Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

New map on android auto is not user friendly. See details...
The new android auto map has several things that made it less user friendly. First the posted speed and your speed icons are so small that they are hard to read in a glance. You actually have to look very close at it to read them because of the small size.
Also, the reporting button is so tiny and it's black and white now which blends it to the map more and makes it less easily accessible while driving without looking. The old bigger icons were more user friendly. Even after you select to report sometging the icons are much…6 votes -
Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

Miscellaneous Suggestions - Reporting Items Not There and Hazards
I would suggest having the ability to select reports and mark them as not there. For instance, oncoming traffic reports of speed traps or traffic that have since cleared up but not timed out.
Also reporting a road hazard of disabled vehicle on the road. Currently there's vehicle on shoulder and you can report an accident on the road. We should be able to note a disabled vehicle blocking one lane.
Lastly there should be the ability to note in an accident if it's affecting both sides (when EMS responds from both directions and closes lanes), when the road is…

Prevent fatal accidents by encouraging a square trip
Drivers drive too fast and pass dangerously because they believe they are saving time. But it is very difficult to shorten the travel time by driving fast . The suggestion is that Waze will recognize that the car is speeding or driving at a significantly higher speed than the average speed on the same road, and give the driver the information that if he travels at the speed limit, his travel time will only be extended by few minutes (Waze will caculate the extended time).
נהגים נוהגים במהירות מופרזת ועוקפים בצורה מסוכנת כי הם מאמינים שהם חוסכים זמן. אבל…

Police reported ahead
Whenever you say, police reported ahead, on the iPhone, it blocks what the speed limit is supposed to be. Why?! How do I know what to slow down to?

Please extend the over speed alarm tone as it is too short when using bluetooth phone connect setting
When using "Bluetooth Phone" connection on Audi the connection time is so long that the short overspeed alarm tone is not played over the car speakers, all that happens is the cars entertainment system is turned down and dead air is played.

Calculate fuel consumption and show cost of the route
It would be great to be able to enter the average fuel consumption for certain speeds for your vehicle and then while calculating show also the cost of the route. It can be calculated by known speeds on the road, the need to stop and go on traffic lights, the overall profile of the route. There is an iPhone app that can serve as an inspiration - http://drivegain.com

Improve Reroute Efficiency
I find that when I'm driving my morning or afternoon commute, Waze isn't automatically updating my route as highway traffic evolves. While driving, I find myself repeatedly having to shut the app off and on to get the refreshed data to find the fastest route. I don't believe this is due to my cellular service, as I've performed speed tests at various points along my commute and achieved 20 mbps down and 5 up. If you could work on improving real time route efficiency based on quickest time to destination, your Wazers would be grateful.

include a live odometer (android)
As a bicyclist, I don't get a spedometer nor an odometer with my bike. Instead of paying an extra $200 for the setup, I decided to mount my phone to my bike hence me using waze, and having a difficult time deciding whether or not I should use waze, or a diff app for my trips as I like keeping track of my speed, distance, and time for my various trips.
If you can include a hud or at least an indicator for distance traveled, that would be awesome. I'm liking the inDrive app style

Make fully customizable alerts
You guys should make the alerts customizable. For example, I want to get the app to make a sound when I'm approaching a speed camera or something while above the speed limit. Now, if I set the sound as "Alerts" it only makes a sound when there's a speed bump which is useless because there are 6 street signs before every bump! Make a big list of all possible alerts and allow the user to choose what they want to define as alert deserving stuff

PLEASE stop routing people on minor roads
Please stop routing people on minor roads like Norwich St in Milwaukee! Our small, quiet road now has tons of traffic that it never had before (I've been here 20 years) and that it wasn't designed for, to the point that I might look into whether we can get speed bumps, especially since most of the cars are going WAY over our 25 mph speed limit. Keep people on the major roads that were designed for more traffic and that have higher speed limits, please.

Copilot
There are three very useful things missing to make driving safer: 1. Speed traps alerts if speed limit drops ahead, a warning of change will do. 2. Exit speeds beyond a delta; you might be on 65 limit with short ramp at 25 exit unfamiliar with rain at night is dangerous. 3. Save preferred routes like roads you like leaving your town because of deer, fog, blind turns, or whatever drive your preference without having to put your destination and then a stop to force a route or else reroute messages come at every corner

Fatigue management
Please increase the size of the current speed limit (in the red circle) to the same size as the current speed (in the black circle). This would help to make it easier for drivers to see at just a glance rather than needing to take their eyes off the road to read the small writing.
Also when the speed limit is changed could the app please annouce the speed limit rather than just the audible prompt that is currently given when the speed limit is exceeded.

Ideas
Hi,
I love the app use it almost every day!
I have several ideas to improve the Waze app.
• Bring back the police and on road icons, this enables us to see relative distance to reporting
• Allow mobile and directional reporting of police
• Allow inside or outside lane reporting of hazards
• Post reports of police both directions as we have officers who wait in median
• Allow directions to closest officer for emergency use.
• Allow return to normal speed after clearing of congested roadways
• Update routes when roads become congested (immediately without searching alternate…5 votes
