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 -
Adding Traffic signals to the map or giving the option to avoid signals or not
Will there ever be an update that gives you the option to avoid traffic signals or not or possibly show traffic signals on the map? Many times in order to save time. It routes me to a block with no traffic signal at forces me to make a left onto a busy intersection, which sometimes is very dangerous. I’d much rather wait at a traffic light which I end up having to do anyway, in order to make the left when the traffic stops.

Drag racing on Honeycutt Road, Cumberland County, Fayetteville NC
At certain hours (at dusk and when it’s dark), there are drag racers that frequent HoneyCutt Road in Cumberland County and on the Fort Liberty side as well. They frequent this road, because there are no traffic lights after the one by Simmons Airfield. Those individuals will ride your bumper and speed around you. Whenever there have been accidents they’re usually severe due to high speed. So people need to be aware. Department of Transportation are very much aware of this ongoing issue and they have done nothing to install additional traffic lights as that would cut down on the…

Alternative feature for traffic jam bar
The traffic jam bar is automatically shown in the portrait WAZE map view mode but it can't be automatically shown in the landscape WAZE map mode. Actually, this bug is already exist in the previous WAZE GPS app versions & had ever reported to the WAZE support team.
You can witness this bug when in navigation mode & the WAZE map is rotated from portrait view mode to landscape view mode & vice versa.
Perhaps a countdown timer, say to be placed either beside the speedometer or beside the orange reporting traffic/hazard type button, showing the elapsing estimated time…

Traffic condition ease up
A lot of times I'm going through roads that waze will say that the road is congested, when in fact the Traffic is already clear.
I would like to give the driver an option to notify Waze when going through a 'traffic cleared area' that the road is now clear again, also when Waze recognizes that the car has a greater speed as it was posted - Waze should send an automatic message to that Wazer asking how is your road condition 'slow/ heavy / standstill..?!
Please look into my request, I feel it will help a lot of…

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

report generation to local authorities
It would be a great feature if a master report could be generated daily in major metropolitan areas indicating reports by Wazers regarding potholes, faulty traffic lights etc so that these can be repaired quickly. Alternatively, a program could be made avaliable to them wherby they can monitor selected reports witin their city and dispatch officers or repair crews to sort ouy the problems. This could also be a great Waze marketing tool.

Indicate both start and end of roadworks / traffic
For users that mark the beginning or roadworks / traffic, leave up an icon that they can press to indicate the end of the traffic. From this, work out how long it took me to get through the zone and pass on the info to other users.

Enable drawing polygon areas Where Closures Cannot Be Applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

Better traffic updates
There’s needs to be a better explanation when putting a traffic update on the map. Putting that there’s a traffic jam or standstill traffic doesn’t help. Needs to have a better explanation with the traffic update in order for it to be put on the map. Why is traffic being held up?!! Is construction or an accident.

Improvement to avoiding difficult intersections
I use the "Avoid Difficult Intersections" in the app but am still often taken to very busy main roads to turn right without traffic lights. I drive every day doing rideshare work & this is a constant issue for me.

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
17 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

End traffic jam automatically
Have Waze detect when you've been traveling close to the speed limit for a while and mark the point you starting driving faster as the end of the traffic jam.

parking lot landmarks / traffic analysis
I would like to see certain landmarks not count as traffic analysis. If an area is marked as a restaurant, parking lot, gas station, etc.. the time a waze client spends there should NOT count against traffic analysis. Wazers can't be expecte to turn their nav system on and off just to order a burger, or fill up the tank. In reality, a nav system should be as "hands off" as possible for the daily commute. start waze when you get in the car.. go on your trip, pull over at the gas station and leave waze running. go through…

2 ideas for routing
Have an option to base economic routes on the cars MPG. It would basically be googles econ route but made tailored to your MPG rather than on car average. Another thing would be to add traffic lights and stop signs to account for on the trip.
