Add draw bridges to reporting options
I live in Seattle and we have half a dozen draw bridges in the area. The Waze app has led me to be stuck and waiting for bridges to go down on more than one occasion, so it would be great if Wazers could report when the bridges go up and when they go back down.

Make the nav text (under the distance) white instead of light blue to improve contrast
The current navigation text is light blue on black (which becomes dark gray under most lighting conditions) lacks contrast and becomes unreadable in many situations. Also would be good to allow for user-selectable text size to take advantage of larger displays (6 and 6 plus).

Saving Lives Warning People in Brazil
Hello Waze and Everyone! For the third time I heard a really sad story here in Brazil. First let me tell you: waze made a revolucion in how me and everyone moves around here. But the thing is that in Brazil we have a thing called favelas. Favelas are wood "homes" made by poor people because they dont have anywhere else to live. Favelas are very dangerou places, and once you get in you'll probably end up dead, just like how happened this weekend in Rio because a 70 year old couple end up going there via waze. They typed the wrong street number, and as soon as they got there, their car was full of gun shots. The wife died and the husband (who was driving) managed to get to the hospital. Last month the same happened to a couple and a guy, the couple is alive but the other guy died as well. My suggestion is to make a warning at the app whenever people are entering in a dangerous places like those favelas. This is really important!!!

Police Officer options
Any way to create an option to log on as a "verified" Police Officer so I can respond to hazzards not called in but reported to Waze? Maybe an option to create an overlay so if I'm signed on, I get notified of hazzards in my area?

Report abuse
I got behind a user the other day that was constantly reporting nonsense. Assumingly to amass more points. How about the ability to report abusers or if nothing else, block reports from certain users

Tom Hiddleston
I suggest using Tom Hiddleston's voice for navigating. It would make the travel in traffic worthwhile.

Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead

Invites the user to reports UR to correct the problem himself
When the editor reports an error on the map as UR , the system could send an e- mail indicating the WME and the forum so that it even correct the problem on the map. The idea is to get new editors.

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

speed / progress estimation
In areas where there is no GPS available, expecially in tunnels, what about a speed / progress estimation? This could be based on:
1) let's say.. 80%-90% of speed before entering a tunnel
2) if other wazers drove through that tunnel shortly before, you should know when they entered and left the tunel and so approximate the speed in the tunnel.This would have several advantages:
1) no "jumping" on map, no "jumping" in ETA (as now you stand at the beginning of the tunnel and then jump to the end)
2) when there is something to report in the tunnel (accidents, radar traps), now everything is at the entrance of the tunnel (as waze thinks I'm standing there until I leave the tunnel), though it might be close before the end of it..In areas where there is no GPS available, expecially in tunnels, what about a speed / progress estimation?

"Hazard on shoulder" menu should include "Road crew"
In Massachusetts, road/highway cleanup crews on are always accompanied by a state police or sheriff's van. I would like to report the location of a road crew without having to tag it as a "vehicle stopped on shoulder" or "police visible" because neither of these options is very accurate. Can a "road crew" option please be added to the "Hazard on shoulder" menu?

Add motorcycle icons for sports bike and cruise
There is an icon for motorcycle that looks like a scooter. It would be cool to add different ones for sport bike and cruiser just like there are icons for various car types.

Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for level 1 editors like me. Please note Jct of CT Route 190 and US I-84. This bridge construction started in May this year and is expected to continue through next year.

Allow Menu and Report buttons to be hidden or transparent
For screens that can suffer from burn-in, the buttons at the bottom of the Android client are very bright and prominent. While I have been lucky that the burn went away on my stock Galaxy S3, it would seem a nice option to be able to modify settings for those buttons. I would think either a "show on tap", or transparent option would be best. Perhaps also changing them to a darker look when in night mode would help too.
