Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.My Suggestion:
In case of a traffic jam on highways or major federal roads with moving speeds under 20km/h an alert is given reminding the user to leave enough space for emergency vehicles coming through. And if there is a traffic accident / broken-down vehicle reported ahead, the alert should be pushier.Should be an easy dependence-informatics thing with all the data you have and it would be a great support for all the emergency workers out there, risking their lives to help people.
Help us saving lives!

Pedestrian, Hitchhiker, Bicyclist hazards
What I would really like to see on the hazard page is a couple of different choices for people.
I realize you can't have an icon for everything, but I do think a couple of choices for people would be an excellent addition. My recommendation would be three different people icons:
Hitchhiker
Pedestrian
Bicyclist12 votes -
Alert "Traffic ahead" not helping...
The voice alert "Traffic ahead" should be hear at least 5 seconds before the traffic. Otherwise it misses the point - I can see the traffic by myself...
If it comes sooner it could help preventing unnecessary emergency brakes12 votes -
Variable Speed Limit Sign Integration
Here in Northeast Ohio in our construction zones we have "Variable Speed Limit" signs. They are used to reduce the speed limit on a streth of road only when the work zone is active. Example stretches are the Interstate 271/480 stretch in Bedford and again on Interstate 480 in Parma. The 271/480 signs will be in use til 2021 according to the construction plan.
There are several solutions:
1) When entering reported construction zone there could be a pop up presented asking for current speed with known work zone MPH listed (see below)
2) After pressing the speedometer/speed limit a Wazer could select variable work zone limit in effect
3) When marking a construction zone on the editor or within the app there could be an additional selection box for reporting if variable speed limits are in use.One 271/480 the posted speed limit is 60 MPH, the variable speed signs are used as follows:
50 MPH - Active work zone on your side
55 MPH - Active work zone on other side
60 MPH - No active work zoneHere in Northeast Ohio in our construction zones we have "Variable Speed Limit" signs.

Add "avoid side streets" option
In certain neighborhoods, side street routes are unsafe and not necessarily faster than sticking with the main drag: nothing like having to wait with 3 of my fellow Wazers while an onstreet drug deal concludes in front of us (side street alternative route directed by Waze in NE DC). Or maybe just add "Drug deal in progress" to the notifications?

Give me an email to send complaints to
I just deleted my waze app because it keeps sending me into accidents that have caused traffic build ups for hours. It completely undermines the entire point of this app. I have no way of letting waze know about these failures, atleast none I could easily find. I'm switching back to google maps

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)

ALWAYS display the destination address please! It helps when driving for Lyft & Uber.
If it's always displayed I won't have to switch off the waze app and go to my Lyft or Uber app to verify address. PLEASE include in next update! It can be a SAFETY HAZARD! Thank you!

Landscape mode, indicator
When in landscape mode on iPhone, there is no indicator that tells us that we are in a danger zone, a short signal and a visual indication appear at the entrance and exit of the zone but nothing in between, while in portrait mode there is a visual indicator. That exist on older versions

Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer.
Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer: Green = route traversed by another Wazer no longer than 2 minutes ago; yellow = 2 to 5 minutes; red = no Wazer traffic within the last 5 minutes.

New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it
The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!! At any complex junction all of the roads bleed together and are hard to follow. Apple's map app has very nice looking road thickness and color scheme that is easy to follow.
d) Not enough Information - I wish the map had more information like more highway and interstate numbering. It would be nice if restaurants and other places were shown on the app while driving - again like Apple.
e) I have also noticed that the time before a turn that Waze notifies you seems to have been shortened. My first drive I took with the update was through places I have not been before. I missed a few turns (granted I wasn't zeroed in on my app) but this never happened with the previous version of the app.I think a combination of all of these factors has led to a more poorly designed app. The only reason I use it now is because it alerts me for hazards and cops :/ I think Waze took a big step back, and I may soon switch to other navigation apps after collecting 32k+ points in Waze...

Show and say the next action before the gps signal lost in tunel
I'm living in a country where lot of tunnel on the road. I all the time facing the problem where I have no time to change the lane at the exit of the tunnel, because the signal lost in the tunnel, and when the device lock the signal again there not enough time to take the action.
It would be nice to warn the user "you driving into the tunnel at the tunnel exit keep left" or something similar.
Yes I know I can see the next action when the gps signal lost but if I don't know how long is the tunnel I'm not sure the next action will be right after the tunnel exit or later needed.I'm living in a country where lot of tunnel on the road.

Reward helpful information in Update Requests
When reviewing Update Requests in Waze Map Editor, it is very helpful and satisfying when the user making the report provides enough information that I can identify and fix a problem without asking for additional information. When this happens, as a reviewer of the Update Request, I would like to be able to reward the user for their helpful information. I envision this as some sort of check box when I mark the Update Request as Solved that would drop a road goodie for the reporter. This is just an idea for implementation and it could take a different form as long as the reporter could be rewarded for good information.
Also, there would need to be a mechanism for preventing self-reward.

Passenger Assist/Remote Control Feature
I wish passengers could remotely control a driver's Waze app through the Waze app on their own phone.
It would be useful for when it's dangerous for the driver to interact with their phone or the passenger to reach over because the vehicle is on the move. Maybe it could be implemented by requiring both driver and passenger to have been friends on Waze and then comparing whether their spatial vectors are similar to prevent abuse. The initiation should be done from the passenger's Waze app and it should be possible to request remote control at any point of time, even in the middle of a trip.
I want it to be completely seamless to the driver so they don't have to tap on a confirmation prompt to allow a passenger to remotely control their Waze. Of course, the driver's Waze should display a widget at the corner or something that lets them quickly break a remote connection.
