Tow Mode
I often tow a trailer for work, and use Waze to go everywhere - but often time saving routes will take me down side streets and laneways that are narrow and difficult to navigate with a trailer. Same would apply for touring with a caravan.
It would be awesome to have a mode that minimizes tight turns, side streets or intersections without traffic lights.

Cause of traffic message
Give a post question to drivers that are in front of the traffic zone to inform other drivers as to what is causing the traffic. It may also give authorities an idea on how to resolve the situation.

Fluid traffic areas
Waze only reports traffic jams. It would be useful to also mention the fluid traffic areas.

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

Add an option to always avoid construction/road works
Construction / Road works often come with temporary traffic lights due to lane closures, which are very slow and cause congestion. Waze should have the option to avoid these at all costs.

More report options
Many useful information on road conditions and hazards are not yet shareable, such as: Temporary / new speed limits or road layouts, warning about bicycles, pedestrians, slow vehicles or animals on the road, new signs / traffic lights, as well as reports for the oncoming traffic,

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?

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!

important traffic signs on waze map
in order to increase the safety of wasers and other traffic participants, what do you say if on the waze map will be the important traffic signs like: priority road, give way, stop, no stopping, no entry, one way, pedestrian crossing, level crossing; there are a lot of hiden signs by buildings, vegetation or by other reason those important signs are not seen and this goes to traffic events and it can be avoided if waze drivers are warned by their devices (if voice is activated)

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.

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"

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.

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 -
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 -
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

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…
