Warn about slowing traffic ahead
Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.
When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

Speed Bump Permanent Hazard Notifications Persistence
The notifications for speed bump style permanent hazards should not stay on screen, once the driver has already driven past it. It does not add any meaningful information to the drive and only acts as a distraction or blocks part of the screen.

Driving lane information
It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane

History
Allow users to enter historic data, so while driving by a landmark historic information or links to historic information could come up. There's an untapped gold mine of local information that could highlight an otherwise hum drum drive. Ex: On this site the KKK used to hold their local meetings, or the dirt road leading off to your left was the site of the original post road, or the run down buildings on the side of the road were once Stage Coach inns, circa 1865, etc.

Top speed
Add a customizable user chosen top speed for calculating the optimal route.
It doesn't help me much if the routjng algorithm opts for freeways where I can go unlimited but drive a detour when I can't or don't want to drive these speeds1 vote -
POI route / info
provide switch for "tourist mode" - while you are driving to destination, provide limited notification of POI in the area (on your right is the Eiffel tower, built in 1887). "tourist mode" can allow for categories for selection (history, culture, etc). linked to this is the ability to select a POI route in your area (just go for a drive to the POIs in your area).

Police report improvement
Hello! I have an idea to improve police report, because it is one of most important part. Please put the quick police button (one-click report) on the main screen, when are "my place" button and NORTH-place. This button also may be hidden as others. In practise - one click on screen, buttons appears and click police. It will be less dangerous to report while driving. Thank you in advance.

Max speed trip estimate
I drive an road e-bike, which has a max speed of 32kmh due to legal restrictions in Ontario. It would be great if we could specify a max vehicle speed and Waze could take that into account when estimating how long it will take to arrive at a destination.

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

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…6 votes -

Weather Icons instead of Hazard Icons on Map
Weather reports show up as Hazard icons. While it does say what the weather condition is below, it is not easy to read if you are driving in bad weather. It would be nice to see weather icons reported by other Waze users.

Avoid a specific road
I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.
For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/can_i_stop_waze_from_rerouting_or_select_a/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when driving through…

Waze widget
Today for the firsrt time i installed the waze widget. I liked but it seemed very simple. I think that the ETA shown was if I took TOLL roads bit when I touched "Drive" it took me to the non-TOLL road (which was the one I wanted but then the ETA was much longer) So I had one Idea but I need to show it. How can attach a picture to this post? But in other words it would nice to have the ETAs for TOLL roads and non-TOLL roads. Let me know if i can send a…

Tagging the lane of an accident
It would be nice for users to have the ability to tag what lane(s) an accident is in when they report an accident. Often users add this information in comments, but that takes time and becomes hazardous to look through as you're driving.

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.

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

Leave early for calendar event
Calendar integration for planned drives is cool and I use it a lot — it would be even better if I could specify that I want to aim to arrive to an event X minutes early without having to set up a separate planned drive.
