Change 'Return' key to add line break, not 'Enter' when editing Places info
When editing Place info in the app (any version), currently Android does 'Enter' with the Return key,
I need to be able to add line breaks in the 'Details - About' box for data clarity, e.g. daily sub-department hours that are different from the main ones already listed.
Would be most helpful to to change the Return key response to instead add line breaks for just that box or even other sections. The Done key already takes care of accepting the edit. This behavior already applies to the WME.

Present chances of delays / early arrival
Ill try to explain it by steps:
Entered my destination and started on navigating.
I know that the ETA is not accurate as there is a high probability to be delayed!
This very important information isn't written anywhere, so i have to take it into account.
I'm taking the same route every morning, having me adding about 30 mins to the ETA that WAZE shows.
Can I have WAZE presenting the probability (percentage) of delays and how long it will be?
This information can be calculated based on historical data, live data and reappearance (which is everyday).Please don't show me an ETA of 1hr while I an being delayed every time in about 20-30 mins.
Ill be happy to explain more.
Keep up the 99% good work :)

New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa
BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.
It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.
Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.
“It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody wrong way on the highway. Just recently, again last week, had another wrong way driver on (Interstate) 43,” says Sandberg.
So when he saw a story we aired recently about message boards in Milwaukee County alerting people about wrong way drivers, he set to work to make it possible here.
A few phone calls and one meeting later, the new alert system was activated last Thursday.
Four days later, it was already put to use for an elderly driver going the wrong way on I-43.
“It could take the officers, depending on where they are, anywhere from a couple minutes to five minutes to 10 minutes to get in that area, and that’s extra time we can warn whoever’s driving on that highway,” says Sandberg.
“And that way people can be paying attention to it, because if you’ve got two vehicles at speeds of 70-75 miles an hour towards each other, you don’t have much time to react.”
Here’s what happens: The 911 call comes into the Brown County Communications Center. Deputies are dispatched, and immediately dispatchers then call the State Traffic Operations Center in Milwaukee, which controls DOT message boards and cameras.With the punch of a few buttons, an alert reading “wrong way driver reported: use caution” will appear on message boards on the roads where the driver was last seen.
“If you see a sign come up, what you need to do is start paying attention to every car that’s coming in the opposite direction of you to ensure that vehicle is actually on the correct side of the roadway,” advises Sandberg.
He says most wrong way drivers are in the left lane, thinking they’re on a two lane road, so if you see one, stay to the right and call 911.
Sandberg says, currently, alerts can broadcast on message boards on Highways 172 and 29 and Interstates 43 and 41, where he says the majority of wrong way drivers are reported.
But this is not just happening in Brown County. Sandberg says the Department of Transportation is working to expand the system to Outagamie and Winnebago Counties, too.

share destination via api
An API so that when you enter a destination into Waze, then Waze can inform other web services (such as IFTTT) to use this. For example, Nest (also part of Google) has an API that includes telling it when you will get home to it can preset the heating.

Make Wazers Near You work everywhere
When starting Waze, you see "xxx Wazers near you"...but only if you are in a defined NYN polygon.
I would like it to work if you are outside these polygons, possibly by determining the number of Wazers within N km.2 votes -
STOP THE TRAIN button
Besides the great idea for navigating around blocked crossings, how about when YOU are stuck on the RR and you can't get off? Press the STOP THE TRAIN (button within WAZE, or a stand alone app). A message is sent off to DOT.GOV and the RR. Hopefully the RR operation center can get the the signal changed withing a few minutes. I am making a suggestion to them at rrswebinquiries@dot.gov so they could develop this app and the needed database of locations codes by position.
BY THE TIME A TRAIN SEES A PROBLEM, THE TRAIN CANNOT STOP.

Add a "turning" camera in addition to red light and speeding cameras.
Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY has at least two cameras to ticket drivers that make a turn where there is a "no left turn" sign. Perhaps waze can add an option for such cameras.

temporary places
I've seen a number of places meant to be temporary. For example "Jones-Smith Wedding" or "Start of xxx Bike Race." Having those is probably helpful both to participants and also helps advertise Waze. All that would be needed is a new category and an expiration date.
There is already a suggestion for "ad hoc" places but I don't think the name quite conveys the idea.
