Let Users Identify Faster Moving Lanes
Many times I am in traffic and one lane is moving faster than another. I would like to be able to alert other Waze users to this saving them time

Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

Search text size
When searching for a location by name, many times the name is so long you get no additional information as to the street or city or have any idea except the distance if the same name exists on multiple streets and cities. You have no idea where the location is. A good example is searching for Cracker Barrel restaurants. Recent search turned up 8 locations but none of the results in the app showed street or city.

Some bugs encountered with the application
I use Waze very frequently for my work. Both as a GPS and as an assistant for road hazards.
I've noticed a few anomalies in Android Auto.When I approach a speed camera, Waze informs me about it and the distance. As soon as I have passed the zone, the "Speed camera" indication remains on the screen and Waze does not provide any other information.
I have taken some pictures of the problem encountered. If you want them, let me know where I should send them.Thank you.

Map scale indicator
Have you ever wondered how many miles long that traffic jam is up ahead? I sure have, but Waze gives no indication of distances on a map. How about one of the little bars that indicates the scale of the current map view - you know 1 inch equals a mile, etc.

Narrated story while passing by interesting landmarks
While travilng to unknown places, it would be nice if waze will alert you of any interesting landmarks or relevent facts along your way. It will have to be according to a list that specify what you are interested in, and have an easy off switch for people using waze for daily drives.
The alert can be either like a commercial or a link to the relevent wikipedia page, or it could be narrarted for hearing while driving.1 vote -
To small numbers
Hi, i have updated to the latest version of waze. While driving, i always mount my phone in landscape position (90 degrees)
I realized that the guide of remaining distance and remaining minutes has gone in tilt position. It only appear sometimes bit to small to read it. Need magnifying glass to read the number remaining minutes and kilometers.
This is so troublesome and not user friendly. I wiah i could downgrade it to the previous version where i can read it easily.
Fyi, i am using it on Huawei P9. Really hope you can fix this in the soonest…

Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.

Waze protect people on road
Hello my idea could safe people's life and make some extra profit for Waze.
Imagine you are cyclist, runner, wolker or group of cyclist with kids or etc.
You open Waze app choose ''protect mode'' option and select who you are. Then everyone who will driving on the same road will have an alert to slow down because you are ahead.I know that almost every new car has safety systems, but no one can see behind the corner.
Waze can sell and provide these live data to other companies like Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and they can implement them…

Auto-pause voice-nav-alert prompts based on GPS speed
While temporarily stopped for fuel, groceries, restroom breaks, it's annoying to hear turn left at State Road 19 navigation prompts from my back pocket. Can you automatically silence voice prompts based on gps speed? Of course this would need to be a user preference config. I saw a manual pause feature request, but I imagine drivers would get annoyed if they forget to re-enable it. The tech exists to auto-pause / auto-resume.

Allow speedometer/magnify/alerts button to be placed on either side
Screens are getting bigger. Have an option to put the alert buttons on the side closest to the driver. This may help with people with short arms and also will help keep eyes on the road!

Hire car return - Find a petrol station
This is a bit weak as a stand alone app, so I was thinking you could integrate this into Waze.
When returning hire cars you are required to return with a full tank of gas, otherwise be charged an extortionate rate.
So if you are navigating to an airport or car hire facility, allow a function in Waze, within a set radius inform you of the distance to a gas station (and reroute you if necessary).2 votesYou can find gas stations on around your route and add them as a stop point.

Alert when leaving a motorway - at 300m - Indicate NOW
All motorists, when exiting a motorway, should indicate around the 300m marker - what about getting Waze to tell/advise drivers to do this? Perhaps it would get people indicating better :)
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Group Search area should be user defined.
We try to communicate as group about travel in a remote country in Africa. The Group is created in local country. People traveling to and in the remote country can not join the group or participate.
Group distance should be user defined.

Miles with decimals.
Add decimals to all miles, not just 10 or below. I drive for a living and having more precise distance information would be helpful.
Thank you.1 vote -
Retrospective report submission
The option to retrospectively report an alert for other drivers. Reporting alerts such as collisions, police activity, petrol prices etc can’t and shouldn’t really be done while driving (if driving alone) - but once at a standstill, or at your destination, the option to scroll back down your route and place the alert at the location worth mentioning would be ideal. - the orange button to do so only appears while en-route and your map “centered” using the compass, which takes you away from where you want to report the activity.

Alert pop-up on car screen - add a dismiss
Example: red light camera in x feet
The only options are to say "thanks" or "not there". I just want it to go away so I can see the estimated arrival time. Without this option, there's no way to obtain accurate feedback. I just select one or the other so it goes away without knowing which is accurate.
