A way to block roads except for residents. Potentially during certain hours.
Massachusetts has quite a few areas with signs “residents only” or “local traffic only”, some during certain hours.

Funny voice interpretation
Please adopt some Philippines funny voice version, voices like Babalu, Dolphy or Fernando Poe Jr. As you all know that traffic here is terrible hearing those voices will have some smile on a commuters/passengers. Its a nice form of entertainment to ease the heavy traffic.

Fuel Card station selection
In the U.K. There are a number of different fuel cards that work at select stations, and sometimes they're not easy to find. Would it be possible to add to the preferred stations selection to include 'stations accepting Keyfuels cards' for example?

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 brakes13 votes -
Add an option in the police alert for "unmarked". To me "hidden" is different than an unmarked police car.

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way to cross is to barge your way through) and usually yellow box junctions are put in the most ridiculous places seemingly by local officials who don't drive (I just got a penalty charge notice for one that is at the crest of a hill, I couldn't see it and the truck in front blocked my view as to whether I could cross it).
Thanks for reading, please vote! :)

"Workers on road side"
Can you add a "workers on side of road" choice under "hazard"? Often times when I'm driving I see workers on the side of the road mowing grass or something like that. I would like to have the ability to warn other drivers that there are people in close proximity to the road / work going on that's not exactly on the road.

Make Waze alert me when I'm near somewhere
Make Waze alert me when I'm near somewhere
Calendar events are triggered by time, right?
What if...
You want to go to a place, but you don't need to go any time soon, so you plan ahead, and say:
When I drive close to "this" place, I'll stop by.
So what I want is this:
I tell Waze, I'll need to get to "X" place.
Remind me when I get as near as "1/5/10 Km."13 votes -

Posibilidad de marcar en el mapa, los reductores de velocidad más grandes (túmulos)
En las calles y carreteras de los países de América Central, es común que haya reductores de velocidad de gran tamaño. Sería interesante poder marcarlos en el mapa.

Botão para radar

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.

Stop using the word "Accident" completely.
Crashes are not accidents. The NHTSA has stopped using the word accident in all communications. So have many state highway patrols, and local police. So has the medical profession. Please stop using "accident" on Waze, and instead use crash or collision. Accidents are quite rare, and the word is far to subjective to be using like this.

Be able to show an accident or hazard for the opposite side of the road. Many times, we'll see it on the opposite side.
Many times, we see accidents on the opposite but when we report it, it says our side.
13 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

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!!!

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.
