When pressing on the screen to highlight a specific place, road / point of interest. The option to log a hazzard, danger etc, whilst drivng
Whist driving, due to a variety of reasons, it's not always possible to log a hazzard on the road, like a tie-down strap that fell off a truck in front of me today. I thought I could simply report the issue, but I lost my connection and instead pushed on the screen where the tie-down strap was, hoping there was an additional option, so once it was safe to pull over,, I would be able to log it, so as of when I re-established Internet connection, the hazzard would be shared with other waze'ers.
But alas there was no feature,…

Alert And/Or Settings/Navigation Option for Low Bridges
Low bridges (rail and road) are an issue throughout Westchester County, NY and over-height trucks frequently strike these bridges. Apparently on S Main (Rt 1) in Port Chester, Metro North is reporting a low bridge as an object in the road (for several months).
The problem here is, I would never consider a bridge as an 'object in road'. Rather, this alert distracts from looking at the low bridge warning signs. Drivers would pay attention to a permanent alert of a low bridge for this and other sites. Or for navigation by over-height vehicles, adding an option in settings/navigation…66 votes -
Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks

Low clearance feature
There should be a feature that allows you to select routes for oversized trucks- tractor trailers keep getting stuck in the sumner tunnel or moving trucks on storrow drive all the time!! This is Boston MA but I’m sure other places could benefit too

Features
by recc of Waze Customer Support, here's what I wrote to Ralph:
Hi Ralph …
....
I do have a few somethings else ….
1)I need the directions to reference something I see out the window. I don’t care if the locals call it “Webster-Basin-Springs RD” …. what’s on the road sign is State 333 off of US 60 South west of Irvington, **. You’ll need google maps/apple maps to find this reference. Waze only shows the name which cannot be seen on the road.
Waze CONSTANTLY uses a reference which is NOT on the roadway signs.
2) Nuther complaint:…

E-mail alerts for road closures
I'd like to have e-mail alerts for long-term road closures due to construction, flooding, etc. Those of us in trucking and other nationwide transportation industries could be kept aware without having to scan the entire national map.

Cross App Collaboration
Hello
Not so much feedback, as a suggestion.
Have you ever thought about partnering with another app? Heard of Alert2Me?
Alert2Me (if you aren’t aware) collates and displays real time emergency information like flooding, bushfires, smoke or storm warnings. It has location based alerts, as well as user contributed reporting.
The idea of a collaboration struck me tonight after seeing a notification from Alert2Me about a nearby fire. Shortly, followed by having to pull off the road to let a fire truck pass, with no mention of it on Waze. It could be a neat little cross promotion and…

police
After making a report of police, I noticed in my Inbox that it was labeled as "police speed trap." I don't think the app should make that assumption. I report police presence ONLY to promote officer safety. Sometimes large trucks block drivers' view and they may not be able to see there is an officer (or other emergency responder) at the side of the road.

Showing visuals for vehicles that hold up traffic would make things so much better
Show a visual of where sanitation trucks, school buses, fire trucks, etc are on the map so you can take alternative routes to get to your destination much quicker.

Waze for CMV drivers
I’ve seen the multiple post about Waze making an app or integrating cmv options for the current app and notice that nothing gets more than 11 votes before the idea is shut down. Is there a reason for that? Waze is an extremely easy to use and reliable gps app. As an iOS user, I have downloaded google maps(iOS maps highly unreliable and hard to use), and other apps that I have to use in combination with the Omni tracks to keep on route and keep track with driving but none of these gives accurate enough road information as far…

Sharing hazzards, accidents, etc with the emergency services.
In addition to informing other Waze'ers of hazzards, accidents, we encounter when we log the hazzardetc through the app. It would also be very beneficial to know that what we are reporting, the relivant information gets shared with the Emergency Services. So action can be taken as soon as possible.
Earlier today, I encountered a situation where a truck ahead of me, dropped a tie-down strap, tht had the potential to cause an accident, given it was a hooked kind of tie-down strap.
At the earliest opertunity, I pulled over and called the emergency services to infor of the hazzard.…

Safety road is follow one way circles
FOLKS, PLEASE READ THIS IS URGENT.
I have 20 years o driving experience, well my friends died on roads too.. Last time technical failure caused the truck in opposite direction lost its trailer. 80 + 80 = 160kmph = HE DIED.
Therefore I have imagined how ie. distributors (PpL, DHL,UPS..) travel in circles... In general average, I better don't want to meet these guys in opposite direction. In mathematical model I want to minimize other Wazers passin by. I'd like to get SOME model applied in general and follow just because I am scared of front crash. SOME could be…1 vote -

Road Events
It would be great to know when driver is approaching a funeral procession in either direction. For me, out of respect, I pull over if safe to do so . If I know this in advance, I am better prepared to figure out when/where to pull over. Also, if there is any high-speed active police chases, ambulance and/or fire trucks in either direction that would be helpful to know as well.

Hello, my name is Junior, I'm a motorcyclist in Itabaiana, Sergipe, Brazil. Here in Brazil, we have many trucks and we have difficulty navigating our roads. We need Waze to have a version for trucks; it would certainly be a huge success worldwide.

FeedForward
Hi Waze, I am Ritthik a 10 years old primary school student from Malaysia. I have noted waze users give "feedback" updates (example: an accident, so on), but, why we do not consider "FeedForward" method?
Let me explain "feedforward", i have seen in numerous occasions that we need to give our way to priority vehicles, example, Ambulance, Fire truck, Police, and many more. But, no users give this to the vehicles in front and we may not realizing that there is a priority vehicle approaching us - this could save lives, prompt action and simply we could do a…

Emergencies vehicles in actions
My suggestion is to add a “special” feature and has to be developed carefully: to have in clear in the waze map the warning about trip position of “emergency cars in action”
I mean: for police, ambulance, fire truck,… only when in action (sirens on and flashing lights on) a “red flashing dot” appears in the Waze map during their route
Me, as car driver, can be informed about it and modify my actions in order not to hinder their actions and to give them space
Main intention is not to track them, especially police cars, but during their…1 vote -
Distance Ruler & Break Reminder
User Problem: When driving long distances, I want to visually see my current progress between two set break points so I can better plan rest stops and manage fatigue.
User Story: As a driver, I want to set a break interval (e.g., every 100 or 200 km), and see a ruler or progress indicator on my navigation map that shows:Where I am now
How far I’ve traveled since my last break
How much distance remains until the next suggested breakFeature Details:
