Android Auto temp and time remaining
Hi - I am glad to see the Waze split screen on Android Auto. Could you please add back the trip time remaining? Right now, it just shows time of arrival and miles remaining. Also, can you add back temperature? Thanks!

police: trailing/leading (in motion vs stationary)
Reports of stationary police are nice, but reporting highway patrol on the prowl with that feature is untenable.
Please consider a feature to report actively pacing highway patrol with modifier for leading (ahead of officer), or trailing (behind officer).
There should be an option to anonymize the report should one be traveling WITH- or accelerating AWAY from- the highway patrol at speeds exceeding posted limits.

I'm sure a large percentage of users are elderly and other's with poor eyesight. If possible to make a larger size of the speed and Hwy numb

BUG: Start of trajectory speed control is not in the correct language
Situation: I live in the Netherlands, but both my iPhone and Waze are set to English (male voice in Waze). But when I approach a trajectory speed control, the warning is spoken in Dutch (female voice). I've seen several mentions of this when searching on Google, so I'm not the only one with this issue.

Waze notifies you of toll roads approaching
I drive around with Waze on there's no set destinations so I can know how traffic is Flowing, speed limits, hazards and such notifications as that. What waze should do is have a notification of toll roads if you are driving in their Direction if your avoid toll road option is on

Show potential variance in route time
It seems that Waze picks the best route at the time navigation starts.
With all the timing and route information that Waze and Google collects, it should be easy to calculate a good variance for the time of day.
It might be nice if Waze could display a midspread or "middle 50%" time, i.e. the time estimate for 50% of all drivers on that route at that time of day.
So maybe below the estimated arrival of "9:02", it would show "(9:00 - 9:15)"
It'd be even better if it took this into consideration when routing, like preferring a…

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…

Announce a speed camera even when not speeding
This was apparently added in a recent update but it does not work or it hasn’t been added. It would be good if waze announced a camera was coming up even when you are not speeding
Please add or fix!

Time since road been driven
Tells user most recent time since another wazer traveled that road, highway, street, etc.
This idea would allow users to know accuracy of road reports, or if none be aware of possible reports.

How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could
How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could be a picture of a radar gun. Also, don't allow a single user to remove a police icon. It's too easy for the police to click "not there" themselves on a dummy account and it disappears.

When somebody mark hidden police, other wazers not everytime see policescan radar and they unmark, but realy there is speed contron. You can see there is or there isn't police car, but policescan radar not all wazers see, because it is small, night time, put near trees, or in the back. I think if somebody mark hidden police, and other wazers can't unmark it 4-6hours it will be better

Wase Alarm. It would be great if Wase could let you know when to leave to your destination based on the time it will take to get there.
I would like my Wase to let me know when I have to leave to my destination just in time to get there at the time I need to get there. So I can stay the longest at point A before leaving to point B. Thanks a lot for the great job. NOTHING CAN BEAT FREE PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER.

Latest update is garbage
Speed limit small and unreadable, current speed worse since it is also small and with zero contrast between background and speed font color. Please tell your developers not everyone has a tablet sized display like Tesla, as it seems this version was developed for a MUCH larger display than most cars have. In the words of Colin Chapman, less is more- this update was a regressive rather than progressive. Read the latest reviews on the Play store, I'm not in the minority.....

Reminder: time to take a break!
We suggest introducing notifications that would remind drivers to take a 10 minute break when they have driven for 2 hours non-stop, and after a 4 hour drive would suggest taking a 20 minute power nap.
Research by the Latvian Road Traffic Safety Directorate shows that 11,7% of drivers are at high risk of falling asleep, and 1/3 of all drivers have experienced falling asleep at the wheel for a second in the last year.
By reminding drivers how important it is to take breaks, Waze can help prevent tragic accidents and save lives.

Option for reporting closed roads in map editor with start and end time
During big events many roads can be closed. It would be great if map editors (maybe only lvl2+) could report this directly in the map editor with a given start time and end time.

Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)
I notices that fastest route is chosen.
I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.
Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best…

Congestion color code
I recommend the color of the road be shown based on the current speed motorist are experiencing; potentially if traveling at or above the speed limit, green, 10% below orange, 20% below yellow, and 30% or lower red.

Time saved vs detour tolerance slider
The biggest complaint I hear from non waze users is that it routes you a zig zag through a neighborhood or takes you off/on the highway to save 20 seconds.. I use it everywhere I go myself, still worth it BUT I do get annoyed when a significant amount of twists and turns if they don't end up being necessary.
I suggest a slider in settings in which the user could say "keep me on the most direct route unless it saves me at least" 3 minutes.. 5 minutes.. 10 minutes etc.
In order words allow me to set my …
