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…

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.

Warning for New Police / Radar / Mobile Camera Reports
Please add a warning ⚠️ to notify the driver when a new report of police, radar, or a mobile speed camera appears on their route. This will help ensure the driver is aware well in advance and stays mindful of their speed.
We live in a country that the speed signs are not well placed or exists, then the police hides in the bush and contracted a third party with hundreds of nonto police vans to hide in the bush to fine people.2 votes -

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?

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

Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control
Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact

Fix the Waze app display to it's original display
Currently the display is matching google maps display cluster. It is hard to see the entire map during navigation. The old speed limit bigger character size and circle size was replaced with a small box with 4x lower character size, almost impossible to read. Remove the display update and return it to the old display and functionality. Please!

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 -
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.

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes -
timing of alerts
is there any way WAZE can have the speed limit changes switch a little earlier, cos at the moment I can go 50ft or more past the speed limit change before the waze updates the change. certain plods near east gordano set up traps right behind the speed limit sign,

intentional unmark of police point
People from police are intentionally unmarking existing stationary police points, to not be recognized.
Maybe its possible to update waze to stop this intentional unmarking mostly on police speed checking points.3 votes -

Personalized notification. Some of the notification I am always interested in others I am only interested in when I am pulling a trailer. Consider allowing personalization of the notification choices. When commuting to/from work when not pulling a trailer I am concerned with Police Officers on the side of the road and objects on the road. I drive the route most every day and know where the red light and speed cameras are located. I do not need to receive notification of these every day as they are static. Having a way to capture MOBILE speed cameras is something that…

Add a button to change the speed limit from kilometers per hour to miles per hour
What I mean by this, is when you have kilometers selected as your unit, the speedometer changes to kilometers per hour. So maybe an option in settings allows you to change the speedometer back to miles per hour. This would be especially useful for people in the United States being used to kilometers as their unit.
