Multiple nearby incidents
Waze does not allow for reporting of multiple incidents of the same type in a short distance. If I report a car on the shoulder for example (or if there is already an existing report of said car) and I go to report a second one, if I'm still close enough to the first report it will limp them together. I feel like there should be a pop up saying "there is already report of a car on the shoulder in this area. Is this the same incident or are you reporting a new one?" And then allow me…

Indications regarding the police
I am very pleased about the alerts of the app, however there is one alert I would recommend to eliminate: proximity of police. It may be that with this alert we are providing very valuable information to criminals that will be very happy to avoid facing police officers, even avoiding police controls displayed to stop such criminals. In the same way these alerts provide a heads-up to drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, under excessive speed or with non appropriate vehicles. I do not endorse providing these alerts because of the…

Places icons
A way to add gasstation icons, parking icons, trainstation icons etc. So you can see them on the map.
Maybe in combination with zoom distance, at what 'hight' you want to see them. for instance, highway gas station and parking space you want always to see. But icons in a city, only when you are close.2 votes -
Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.
Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

Show cost of travel (toll + fuel + maybe parking values).
When choosing a destination and between different paths, toll routes could have the cost of those tolls.
As an additional feature it could calculate fuel cost (having the car/engine information, average speed and total distance).1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Change the voice for police or red light camera.
I tend to tune out the monotone voice of the Waze speaker and when there is a police or red might camera I don’t register in my mind that it’s there. Would be nice if I could change specific alerts like that to be a different noise alert like a beep or a different voice.

Aquaplanning risks
I would like to suggest introducing “Aquaplaning risk” as a climate alert. It should be useful during raining days to another driving wazers driving in Portugal (I'm portuguese) and of course all over the world.
Best regards and manny thanks

User option to define the value you want the speed exceeded alert to be given!
I know that by default it is 30Km/h but in many situations 30 is a very "large" range when going from 120 to 100 in a controlled zone P.E. on the A29
This value should be a user-defined option!
The warning must be given a few meters before entering the area at a new speed
(The precedence can also be a value to be defined by the user)2 votes -
Another speed camera idea
I want field box indicating if there is a speed camera on my planned route. I want tis option with audio and I want it to take some noticeable portion of the screen. I also want this box to indicate calculated distance to the next Hazard zone each time. I want the Hazard box to stay until no hazards.

Alerta de conducción contra el tránsito
Hola Waze!!
Es posible que incluyan una alerta, parecida a las de luces, que alerte por conducir en una vía contra el tránsito.
Antes de ayer usaba la aplicación, sin indicación de ruta, e ingresé una calle sin letreros. El Waze solo se volvió loco con la flecha y no me percaté hasta que otro conductor me advirtió.
Espero que lo consideren muy útil.

Next car park incl. Price from act.. Location
I'm here today in an unknown environment but I don't want to be ripped off while parking.
Therefore, at "near me" list parking spaces according to distance and indicate the price/h!

Revise the police notification regarding "Is it still there?"
Please revise the police notification where you confirm if they are still there. The timer begins ticking when the notification occurs, and if I am waiting at a red light, then I will not be able to confirm if they are still there, because the timer will end by the time I arrive the police location.
It would be good to have the confirmation of the police 1 km or so after the police location and not 1 minute or so after the police notification. So the timer should tick by counting the distance, and not the seconds.Thanks!

Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node
Make the "Complex Intersection" feature to be set at node, not a each segment aproaching the "Complex intersection"
This would make the app less cluttered, as only one alert will be needed instead of several, as of now, one alert for every segment approching the interserction.

Add an emergency broadcast system for active shooter nearby
My kids go to a TX university where they have a fairly robust emergency broadcast system for students who opt into the service. They are texted when 'authorities' (there are validation cycles/sources) have determined an emergency situation is in process notifying students of an active situation (either active shooter or lockdown for violent person escape/at large).
I know Waze does have some features with other traffic or EMS emergency notification features, but I think there might be a valid case to use the Government and Public Safety alert systems for people who are within a mile of an active shooter…
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.

CarPlay Suggestions
Equipment: iPhone Xs Max 128gb
Volvo XC60 Inscription 2018- Can the map be made bigger?
- When an alert appears, make it so it is quite apparent. Currently I need to keep looking at the center console to see what is ahead.
- On the iPhone, auto refresh the "alerts ahead" list of items. Have the miles tick down continually. Perhaps this is a good area to fix #2.
- There are times when I want to use my built in nav system when CarPlay enabled. Is there a way to toggle CarPlay on/off?
I have been accepted to the beta…

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:
1) This shortens…12 votes -
Mute specific notifications at specific locations
I want to know about cars on shoulder, hazards on road etc but I want to be be able to mute specific alerts by location : I know there is a speed camera and pot holes on my normal route and want to mute those but not mute all other items for same items on the rest of my drive. Shouldn’t be an all or nothing alert system. Need a MUTE THIS NOTIFICATION FOR THIS LOCATION ONLY option.

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit…

False data due to UI
When sitting in heavy traffic, it blocks the view of ETA status until an alert ‘still there’ or ‘not there’ is not selected, in CarPlay mode.
This makes people report false data just to get back to the ETA screen. They don’t even know if that alert is present or not, leading to various occasions of false data.
Suggestion: to enable that pop up in heavy traffic once the user is closer to that located bubble.
