Incident/slowdown on map view when selecting route
About a year ago, when using the map view to select a route on the Android app, you were able to see traffic slowdowns. This was super helpful when trying to decide which route to use. Currently, when you view the list, it shows traffic speeds by color and incidents/hazards/police, but there is no way to know exactly where the accident or slowdown is located. If you look at the map view, the proposed route is all one color, and doesn't show slowdowns or incidents.
It would be great to at least see the orange, yellow, and red colors for …

Fake Police Reports
If you have less than a 50% accuracy with your police reports you should get banned.
Also, you should not be able to place multiple police within a couple of miles of each other.
The state police in NJ and IL are causing more traffic and accidents because they are putting in false reports and setting up a speed trap a mile down the road. People are varying the speeds and it is a nightmare to drive with.
If this is not fixed I will find another GPS alternative.

Speed camera toggle
Please give us a avoid speed camera reroute toggle similar to toll ways. Seems like your app keeps routing us into cameras by default. These are bad unhealthy unsafe driving conditions in high traffic areas that I would prefer to avoid and go around.

‘Zoom in to issue’ from route overview
The ‘route overview/timeline’ is good but it doesn't let you understand what the issues on your route are in any detail just has the logos eg 3 traffic, a broken down car and police
Can I click on the issues to quickly zoom to an overview of that area so I know where those police are, what kinda traffic disruption it is.
Sometimes these are normal eg the traffic at those temp lights. Other times it could be I big deal eg the beginnings of an unplanned closure and diversion.
Currently if planing a long drive I would…

Overlay mode: button for reports, pop-up notifications enroute.
An overlay mode would be beneficial to drivers, passengers and Waze itself. It'll allow Waze to collect traffic information in the background, allow drivers to leave their phones any where in the car and make reports quickly. Allow passengers to use their phones normally and make reports quickly.
It should be easy to make reports, and should have a translucent pop-up when there are reports/speed cameras/red light cameras enroute.
I know if Waze had this option I'd leave Waze on as a passenger and those times I can't be bother mounting my phone or leave the screen on.

Improve carplay layout
Alerts 500m before the event is to early in big cities with traffic. On the carplay when there is a alert the ETA does not appear. So in big cities with frequent alerts i never see ETA. My suggestion is change layout and keep ETA on the screen when alerts are on. Tks.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may…

Report two different things with one event report
Example of what I mean: Last week I reported an accident on the highway, but because I moved while reporting it I could not also report an object on the road, what has happen is, a car crashed on the light post and it then ended up on the highway's right lane.

Add Shazam to the Waze app
I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?
Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and…

Use traffic data to know when a toll road is open
Waze currently thinks Toll Roads are open at certain times (e.g., northbound open from 5:00-11:00; southbound open from 12:00-20:00). In reality, they open/close at non-set times. However, it was would be easy for it to detect Waze users traveling on a toll road and adjust accordingly

I would love to see the ability to plot a holiday lights display on the map.
I'd like o be able to plot the great holiday lights displays in my area so I can tell other Wazers about them. Additionally one could have Waze plot a lights tour path to follow.

Instead of "turn left in X feet", how about just saying something more like "take the next left"
Instead of focusing directions on distance when approaching a turn, treat the turns more like your roundabout directions. It's more natural to give directions such as: "take the next right" or "go left at the light" rather than "turn in 500 feet" or go right on Main Street (especially if the street sign isn't easiy to see).

Accident icon
Accident icon is not easily recognizable in version 3.6 specially while you are driving and only take a glance in the phone's screen. New icon is pretty similar to traffic jam reports. I think it could be redesigned as a overturned car, or adopt the design used in older versions.

Single Lane with/without passing places
In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.
Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.
I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option of…

Route info for drivers eligible for the Commute (HOV) lane.
When giving route info do you take into consideration wether commuters are eligible to use the commute (HOV) lane. Some commute lanes require 2 or 3 persons per vehicle. We were traveling form Palm Springs to Redwood City, California, and were diverted to an alternate route because of traffic conditions. We were not sure if the commute lanes
were also full.4 votesThank 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.

terrorist alert
recently people were injured in tel aviv, israel when a terrorist stabbed then as they waited in a traffic jam. waze should have an alert system to notify travelers of terrorist activity in a close vicinity. this could save lives.
