Traffic Delays- "other side" option
When there are traffic delays on the other side of the road, there should be an option to select "other side"
8 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

highlight traffic jams
Better highlight of traffic jams on the map. AT the moment, it seems impossible to see an upcoming jam when Waze is following a route. The route track overlays the jam indication of the maps and the whole thing is not very visible. Make it clearer by making introducing stripes, checkerboards or whatever.

Avoiding Traffic notification
Can you add a notification sound or announcement letting drivers know when Waze is avoiding traffic or hazards?
The reason is that sometimes Waze will prompt you to take a route that seems to make no sense, and I'm tempted to say no. If Waze would just say something like "Take the next exit, avoiding traffic," it would be much easier to understand why.
6 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance
I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
Standard options:
- shortest distance
- shortest time
Standard avoids :
- avoid toll roads
- avoid highwaysNew ones:
- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can…

No Thru Traffic
I don't know where else to put this. We have a No Thru Traffic sign to our neighborhood but Waze is still routing people through. We have exactly 2 entrances/exits to our neighborhood and this is greatly effecting our traffic. How do I report this properly?

Traffic officer
In the UK we have Traffic officers that are not police. They are just Highway officers that patrol and look after the roads it would be good to be able to report them. Sometimes they are in the road clearing debris and helping the police so making drivers aware could save their lives.

Traffic stops.
Would be nice if the police report had the option of reporting just a traffic stop. Lots of users report when a vehicle is being pulled over

Daily Weekday Morning Traffic Report
I would like to receive a morning traffic report every weekday when I wake up to know of any hazards or traffic delays and the fastest / recommended route prior to departing to work (same destination every morning). Ideally, this would be pushed to the notification center and have the ability to be spoken (briefly stating that your preferred route is slower than usual or a wreck at a location and to use HWY 80 instead, etc.).

Add traffic camera report option for fixed highway cameras
Had traffic camera report option for stationary highway monitoring cameras. These are not red light cameras and these are not speed traps.

Alert to turn always lights on on motorcycles
In portugal it's mandatory motorcycles always ride with the lights on.
Like in cars we have an alert to turn on the lights in tunels, when we are riding, the GPS remember to turn on the lights and never alert In tunels (because the lights are already on)1 vote -
Add an "Avoid traffic" routing option
I don't mind adding a few minutes to my trip if it means I can keep moving and not get stuck in traffic. Waze already has the data to make this type of routing possible.

purple route line hides traffic
When in navigation mode the purple route line hides the yellow and red lines showing traffic congestion. This discourages me from using the navigation. There could be an option to turn the purple line on/off just like there is an option to turn voice commands on/off

A new route suggestion
I would like to have a route suggestion that is "no traffic and no stop lights".
I'm driving a stick (manual car) and prefer to drive longer but to be "on the move" rather than get there faster sitting in traffic or stop lights.1 vote -
Show alternate route traffic
Give the capability to tap the screen to see alternate route traffic. For instance, Original Route goes from Point A to B to C to D to E. Along the way, WAZE reroutes and goes from A to B to M to N to E.
It would be beneficial to the user to be able to tap the screen, and see both routes- the new one, and the original with red where the traffic is.12 votes -
active traffic bar
waze would be the PERFECT nav app if it had one more thing...an active traffic bar like the "copilot gps" app. seems like you could just take the traffic jam bar you already have (which is not very useful) and turn it into a permanent bar on the side of the map that reaches out to the end of the destination or up to maybe 50 miles or so...and updates every 5 mins or so with green/yellow/red based on traffic along the route. mapquest does a basic form of this but it's not quite right...however, copilot gps does it perfectly.…

Hazard/Police/Crash/Traffic icons on waze map screen
Please place Hazard/Police/Crash/Traffic Icons on waze map screen. It is difficult when driving to mark a Hazard/Police/Crash/Traffic while driving.

Time in traffic
Alert users of the time they will spend in traffic on highways etc before the off-ramp. The alert always come up after you have gone past the turn off so you are stuck sitting in the traffic.

re-route based on upcoming traffic conditions / congestions
While waze does show upcoming traffic condition on one's route it does not provide facility to automatically re-route the traveler around traffic congestion using surface streets or alternate highway/freeway.
This is essential to optimizing waypoint ordering/priority:
This ought be available in other-than a binary toggle (yes or no). While yes and no are suitable broad options, waze ought provider finer grained control of re-routing as it does now (faster or shorter). These should include
(1) time windows
(2) zones / areas
(3) specific roads / highways / freeways
(4) density of other Wazers
(5) using either / both wazer…
