Police Notification Radius
When approaching a Police trap, I love the ability to be able to say if they are still there or not. Would like the ability to select if they are there or not for half of a mile or so after passing the original location. In my area, sometimes police will pull someone over, travel up the road a little, and resume their speed monitoring duties.

Police on East Coast using Waze?
My friends and I, spread out in a few states on the east coast have noticed the police are using waze and Untagging themselves at the location of speed traps. This actually has been confirmed by an officer in Central New Jersey. Since many Waze users use the app for the police notifications I suggest in order to remove a police notification 2-3 DIFFERENT waze users must hit "not there"... I would seriously consider adding this sooner than later, maybe in the next update
Thanks for the great app

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

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 -
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".

Please consider updating the Waze app so that speed cameras remain visible on the map at all times, even when the driver exceeds the +20 km/
Please consider updating the Waze app so that speed cameras remain visible on the map at all times, even when the driver exceeds the +20 km/h grace limit in Dubai.
Recently, the cameras disappear above the limit and only reappear about 500 meters before, which wasn’t the case earlier and can be stressful for drivers.

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 manoeuvre24 votes -
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…

UK Railway Network LOW Bridges Add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach
UK Railway Networks has 100s of LOW Bridges across UK. Please add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach and give drivers an option to AVOID low bridges. i.e. ask height of vehicle and suggest alternative routes avoiding low bridges. I am happy to help to source a list of all Low Bridges on UK Rail Network.
Every year in Britain there are about 2,000 bridge strikes, where road vehicles hit railway bridges and viaducts – that's an average of more than five every day. Each incident can cause hours of delays for tens of thousands of rail passengers – and…
