Your algorithm that reports duplicate reports is wrong. It assumes that the LAST located report is the real thing and prior nearby reports are duplicates. This is incorrect. You should assume that reports are NOT duplicates at all. Let me give an exact case. On the highway n12/n3 intersection on the corner of woodmead (suburb) in Johannesburg RSA, starting at -26.047675193550557, 28.093193441959258 and ending at -26.03960699164605, 28.067755371505946, on the date 31 Nov 2021 at around 4pm, there were THREE stopped vehicles at the roadside. Your system recorded them as THREE REPORTS at the LAST location, rather than three separate…

It's complain not suggestion
Although I adore the app, many local updates—particularly those regarding speed bumps and road closures—are absent.
When I attempted to assist with map updating, your editor volunteer sent me a message with instructions, which are
not feasible to complete using Android Auto or
driving a vehicle. In addition, the message he sent
gave me a boyish feeling.
annoying the head of the school with his incorrect
responses and unawareness,
so I won't use
the reporting feature once more, and if I discover another way to find speed bump and speed camera locations, I might quit using the app altogether.…1 vote -
Have more categories for landmarks.
One example is Golf Course (and it would be great if it is shows up as green on the maps)
Another is Construction Zone. Users can identify construction zone in the map editor to warn other user (especially those who are not familiar to the area) of potential heavy vehicles entering and exiting the construction site (a more permanent thing instead of having to report it daily)

Take a trip with friends/follow me function
Problem: when my friends and I take a trip with more than 1 car, it is difficult to keep both cars on the same route and with the same stops.
Potential solution: the abality to send a link that would sync up our drives to be able to see where they are on the route in real time. If the future route changes, the device that did not initiate the change would be able to accept the change. If either car gets off the shared route, a notification would be sent to both users and the user who is behind…

editor level
I recently got to Level 2 Editor and contributed a lot in my region. My region is large and population is spread out across the province of New Brunswick. a lot of roads are for level 3 and up editors, but for me to gain 25000 points to move to level 3 is almost impossible. Wish there was a way to that a person could gain higher access via referral and be underneath another higher editor that could monitor my work, This would be more profitable for the app to be developed faster and get serious editors involved.

Speed alarm incorporated or information to be incorporated to automated driving system
I would like to see in my life smart cities where the limit speed is set by Waze users in order to get less acidents and preserve life. Cities will have antenas to spread the real speed limit to automated pilot or driver assistance on the vehicles controling the upper limit of velocity.

Turn Signal on Arrow icon
Most drivers in my countries do not have the habit or using turn signal on their vehicles before turning. I suggest adding blinking turn signal lights on the arrow icon in the app just before a turn to remind drivers to use their actual turn signal.

Avoid low emissions zones button
An avoid low emissions zones button would be helpful for the drivers of pre 2016 non euro 6 diesel vehicles.
I intend to visit Edinburgh and Dundee in the summer both of which have low emissions zones. For me Birmingham and Bristol low emissions zones also need to be avoided.3 votes -
Improve vertical UI on iPhone
Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical mode.

When adding a hazzard, at what point in the process does the map "fix" the location? When I click on "Hazard"? When I click on "Shoulder"?

Hazzard confirmation UI
While driving it's very hard to use the Yes/No buttons, while paying attention to the road and hazzard that was just announced. I would suggest a large control with swipe left/right, that is easy to use without looking at the phone screen for long, and without trying to be very precise with your fingers on the screen. You could still split it in two areas, so a click on the left or right still work as Yes/No, just to avoid annoying users that are accustomed with the current UI. As it is now, I only use those buttons when I'm…

Events should have more control over closures
Since events don't always start on time and rarly end on time, there should be an easier way to update all closures:
A. After defining the dates & times of an event, all closures will inharit it name and times. This will save most of the work handling a large event.
B. Closures who are part of an event will not get deleted when their time is up, but will stay "inactive" for at least a week.
C. Updating the times of an event will update the times of all closures who's time had been inharited from it (e.g. have…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Hi..I love using WAZE...I use it exclusively over my cars navigation system. My suggestion is for more reporting icons. We have policether v
How about a police icon on the move? Only have visible or not. Also, another icon for other emergency vehicles such as Ambulances or fire vehicles. Would really help to have them. Thanks!

Android Auto/ Waze 4.91 70.705
With this update when opening waze in Android auto, most times the map opens and its extremely zoomed put making my icons the size of my screen and the speed indicator extremely large. Disconnect and reconnect and it fixes itself to standard resolution. This only happens on waze when connected to AA. Bug issues??
Also, I used to be able to use Google assistant on phone or car to say a destination of address to navigate to, and it would give me options for search results. But now it doesn't do anything and I have to stop the car…

Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Subject: Marketing Idea: Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Dear Waze Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to share a fun and engaging marketing idea that I believe could greatly benefit both Waze and its community of users: offering Wazers their custom Waze icon as a physical bumper sticker.
The Concept:
Many of us take pride in our custom Waze icons, whether it's the default icon or one we’ve chosen to reflect our personality on the road. My suggestion is to send Wazers a free bumper sticker featuring their custom Waze icon, which they can…4 votes -
Setting fuel types at gas stations
It is essential to be able to set fuel types at gas stations. So, for example, at a number of gas stations there are 3 types of fuel, at others 4. At gas gas stations there is only 1 type of fuel and showing others means confusing users when entering prices.
The indication of charging types for electric vehicles is wonderfully done. It would be great to implement this idea for regular gas stations.3 votes -
For motorcyclists using your services
To Whom it May Concern,
For motorcyclists using your services,
I highly recommend 2 alternative routes specifically planned for motorcyclists
1. In the situation for regular traffic do not change the recommended route. After all, we do now wait in line like regular vehicles.
2. In the case of heavy traffic, let the user choose whether to use the normal route or an alternative way. After all, though the ride in traffic is faster on a motorcycle than the ride in a 4 wheel car, it still requires the motorcyclist to slow down and be careful
Homework:1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Fix Fundamental Flaws Please
It seems as though WAZE has a 3 fundamental flaws:
1) Sometimes, I open it simply to see if there is traffic congestion but don’t need directions. Even so, the lovely, very helpful lady doesn’t seem top realize I don’t want direction and speaks to me.
2) Even when I press the red ‘stop’ button the lady continues to talk to me. (Both of these situations are extremely frustrating, can be dangerous if I want to stop her talking while I’m driving!)
3) Please, pretty-pretty please, display a large STOP icon at all times so it’s easier to shut the…

Suggested improvements to display
UConnect system is installed in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don't use it due to the cost of upgrading the map. But, I do like some of its features that would greatly benefit Waze. I have screen shots available if needed but don't see a way to add to this post.

- Show highway signs on map that exactly match the highway road signs (image wise) when exiting, merging, etc. EXTREMELY helpful in large cities and enhances road lane guidance

Partnering with Uber or Lyft or both
When a customer on the road, had a problem with the transportation, can provide immediate help.
How:
If any customer on the move and unexpected stop for more than 1 or 2 min on any road side (not in any parking lot, …), we can ask them, if they need any help like “Car Problem? Need a help with?”
Choices can be “Need a Ride” “Inform Police/Medical” (optional)
“Vehicle Problem” (another option to expand the business with AAA or local services)
This can be added a default service and choice should be given to customer not to, under notifications.…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
