Create a "soft warning" for known situations.
For example: A location where speed traps are consistently reported would have a warning in a radius such as "speed traps have been reported here." The color of the warning could fade from red to orange as reports decline or vice versa. There's one street I travel where there's a cop shooting radar 80% of the time. There could be a warning about that regardless of if a Wazer had been through recently.

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement a…

On a feedback there is no ability to report INCORRECT SPEED LIMITATIONS.IE Waze shows 50 KM/hour in a 40 Km/hour area
Need to be able to press the golden diamond and notify speed display incorrect. This could be a permanent road change as on the Esplanade , Lindisfarne Tas. where 50 shows in 40 zone, or temporary restriction for roadworks

Why do you put fixed speed camera allerts when the camera is on the other side of the road or the other street. So annoying
Only have allerts for fixed speed cameras if they can actually get you. Not if they are facing the other way or on the cross street.

Ambulance
Good morning. Thank you for your application. I have a suggestion. I am a paramedic and like many paramedics we use your application to respect speed limits and pay attention to control zones. Would it be possible to add an ambulance vehicle and if possible a quickest route for the ambulances taking into account the size of the ambulances. Thank you in advance for considering my proposal.

Road Condition Rating/Grades
Showing potholes is a great feature especially in snowy climate. It would also be great to rate the road and conditions. Such as a block feature or an avoidance feature. I traveled 20mph on a road label 50mph due to how terrible the conditions was, it felt like I hit a speed bump every 40 yards. I would label this road a "D", if I could avoid these roads like a less than "C" feature, that would be awesome. User ratings paired with GPS acceleration compared to the speed limit could really help avoid these disastrous neglected road and pick…
39 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Work address flips route based on who last use it.
My work location (a University admin building) has couple entrances with same address via two different streets (Main entrance, and 1st floor ramp back street). Apparently, based on what Waze user last entered the building the route flips to the front entrance without warning which results in route via the north or side south of the city (a waste of time in rush hours.) Is there a way to tie the regular destination to a specific Waze users?

Reduce Distance in which School Zones are Merged
Currently, two school zones with 500 m (1640 feet, or about 0.31 miles) will be merged. This can lead to the driver being told they are within a school zone for over 0.5 miles, when they are not. The criterion for merging should be a shorter distance, with no merging if the zones have different speed limits.

Various suggestions taken from other systems
Hello everyone,
after a period where I have been a passenger of friends and colleagues ( due to surgery ) I decided to write down what, in my opinion, can be insights to further improve this navigation system.As a first suggestion ( I copy the idea from AmiGo ) is to make the indication of the speed limit and current speed more intuitive and readable by using colors inside the speedometer. The idea of verbally indicating the speed of speed cameras can also be very helpful.
The second point I would like to suggest ( this time the…

Add traffic camera report option for fixed highway cameras
Had traffic camera report option for stationary highway monitoring cameras. These are not red light cameras and these are not speed traps.

Upcoming driver-based alerts bar below navigation
I would like to request a features which enables the users to show or hide a bar which contains the upcoming X driver-based alerts like hazards, police traps, etc. It could be switched on or off from the settings and its height should be like the "and then navigation". It would show like: Police 200m, Hazard 1.4km. So the user would know the upcoming alerts. It would help to know the polices and hazards in advance, so you don't have to check or scroll while driving. Thanks.

Can we please have a verbal spoken notification for all Speed and Red Light cameras even when not actively navigating?

Restore real-time route tracking
Waze used to provide highly accurate real-time traffic updates. I am requesting that this functionality be restored. Currently, the app seems to calculate travel time based on long-term historical statistics, which might be effective in massive megacities, but in a city of half a million people, the routing is consistently inaccurate.
Last week was a school holiday. Today, the app is clearly relying on statistics from that holiday period rather than the actual real-time traffic conditions. Due to these flawed formulas, a commute that should have taken 35 minutes ended up taking over an hour. Please prioritize real-…1 vote -

Add TIME ELAPSED TRIP to main screen. Sometimes is useful how long it took from A to B.
Add TIME ELAPSED TRIP to main screen. Sometimes is useful how long it took from A to B. also a comparison between initial ETA estimated time arrival and final TIME ELAPSED, and a final report if you were earlier or later xx minutes from original point.

local law icons (like "no-turn-on-red")
I travel a lot for work, and never know basic road rules where I'm at. So I always err on the side of caution. Things like "Can I turn right on a red?", better not.
It would be AWESOME if I could drop a very small little overlay with icons of my choosing for (optional overlay please, with checkboxes if I want this particular feature):
- Right-turn-on-red "green-yes / red-no / grey-unknown"
- Passing-on-right-allowed "<same colors>"
- etc. for other 'odd' little region specific things that I'm sure you'll get 100 suggestionsThey could even be triggered overlays by my …

Routing server timeout on long drives
Since the app seems to consistently time out looking for long drives, I would recommend allowing more back end resources be used for drives over a certain mileage or time. This might require an upgrade based on the high number of users.
Instead of having just one option, I would like to be able to choose between options since there are riskier routes for adding traffic.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue since I can have perfect service on an iPhone 6S and consistently have your servers time out.

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

Is it possible, just like with the tomtom, to get a bar where all the messages such as traffic jams and speed cameras can be seen?
