Traffic alerts
I think I will be a good idea for the app to have traffic alerts. Not just saying traffic reported ahead. Based on the speed limit the app to tell you to slow down because of traffic. It will be extremely useful on highways. For example, a kilometer ahead to display/announce such warning and recommendation to slow down. Therefore, drivers will not have to stop abruptly and accidents might be prevented.

police
After making a report of police, I noticed in my Inbox that it was labeled as "police speed trap." I don't think the app should make that assumption. I report police presence ONLY to promote officer safety. Sometimes large trucks block drivers' view and they may not be able to see there is an officer (or other emergency responder) at the side of the road.

Speedlimit
The display of the currently permitted speed limit is – apart from the brief flash when it changes – ridiculously small. Instead, I see my current speed, which I can also see on the car's own speedometer. Please make this, and the app as a whole, more user-friendly for glasses wearers. The option to adjust the size of the Speed Limit would be perfect. Then I would use Waze regularly.

Improve Gas Price input sanity checking. Use surrounding stations as a guide or verified prices. Errors checking too poor.
Don't accept prices "too far" outside local average. Use verified prices as correct. Build database of known good gas price input users, accept their numbers as correct. I am seeing 25% errors from price listed to pump price in some cases. This should be simple to improve. Maybe give points to first user for input and points to subsequent user when price is verified.

Saving fuel and increase brake pads lifetime
On German highways there are often speed limit changes from unlimited to 130km/h or less. So if I drive for example 200km/h and see the speed limit sign and i go completly off throttle and my car reduces speed to about 180km/h until i reach the sign. So I have to break fast from 180 to 130km/h or less. This is big wear for my brake pads. To get a longer lifetime of my brakes and to get a smoother driving I wish to get a message 1 or to 2km before the speed sign (only on highways when speed…

Allow crucial specifications for everybody
Every truckdriver and caravan driver is desperately waiting for Waze to launch the ability to:
1. Define these type of vehikels
2. Define speed restrictions (like allowed speed 80 or 90 km/hour)
3. Have local weather info om the waze screen
This would expand the use of Waze immensely. Waze would be much more attractive to advertisement AND we would be more than willing to pay for a ‘pro verspin’ with these crucial features!5 votes -
There must new route selection with HOV lanes 2+ or 3+ passengers.The warning of speed cams,redlight cams,hidden police radar cars in Waze
In USA the Waze must update a new route selection when there is congestion earlier.Especially Google Maps works very well to avoid any congestion before arrival that point.There must a new selection for HOV lanes 2+ or 3+ passengers in same car with entries to HOV lanes.The warning must be often for Speed cams,redlight cams,hidden police cars.The most important update for the colors are conflicting about traffic congestion.The userface of map must be update similar vs Google Map.I am glad to have Waze ,but the aim must be a better than previous.thanks
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Eco-drive helper
For eco-drive enthusiasts, you could create a function that shows upcoming speed limits with an adjustable distance. For example, I would like to be informed about speed limits approximately 400 meters in advance, so I can deactivate the cruise control and let the car coast to the correct speed for the upcoming limit. For EVs, this would simultaneously involve regenerative braking, saving me fuel and brake pads. The environment would be cleaner, etc. Adaptive notification would be an advanced solution. It would use the g-sensor to understand my inertia and the speed difference from upcoming speed limits.

Full screen speedometer option on phone
It would be nice to have the option to have a full screen speedometer with speed limits. Motorcycle speedometers can be 10% off, so most of the time I use Waze as a speedometer (with a map), it would be nice if I could tap the speedometer and make it go to full screen big speedometer display, then tap again to return to the map if I need it.
I've tried other GPS just speedometer, but then I lose Waze (And those aren't very accurate like your speedometer is).

Easier reporting
Hi
Firstly, thank you for this amazing app. I've passed on to several friends now.
My question is about reporting everyone's pet hate, Potholes!
Over the past few weeks I've submitted loads of locations while travelling but most of the time doing the average legal speed, by the time its been 'logged' either by tapping the appropriate icons or doing it via voice command, the pothole is then maybe several yards or more, behind me.My concern is that their locations won't always be spot on. Can I assume that when my screen comes alive with someone else's report…

EV charging list filters
It would be perfect to see/sort/filter the charging list with distance (to current position, regardless of added time) availability, and charging speed. When a charger is needed, it should be possible to pick from a couple of closer, available and faster selection.

Eco Bar - Add a bar graph showing how ETA changes if you slow down to help save gas/electricity
I'd like to see how much longer my trip will take if I slow down by a few miles per hour. Most cars will proportionally consume more fuel the faster they go. Knowing how my ETA will be affected will help slow down a few mph which has many benefits beyond fuel savings. (The request to add a "how will my ETA be affected if I speed up" is a different request and probably will be harder to get past the lawyers... I'd be happy with a little bar graph on the side of the map that shows minutes added…

More specific warnings
Can there be an option to report a speed van/camera in Ireland?
Currently speed vans (privately operated) are reported as police which is not accurate but its the closest option however there is a big difference between a parked private speed van and a garda checkpoint/police.Thank you!

Truck drivers distort the measured speeds. If they were treated separately, WAZE would be much more accurate.
It may be that there's no interest in optimizing the app for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as motorhomes, trucks, buses, and the like, but drivers of precisely these vehicles still use Waze because Waze is simply one of the best navigation apps. However, these typically much slower vehicles distort the average speeds of users determined by Waze, so it would certainly make the app much more accurate if users could enter their vehicle data, such as weight and size, so that the data can be assigned accordingly when collecting the returned data. In return, truck drivers would then…

Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)
Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
• Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
• Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
• Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
• Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone…4 votes -
Put the speedometer back to black numberson a white background.
Why can't you people leave a good thing alone. I don't need you to tell me what the speed limit is. Making the display black on red is too hard to read, day or night. I know how fast I'm going. I hate Waze now.

In my convertible I prefer slower roads
I would love the option of driving on slower roads. Think of it as an extension of "avoid highways" but with the option of setting the speed limit that you don't want to exceed and let the excellent navigator that we all love plot the course out of our needs and wants.
I would love to be able to set Waze to calculate routes never exceeding the speed of my choice. Especially when we decide to drive slowly through the landscape in the cabriolet. When you drive with the top of you want slower roads than usual because it's a…4 votesThanks for your feedback.

Matrix signs in the app : The digital traffic signs (matrix signs) are above the motorway. The actual information of these signs can be used

Automatic zoom and popup alert
Scale slider to set automatic zoom scale/speed on map! I would like set zoom level, it is too much sudden!
Popup alert are too big! Many time is very difficult follow the route because alerts cover the map for too much time. An idea can be a banner in a side of the screen! Keep the map on the screen.
My compliments for this amazing app5 votes
