route

    Make your navigation route easier to see in congested areas by removing all the stuff not on your route. When using navigation, remove alerts, users, and traffic that are not on the identified route. Also, allow for traffic condition to be seen under the navigation route.
