Add traffic camera report option for fixed highway cameras
Had traffic camera report option for stationary highway monitoring cameras. These are not red light cameras and these are not speed traps.

Would be nice if the police report had the option of reporting just a traffic stop. Lots of users report when a vehicle is being pulled over

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 -
Daily Weekday Morning Traffic Report
I would like to receive a morning traffic report every weekday when I wake up to know of any hazards or traffic delays and the fastest / recommended route prior to departing to work (same destination every morning). Ideally, this would be pushed to the notification center and have the ability to be spoken (briefly stating that your preferred route is slower than usual or a wreck at a location and to use HWY 80 instead, etc.).

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.

active traffic bar
waze would be the PERFECT nav app if it had one more thing...an active traffic bar like the "copilot gps" app. seems like you could just take the traffic jam bar you already have (which is not very useful) and turn it into a permanent bar on the side of the map that reaches out to the end of the destination or up to maybe 50 miles or so...and updates every 5 mins or so with green/yellow/red based on traffic along the route. mapquest does a basic form of this but it's not quite right...however, copilot gps does it perfectly.…

Add an "Avoid traffic" routing option
I don't mind adding a few minutes to my trip if it means I can keep moving and not get stuck in traffic. Waze already has the data to make this type of routing possible.

Add traffic like icons to your maps like Google Maps.
Google Maps has traffic light icons on their maps which is very useful when deciding what intersection to use, especially when making a left hand turn in heavy traffic areas. I don't understand why this feature is not offered since Waze is under the Google umbrella.

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

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.

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…

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…

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.

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.

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.
