1. 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.
   Create a road type "residential street" for roads that should be generally avoided by through traffic. These roads might, for example, cause a routing penalty, discouraging using long stretches of residential streets or the routing system routing traffic to cut through neighborhoods. It may have a lower preference than a "street", but not carry as much as a penalty as a private road. The classification for residential streets may be optimally used for roads the primary purpose of which is to allow access to single-family residences or other low-density housing.

2. 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.

3. Units and Alerts to be changed

   Please add the function to change from Feet to Yards and to please always alert the driver of a speed camera with a sound.

   Due to these reasons I do not use Waze, but with these features I would used it every day

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 goes to the split screen, the destination just input is displayed and the itinerary can be started from there. It took me about 10 minutes of repeating the command, rebooting the car display, rebooting my phone, and just happened to see it on the split screen.

   After using Waze, and returning to the car to head home, It was nearly impossible to get Waze to activate Bluetooth and connect to my phone (Pixel 7 Pro). I rebooted everything, "forgot" all of my Bluetooth connections, and finally got it to connect.

   With the previous release, I never had these issues. So far, these are the major issues that I have discovered.

   PLEASE issue a quick update so that Waze is usable again. I may need to put my Garmin back in the car.

7. 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 on the Android Auto interface, even when another alert or warning is being displayed.

   This would allow drivers to immediately report the event they see without needing to interact with the current alert first. The Waze platform can later handle the filtering or merging of similar reports to prevent duplication.

9. Notification banner whilst not on top

   Hi guys

   Quick suggestion.. try to develop a notification for alerts (turns, speed cameras, etc.) for when Waze isn't on top... Just like Google maps navigation does.

   That'd be great!

   Username TiTi_Meirelles

   Cheers

10. 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 without this reporting category option.

12. iPhone

    Waze could display the speed limit of the road we are driving, and warn the speed limit of the speed controllers we are passing.
    Others devices have this improvement.

13. Radar audio warning trigger model

    I don't know if this is a new topic or not, but this is a problem that I've encountered wherein the normal Waze behavior is almost like a bug.

    How it works today
    The visual on screen warning for a Speed camera is based on distance only. I.e it will always show on-screen when the driver is X meters from the camera.
    However, the audio warning for a speed camera only activates if you pass the "detection distance" and are "over speed"

    Problem
    In this specific case, the radar is a 70 km/h radar. The detection distance however is when the driver is still in a 30 zone. Very few drivers will drive above 70 km/h there.
    Also, the Audio warning only triggers once. What I mean by this is that Waze will only trigger the audio warning when both of the following conditions are met simultaneously:

    if the driver enters the detection distance
    and is at over speed.
    

    This means that if the driver after passing the detection distance speeds up to a speed greater than the radar, he will still not receive an audio warning.

    How it should work
    The audio warning should trigger anytime:

    the driver is inside the detection zone
    and is over speed.
    

    The difference here is zone vs distance. The app should play an audio warning as soon as the driver's speed increases past the radar speed and is within the zone preceding the radar. It should also trigger again if the drivers slows down to a speed below the Radar and then back up again while in the zone.

15. Voice warnings about several hazards on the road

    Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

17. Add fix camera on the app

    These days, there are many fixed speed cameras that suddenly appeared in Hungary.
    There are mobile cameras and police registrations on the screen, but there are no fixed speed cameras. It would be nice if you could add it. Thank you.

18. Ability to see what kind of police setup it is, rather just an icon

    It would be helpful to see when a cop is listed on the map, whether it is a RBT, Drug Bus, speed camera etc. this would help alot.
    As you see sometimes the cop map but it just may be driving in that area, specifying what actually it is would be great
