Use a voice command to ask from driver for traffic
The most important report in Waze is traffic
Create a voice command to ask from driver who drive slower than allowed speed (for example half) that "is traffic in this Ave heavy" and driver answer "yes" or "no" easily3 votes -
Warning notification
Can you please move the box that appears to warn you of a speed trap so it doesn't obscure the speed your driving at/speed limit indicator. Or move the speed indicators to the top right hand area of the display. Thanks!

Allow "Map Problem" UR reporting using the 'Talk to report' feature to assist user to leave a UR while driving.
Currently the 'Talk to report' feature allows for reporting road hazards but does not allow for reporting 'Map Problems' such as 'incorrect speed limit' or 'no u-turn allowed.'
As a volunteer map editor, if I could tap the report button and say, "Drop UR here for ... " to open a UR with the UR type listed as 'Voice report' and the UR comment pre-filled with the voice to text input from the report, then I would be able to fix 90% more of the map problems that I notice while driving every day.11 votes -
Show Speedometer outside Path Navigation
Without the need to define a path, having the option to show the Speedometer outside a Navigation Session would be useful just to show the speed of the current user, either on a car, motorcycle, on foot, etc.
This, with the addition of a full-screen Speedometer, would be even great.
2 votesGreat news! This functionality is already available in Waze. Via Speedometer settings you’re able to set speedometer and/or current speed limit to be always displayed in app – even in free drive mode.

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

Speedometer colors
I’d like to see the ability to change the speedometer numeral and background colors, especially when over the speed limit. Red numerals on a black background are difficult for me to read.

Waze sometimes finds destinations in other countries.
I live in Canada and I've gotten routes to England and the western United States. Please allow setting a maximum distance or zones around where a driver is.

Display speeds higher than 234km/h.
GPS devices are allowed in passenger aircraft, and work fine with offline maps.
It seems, though, that the speed indication doesn't go above 234km/h.
Airplanes easily exceed this.
Yes I know the primary use is for driving, but sometimes it is nice to use other ways.

Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)
Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
• Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
• Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
• Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
• Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone…3 votes -

fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.4 votes -
Remove "Missing Overpass" map error report category.
That vast majority (all but maybe 1 or 2, in all the time I have been editing) of reports for "Missing Overpass" have been for overpasses that exist on the map, but are invisible at highway speeds on the app. Because some users do not understand how speed-based zoom works, that assume these overpasses are missing, and report every one they drive under until someone responds to a UR explaining why they don't see them. This is causing a large amount of unnecessary UR's and subsequent follow-up. In the US anyway, it would seem we could do completely…

Police avoidance
Like when a jam ahead is getting worse, Waze should tell you “police reported ahead. Do you want to divert? (2 more minutes)”. This should be toggleable in the settings just like speed alert is

Motorcycle using a 7" Tab 3 active. Beter than a Garmin!
Can you make high contrast maps for direct sun light on screen, size adjustable speed indication and limit, optional speech for over speed, and glove friendly button sizes.
Waze is already good, this would make it the best on a bike

Control audio warnings as a user option
In the audio, there are only 3 options. Please add a 4th option as a " user option" There you can not only set the type of warning, but also control the amount of " before exit/turn " warnings. Today, you either have all of them ( 3 ) or nothing. I would like to have for example only 1 waning for exit + Police + speed camera and nothing else. Anyone can chose and set his own preferences on the audio notification.

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and accessible…

Einstellung für vergrößerung der Tachoanzeige
Eine Einstellung womit man die Tachoanzeige vergrößern kann um die Geschwindigkeit und das Speedlimit auf kleinen Bildschirmen besser lesen zu können, wäre sehr hilfreich und würde das Autofahren mit waze nochmal sehr erleichtern
A setting that allows you to enlarge the speedometer display to be able to read the speed and the speed limit better on small screens, would be very helpful and would make driving with waze even easier

Camera Ratings
Add an option to rate the availability of the fixed speed cameras. Sometimes the fixed speed cameras are removed but since there is no one to update them then it always show up in the map. My idea is to add a button THERE for those cameras that are already there and NOT THERE button. When the NOT THERE ratings exceeds THERE ratings so the editors know that they have to remove them. This can also be shown while driving and let the drivers know the truthfulness of the cameras.
