Road number 90, Israel
Dear waze technicalsupport,
I would like to report some kind of a bug.
Yesturday my friendsdrove from the dead sea to the north of Israel (krayot).
Waze was directing them through road number 90.
In the middle of the way, they got into a very dengerous place, inside the palestinian authority with no way to pass, but going inside it.
At the end, they even went through a barrier.
They even checked the options, and did marked "avoid high risk areas".Please try and check it.

Trip price calculation
The viamichelin.com route calculator gives you quite an accurate prediction of the trip price based on a few factors.
- Vehicle average consumption data (by vehicle type, mpg or l/100km).
- Distance.
- Average fuel price.
- Tolls (data publicly available, should be added to Waze).
I believe it would be very useful.

Crossing major intersections
Los Angeles - When crossing major streets such as Sunset Blvd, Wilshire Blvd or La Cienega Blvd, please guide us to an intersection protected by a traffic signal. While the smaller streets are great for avoiding traffic, once we reach a major thoroughfare, we simply can't get across without a green light! Thanks, Waze!

a short notice (late notice) to change a lane
Over the years that I've been using Waze, I've encountered a disturbing and annoying problem of short notice (late notice) to change a lane in order to turn. in this situation I'm forced to rudely push into the required lane or give up the turn and go back and try again

Location Correction/Change/Adjustment
It would be very nice to have the ability to correct or change the road we are driving on. If at any point we deviate from a GPS route (exit the highway early or late, enter an HOV lane, get or stay on an express road), we need to have the ability to adjust our location on the map so the route can update.
How to achieve this:
I'm thinking we could select our vehicle on the map (currently, this pulls up our "current location"), then - select an option to "adjust route" (call it whatever you want), this would…2 votes -
Bus land alert for london UK and street restrictions of timings
Waze need to show when ever rider is about to reach bus lane or on a roade where bus lane is there , remind to avoid being in the bus lane.
It would be very helpful if shows restrictions before entering any street like .. 7 to 9 am we cannot enter like this . It would really impact a lot on driver skills.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

Object on road warning often delayed resulting in warning too late to be effective
The timing of object on road needs to be changed for better pinpointing location. More often than not, you are reporting while you are right on top of the situation. Traffic maybe darting around it, and do not have the benefit of seeing it early like vehicles on the side of the road because it's obscured by other vehicles in travel lanes. This causes the reported location to be late and less accurate to its actual location. This results limited effectiveness of a very important tool.

Change Dangerous Direction Given by Waze
Near Brandon Florida a direction is given to take Dali Drive to reach Bloomingdale Avenue. If directions are followed and one is turning left, one is forced to cross 4 lanes with very poor visibility! If the app instead directed one to drive just 1 block further instead, the left turn can be made safely with the traffic signal.

Blocked Lane achievement points for reports and likes
The Blocked Lane report is a terrific addition to reports. However, Waze users do not get any credit in Achievements for seen or likes as they do on other reports. This disincentivizes users from using the feature. I hope Waze will allow users to collect points for reporting a blocked lane as they do on all other reports.

Expand the Construction Warning
Expand the "Construction" tab to include multiple options to accurately warn drivers. For example:
- Flag Person
- Temporary Signal
- Left/Right/Center Lane Closed
- Lane Shift/Detour
- Pavement Ends
The biggest one for me is the lane closures, because I want to know which lane is blocked/closed ahead before I get to the situation. Just marking "construction" offers me no insight and just keeps me on high alert.

Suggestion on reporting police traps.
Many people incorrectly report police traps when on a major highway and there is a substantial divide between north and south lanes (woods or grass). An example is I am heading south and see a police vehicle hidden in the woods looking at northbound traffic. I have now way to select other side and hidden together. So people select hidden but it shows up to southbound traffic when in fact it should warn northbound traffic.
A few more choices/selections/modifiers in all categories would help pin dow types and location of issues.
I would love to be part of a Beta…3 votes -
Add Hazard for Vehicles Stopped in the Lane
I have a feature suggestion that could improve road safety and the accuracy of hazard reporting. Currently, Waze allows users to report vehicles stopped on the shoulder, but there is no option to report vehicles stopped directly in the driving lane.
Such situations pose a significant danger to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. Adding a hazard category specifically for "Vehicle stopped in lane" would help alert drivers more effectively and enhance safety for everyone on the road.

Option to automatically disable WiFi
When transitioning from WiFi to 3G or vice versa, Waze often loses a connection and becomes useless, requiring us to restart the app. I imagine this would be a problem for anyone who drives by a wireless network that they use often (home, work, school, etc.) This could be avoided by giving the user the option to automatically disable WiFi connections within Waze. This option would prevent users from having to disable WiFi before starting Waze every time.
40 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.
