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

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

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 -

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…

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
