Rush hour commuting times using historical data not just current.
I'd like to know past rush hour commuting times of routes. I am looking to buy a home and using Waze to see what the commute time would be. Problem is that everyone is working from home due to Covid-19 so there is no traffic added to times predicted during normal rush hour time.

Midpoint
It’s called midpoint. You put in your starting location and the other persons starting location. You then search for a place you wanna meet up, and it calculates where the middle ground is (you can also make it someone drives more than another if you want). Put in the time you wanna meet up, it tells you when to go. When you start the drive, you can alert the other person you are on the way, and the other person can respond w the same. You can see both cars on the overview, send a notification if you are gonna…

Contribution to avoid multiple accidents and make Waze a more important tool
The central idea is to interface a two-way communication between the application and the car's computer (this makes it easier when the vehicle has an integrated screen, which would allow Waze to access vehicle information. All this information is impulse electronics that activate lights, warnings or any device to generate corrections, low pressure in the tires, lack of fuel, defect in some mechanical part, etc. Etc. etc. the idea that is waze read them and interpret them as warnings, in this In this sense, the human time to carry out or interpret an emergency is reduced, this could generate…

4.70.1.0 for Android - disable automatic "recent locations" tab
Why would you even bother adding such a thing? I don't need it. I know where to go for recent locations. I don't want to see it pop up every time I start waze.
Keep up these "improvements" and I'll be switching apps. Stop dumbing down the UI. Quit piling more and more crap on the main screen. There is no point. I want a map. I want traffic (audible) alerts. When using a destination, I want audible turn-by-turn directions. THAT'S ALL.
And TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP. Or, give me a toggle where I can turn it off. I'm…

Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads…

back alley
not sure if these two concerns are already part.of this new update because I'm barely having the update done:
- I think, Waze designed to.guide us using fastest route, to cross a busy street Melrose for example, instead of leading us to a traffic light controlled street where we can have our legal turn to cross Melrose. or make a left or right turn. Waze would lead us to a yield and non-traffic light controlled street where there is zero chance of crossing the busy street. and leave us with the last option to just make a yield right turn…

Using voice commands to report on issues on the road
Would it be possible to report on traffic jams and other road dangers etc. via voice command instead of having to tap them on the screen? A voice command can be made much faster and is less distracting than the current way where you have look what to enter on the phone screen.

Buses live - drivers catch buses too
Use the facility that you have but simply add the bus number that you are on. People can then see wherever their next bus is (live input from WAZE users) or see where the alternatives are. Set up simple: Which city are you in? e.g. Brisbane Australia (stays as the default location setting). Have a button for Buses (a BAZE button). What bus are you on? 180 - and that's it. You may make it that at least 3 people need to enter the number to be valid and it would be good to drop people off if the bus…

RADARS:
When a radar has different speeds depending on traffic or pollution, and has not a fix speed limit but changes, then it would be useful that user may load the speed, so all users would be advised about real limit each time, just for the ones that has different speeds. For the other it would be useful to infrom about speed limit.

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.

Add to reporting options
Please consider adding an addition to the hazard, crashes or traffic jams portion of the reporting...I.e., hazard LEFT shoulder, crash RIGHT lane, RIGHT or LEFT lane closed merge right/left. Today we do not know where the issue is, and this would be super helpful in Miami traffic 😩

Reporting offensive comment or possible scam in map chat
I have been noticing possible scammer on the map chat for months now. The strategy has always been the same- reports heavy traffic and posted comments asking people for money (if the traffic is 20km long, you’ll see multiple traffic reports and comments from the same account all the way!). There has been instances where I encountered people cussing and giving offensive remarks on the map chat as well.
It is frustrating seeing them on the map. I hope the team can do something about this.

Partner with TV and radio so that they can report what the Wazers are posting.
My area has poor traffic reporting. I think it would to everyone's advantage if radio and tv stations would report directly from what Waze is having posted. They could incorporate this much the same as a weather report.

Remind me to turn off the lights before exiting the car/turning off the engine
Just like there is a reminder for children, can you add an option to turn off the headlights at night before turning the engine off? The reason is that for cars without auto turn off, the battery drains and it is stressful to turn the jumpstart the engine.

Routine Commute Advance Monitoring and Warning
I have a couple of routine, weekday commutes, to and from work. I think it would be beneficial if I could plug in my routine, target arrival times and monitor my commute in advance of my departure. For example, if I need to arrive at home by 6 to pick up kids for a typical 35 minute commute it would start monitoring my commute 1.5 hours or so ahead. If there is a significant delay it would notify me in advance of my typical departure to pay attention early to the commute. I think this would be beneficial in cases…

Motorcyclist Approaching / Fast Vehicle Approaching Report
Some motorists like to weave in and out through traffic. Often times, these drivers/riders are only noticed once they fly by, which can be dangerous or fatal for anyone involved. We can increase driver awareness by adding a “Motorcycle Approaching” or “Fast Vehicle Approaching” feature in the Navigation mode. This will warn other Wazers that a fast motorcycle or fast vehicle may be approaching and to be extra cautious when merging. With a larger audience aware of fast-approaching vehicles, we can attempt to save more lives.
Example feature...
Wazer 1: Report > Hazard > On Road > Motorcyclist passing

Tassos from Greece: By my opinion Waze has one great positive and one negative ..
positive :
that its great in changing really fast routing in real time especially in city center of Athens according traffic jam ..negative : that outside center , its prehestoric .. a lot of roads are missing, every user (that knows it ) does editing all the time ,
where you could adapt a FULL map of Google (as i thing Google bought waze , isnt it ? ) or openstreetmap ..
and we, the users that only edit if there is wrong in direction for example , ONLYYYY ..
editing , and filling new roads for me looks…

Expand URL Scheme
I would like to see an expanded URL scheme that would allow the reporting of traffic, accidents, police, etc. from apps like Launch Center Pro.
I frequently forget to start Waze and don't remember until I come upon an event I would like to report to help other users. It is sometimes too late to report the event by the time I can find Waze and hit the appropriate button. A URL action that could be launched from Launch Center Pro would be very helpful to quickly report these events if Waze isn't launched. It would increase my reporting…
