Route planning based on severe weather
Is it possible to add a radar weather layer to the navigation map while driving in real time and suggest alternative routes to avoid severe weather. It would be useful to avoid large snow/ ice storms or hail/ thunder storms.

Add U-Turn and other likely police trap locations to highway maps
Add U-Turn and other likely police trap locations to highway maps. This would be especially useful when traveling rural highways late at night. this information is easily available for each interstate, but I don't know how to layer it onto Waze maps as I drive on these roads.

save lives: hijack hot spot and unsafe or damaged roads
DANGER HOT SPOTS
South Africa is riddled with crime and Waze can literally save hundreds of lives by allowing users to post hot sports at dangerous intersections. Simply being aware of a dangerous intersection will allow people to stop at that light with a safe escape distance. If the intersection gets safer somebody could post as not dangerous anymoreUNSAFE ROADS
Ive had numerous flat tyres from driving over a pothole. Imagine i could post a section of the road as damaged road. Id then be aware that i should be looking out for potholes. In the unlikely occasion that…8 votes -
Electrical Map in Puerto Rico will attract millions users
Adding and Electrical Map, will give Waze a millions of users!
Since Hurricane Maria, hundreds of roads and bridges where destroyed, signs that does not exist anymore, and roads with a mile of holes. Lately it is so dificult to drive on some roads. Specially those without electricuty jet, 7 month later of hurricane Maria.
Letting people tag place without electricity, not only give the driver the alert, but will atract a thousand, even million ppl in the island, to repport their house or street.
Also with a so worldwide use app, will make pressure on local agencies to accelerate…7 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Localized Highway Shields (State & County Routes, etc)
In the U.S., each state has its own highway route number shield. Some states, like West Virginia, also have county route shields that differ from the state route shields. In Pennsylvania, a route like Route 28 would show the Keystone with a 28 on top of it.
A lot of effort is taken in WME to ensure the road names and turn-by-turn instructions match signage. Drivers would benefit by having the same highway shields in their Waze app as they will see on the highway signage as they drive.
Apple has already included this in Apple Maps. It should be…

Disable Speed Limit Warning Beep
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY !!
I almost deleted Waze from my iPhone - instead just disable bluetooth on my phone - which kills hands-free phone which is NOT ACCEPTABLE either
You simply MUST MUST MUST make it possible for the user to DISABLE the DAMM SPEED LIMIT CHIRP
This thing goes off 10 times in a 5-mile local stretch of road, interrupting radio and other media playing on the audio system.
My Escort 360 keeps me well appraised of the limits, as does Waze with the red speed limit circle. Wazers deserve the option to NOT BE OVERLOADED with…3 votes -

Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and…

enable Navigation while AVOIDING "RED ROADS"(roads defined as such by authorities/NGO's). Red Road = higher probability for an accident.
Nation wide, the safety level of road infrastructure reflects budget constarints, professional considerations-mistakes etc.
Government as well as NGO's e.g. Or Yarok(Israel) monitor accident rates(as well as severty) per LOCATION.....
Thus it is possible to rate certain roads/junctions as RED - being more dangerous, based on hard statistics.
Most of the drivers are NOT aware of above(i.e. that they can drive to their destination with significantly lower accident risk) and would probably be happy not to RISK their families and hence chose an alternative, safer road.
Regardless of the fact that it would require longer driving.Such measure would lead…

Waze is the best driving ap. One problem is that Waze will say that a street it 250 feet away, but it is much closer. So, if I pay attention
Waze is the best driving app. One problem is that Waze will say that a street is 250 feet away, but it's wrong. The street is much closer. I've missed many turns because I went by Waze's foot count. This happens all the time. So now I look for the street, rather than pay attention to Waze's number, which is a little more work. Please figure out how to make Waze more precise so that it correctly tells how many feet away a street is.

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,…

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out.…
