Change the colors when speeding
The dark red on dark gray is difficult to read when speeding. I needed to use Waze as a speedometer while in Canada (KPH not MPH). And it was often difficult to read the speed.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…280 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Speedometer metrics
The speedometer should have an ability to change between mi or km. Let's say someone prefers km for navigation but the country they live in has speed limits in mi. by changing the overall metric, both navigation and speedometer is affected..

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.

Choose time of reports before calculates the route
The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

Ambulance
Good morning. Thank you for your application. I have a suggestion. I am a paramedic and like many paramedics we use your application to respect speed limits and pay attention to control zones. Would it be possible to add an ambulance vehicle and if possible a quickest route for the ambulances taking into account the size of the ambulances. Thank you in advance for considering my proposal.

Idea to improve destination time accuracy
your start time with delays to destination time changes as you travel due to new incidents along the way. For people using waze for mainly work and back everyday it would be great if you could record the destination time when you first switch on waze and then record the actual destination time when you arrive. use this as an average over a few weeks to give the user a more accurate time to reach destination

Add "Residential Street" as an Additional Road Type
There tend to be situations in which neighborhoods and suburban communities have systems of roads such that there are a few feeder roads that are intended to serve a network of smaller residential streets. In the current state of the map editor, it can be difficult to map such areas so that traffic is generally directed along the streets with higher speed limits and fewer driveways. Usage of the prioritizing functions and setting certain segments as private roads helps a bit to alleviate this problem. I am suggesting a new idea.

Multiple SpeedLimit
Currently, Speed limit alerts merely with a "beep" sound.
1st, I suggest to make it possible to select our favorite sound from internal memory for any limit excession,
2nd, let us adjust more than one limit; for example exactly in speed limit and when the speed reaches to +10km/h more than limit.1 vote -

Switch Moto/Car mode based on bluetooth setup
I use Waze with my car and my scooter and often I forgot to switch on moto mode and it is hard to switch when I wear my glove. It would be great to be able to switch automatically the mode based on my bluetooth setup or at least have an api to do this with tasker.
Thanks a lot1 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.

Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts
Description:
Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll booths, sharp curves, forks, merging, complex intersections) under one setting. This means users can only turn them all on or off.
Many drivers would like finer control. For example, speed bump alerts are often unnecessary or distracting, while alerts for toll booths or sharp curves are very useful.
Please allow users to selectively enable or disable each type of permanent road feature alert. This customization would improve the driving experience without losing important safety information.1 vote -
Advanced config options: GPS reboot cycle time
Some phones need quite some time, after powering the GPS system on and off, to get a lock. It seems to me that waze, after not detecting a GPS lock after X seconds, power-cycles the GPS subsystem.
It would be great (and very easy to add?) if there were some advanced config option to configure this behaviour, and select after how much time waze power-cycles the GPS system.2 votes -
