Traffic Simulation For Wazers To Work Together To Improve Traffic
Make a simulation to see what traffic would be like if either everybody abided by the laws OR people worked together to go a "Waze assisted" speed to improve traffic flow for others (for instance, speed up or slow down according to upcoming traffic information to help maintain traffic flow together). It could also tell you how many people/wazers you would affect, positively, from the actions you take.

Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.10 votes -
Allow a start/stop feature for hazzards/lane restrictions, traffic jams, etc.
When traveling through a construction area allow a start/stop point so others can choose atl. routes. This can also be for speed reductions, accident sites, etc.

A useful improvement:
if you drive faster than the allowed speed, Waze will beep once, but if you could set Waze to beep continuously until you drive at the allowed speed (slower), then it would be a very, very great app

Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below a certain…31 votes -
Being able to use both metric and imperial/US units.
In Puerto Rico, we use kilometers (km) to measure distance but we use miles per hour (MPH) to measure speed since we are a US territory. In the app, you can only choose imperial or metric. I would like to be able to use MPH to measure speed while using metric units to measure distance.

More police icons
I would like to see a feature where when a police is located you can have an option to say if it’s an RBT or mobile speed camera ect… have an option to say what police are there instead of just a police icon.

Automate road closure Report
It is difficult to report road closures in real time - especially on a freeway - because of the approach speed and unexpected driving adjustment. If Waze inquired why I missed a turn/off-on ramp it would be helpful. This is similar to when Waze asks "you slowed down - are you in traffic?" If Waze notices that I missed a turn/off-on ramp it should ask "you missed a turn- was there a road closure ?" This way I can report later ( give me 60 secs) when safe. If I just missed the turn because I was distracted or chose…

multicolor traject controlled side bar
The side bar appearing when you are in a speed controlled zone (traject control) is always green. If the average speed of this zone is 70 can the app constantly calculate your speed and keep the bar green when you are in this average speed but turn yellow when you reach 70 and red when you cross the average speed (71-up) so you know you need to slow down to stay on the average speed, or you have room to speed up a little when you had to stop for any reason without overspeeding the average speed…

Identify Tope’s / speedbumps in Mexico
Just like potholes might be a good idea- in Mexico there are 1000’s of speedbumps that in Spanish are called Topes. It would be a great value add to add an alert for upcoming speed bumps as non-local drivers are at risk of hitting speed bumps at full road speed which is dangerous for the driver and vehicle. This feature would be greatly valued for drivers in any country that uses speed bumps to control vehicle velocity

Police report : choosing the exact location
It is crucial to add a feature that allows users to pinpoint the exact location of police officers on the map. Or to be able to correct the location of the police officer. This increased precision will help drivers easily identify control zones and adjust their speed accordingly.

Reports and Hazard Alerts
Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Help for eco-driving
It would be good to have Waze indicating when I should preferably slow down when arriving on a round-about or about to enter a town or a curve where my current speed is inaccurate and will result in breaking - previous speed maintained too long was then a waste of gasoline, anticipation could save loads of it

Notification prioritisation
Sometimes when there is a vehicle stopped near a speed camera, the app will prioritise showing the stopped vehicle over the speed camera. Can we have a setting to allow us to set notification priorities to dictate which notifications are shown ahead of others.

Multiple SpeedLimit
Currently, Speed limit alerts merely with a "beep" sound.
1st, I suggest to make it possible to select our favorite sound from internal memory for any limit excession,
2nd, let us adjust more than one limit; for example exactly in speed limit and when the speed reaches to +10km/h more than limit.1 vote -
Receive alerts even when Waze isn’t in the foreground of Apple CarPlay
I use Apple CarPlay and I may not always have Waze in the foreground. I find that I don’t always receive speed camera alerts unless I am speeding.
It would be excellent to receive audible alerts of speed cameras, or other speed trap or police related alerts, no matter what app is running in the foreground.

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre22 votes
