   Great news! The share drive feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

2. Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event

   Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.

   Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed spectacularly.

   The suggestion I have is to look at an event like the Puget Sound I-5 incident on 12/18 and learn how to better route that much traffic. There is a way to assign cars different routes to best distribute the load instead of directing people to a route that is good now, but because a thousand cars are now on a small farm road, you've created a worse mess.

   Waze kept digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole. The other issue is that there was an actual emergency alert that came across about "severe traffic delays". I hope Waze is tied into the emergency alert system so that it can incorporate those alerts into the app.

   This wasn't an emergency like an earthquake, fire or lahar, but Waze can serve an important function in situations like this if it did a better job of looking ahead into an unknown situation and making additional recommendations besides "the best route".

   Predictive modeling of how many cars Waze is routing onto small roads could better anticipate how small roads fill and how they "drain" when there is a major, unforeseen traffic event.

3. Route Preview Option

   You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

4. Safety Hazard

   It is against the law in Texas to text and drive or even read texts while driving. The suggestions popping up on Waze are as distracting as if receving a text. Not very good for safety.

5. Having the option to disregard traffic when driving a bike as traffic has no impact on a bike

   Dear Team at Waze,

   I am a great supporter of your app. Thank you !

   Actually I drive my motorbike more than my car and I love using Waze in both cases.

   However, I suggest you set a function we can use when driving a bike because, as you may konw, in France, bikes are used to avoid traffic.
   Therefore, traffic has no incidence on time and should not have any incidence on the recomended itinerary.

   Or maybe simply put a button saying « disregard traffic jams »

   I can see many bikers in Paris using Waze, I am sure, they would love this too. And save gas !

   I hope this is feasible ?

   Kind regards and thanks again

   Henri

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

6. Autodetect closures and closed roads

   Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.

   Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed road, even though Google Maps already shows the road closed and routes Google Maps users around the closure.

7. Regular commute notification

   Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.

   Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from home to work, our phone should know it. Most of all, if there is traffic or road work on our way, waze should ring an alarm to wake you up earlier or to prevent getting in this traffic.

   Most days our driving time is about the same, so you do not have to check your navigation app every morning or every night. Our phone should only alert us when something unusual happens that would prevent us being on time.

8. Why can we no longer use waze on 2 devices simultaneously

   Wished Waze had made that info about this change ( ie being unable to use waze simultaneously on 2 devices) available to users upfront. That’s a big change & I wasted a lot of time on a very long drive to try & get waze to work the way I’ve come to expect.
   I have waze open on two devices ( iPhone & iPad) that have different cellular carriers, whenever I go on longer drives (2 hrs or more) since waze’s network connections are always spotty. This has been my work around & provides continuous coverage & also allows me to continue to view the map even if I’m on the phone.

   This new change makes waze less usable as I no longer have confidence that I actually have network coverage & am getting the most up to date info regarding police locations. Also given all the rerouting issues & other glitches that I have to constantly deal with in regards to waze on a drive I guess I’ll get a radar detector & use a traditional map/routing service.

   I have been a very longtime user & am an active poster RE traffic & road conditions. I hope you reconsider & restore the ability of users to at least use 2 different devices.

9. Don't send me driving into a fire zone in San Francisco.

   Driving around SF last Tuesday morning. Used Waze and was directed into an area where there was a huge fire which had been ongoing for a few hours.

   And later that afternoon (7-hours later) it directed me again to the area still closed by that very fire.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

11. record a certain path and use later.

    I use almost every day the same path to work, but it does not appear in waze because it is a combination of various paths. it was very useful to be able to record my way and know the transit of it before starting to drive.

12. Speed limit alert

    Hey Waze

    I have a proposal that I think would help with traffic safety. You have already created a speed alert. The problem today is that it only gives an alarm once in a speed zone. To get a new alarm, you need to enter a new speed zone. I thought it might be a good idea to make it possible for you to choose to get an alarm as long as you drive too fast, and that you can choose the alarm tone and volume. In android auto, the speedometer is placed on the right side of the screen, i.e. furthest from the driver when you turn to the left side. I wish you could decide for yourself whether you want the speedometer on the right or left side of the screen

13. A way to report Gas Stations or EV Stations that are out of service or out of gas

    Normally during storms, people will stock up on gasoline and stores may run out of gas to sell. Having a feature that allows users to report when gas stations are out of gas or EV stations are out of service on the Waze app would be incredibly useful for drivers. Not only would it save time and frustration by allowing drivers to avoid gas stations that are out of service, but it could also help promote safer driving practices. For instance, if a driver is low on gas and there are no nearby gas stations with available fuel, they may be more likely to speed or drive recklessly in an attempt to reach a gas station further away. By providing real-time information about gas station availability, drivers can make informed decisions about their driving habits, ultimately leading to a safer and more efficient driving experience. This addition could save drivers precious time and prevent frustrating detours by providing real-time information on the availability of essential resources. For traditional vehicles, knowing in advance which gas stations are depleted can prevent unnecessary stops and help drivers plan their refueling more strategically. Similarly, for EV owners, having accurate data on functional charging stations is pivotal to ensuring seamless journeys and alleviating range anxiety. Waze could further create a dynamic network where drivers actively contribute to more accurate and reliable data.

    I hope this idea comes to fruition or at least taken into consideration, and/or others like the idea to make it real.

14. select trailer or caravan

    Driving through 6 different countries from Netherlands to Italy with my trailer. You sometimes forget what the legal speed limits are in each country. It would be great to be able to select a car-trailer combination. also because the travel time is very different if you compair this with a single car.

15. Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!

    Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...

    But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads and if they have biking lanes before you make the trip to plan your navigation.

    You should have the setting to make your vehile a bike and find bike routes, and to calculate how much time a trip will take you just have to ask the bicyclist to input their average biking speed and make your route estimates like that. Then through tracking their speed when you give them navigates your estimates can become even more accurate.

    It shouldn't just be for driving navigation but also for people who have to bike places and still need to find the fastest routes avoiding cops and traffic and all the other benefits that drivers have and bikers don't because the app can't calculate routes for us unless you please make an update taking my suggestions!!

16. Turn Signal about 200 feet sooner. 350 Feet Perfect!!

    I was using Waze and I was having issues with the turn signal at 150 ft. I was missing turns. I drive for Uber. Please give me another 200 feet like google. 350 feet is perfect I'm not distracted by watching the Waze GPS.
    At 350 feet I know it's time to slow down and put my blinker on. Now Waze gives the signal to turn at 150 feet I have to put my blinker on and turn immediately. I've missed a few turns. I feel it is unsafe when driving at Rush Hour or through crowded areas like Jersey City.
    Please give us the 350 feet and I know they're other people out there would agree. 150 feet is unsafe. Please help and make the change.

18. Spotify voice commands

    It's very dangerous that someone has access to Spotify when driving with Waze but can't use voice commands to interact with it. By not implemening voice command compatibility with Spotify, Waze makes it dangerous for drivers to control their music. Compare that to Android auto, which does let you use voice commands to control your music.

19. 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".
