Overtaking
Overtaking lanes in Australia is a must. We have single lane highways and 3 trailer trucks to overtake, this will save so many accidents. It doesn’t need to be built into the map just as a button for the crowd to add so we know there is an overtaking lane coming up, we will wait before passing on dodgy roads filled with Kangaroos!

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:

This is a dangerous rubbish!
At the first try warning 3 times for nothing - for example a parking truck on a sideroad was an "issue" - and estimated heavy traffic on the way. Luckily I follow google app and there was practically nothing on the road! Idiot crap application so far! Advise for developing? Give up and close this app, here no more misleadings and unnecessary warning stress - and go to learn how a proper navigation app must have to operate. You are ever feel any kind of resposibility about your faulty programming??? Im not a google fan, but the matter of fact,…

Helping Small Town roads
To Whom it may concern, I am contacting you today with an idea that could help our small town here of Nitro, WV (25143). We have a truck stop named Pilot Flying J (4204 1st Ave S, Nitro, WV 25143) located here where many truckers come to refuel their trucks and grab a bite to eat. There is a road that connects the Pilot to the I-64 Interstate exit of Institute, which is Route 25. Unfortunately, several truckers (travelling westbound on 64 to the Pilot) are routed this way using a Gps Device, which runs right through…

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks
Reg
From Sydney
🙂👍🏼

Can you please give us the option "Turn right only"?
Can you please give us the option "Turn right only when possible", and get itineraries, or directions, with only right turns to you destination? It's sometimes impossible to turn Left in big American cities like Los Angeles. Conan, the late night show host, hinted to this when he visited your offices in 2017 in Tel Aviv, and asked if your app could stop telling him to turn left from 14th street onto Montana. I know this part of town, and I can attest to this: It is impossible to turn left there... But it's like that all over town!!! Plus,…

short description for all alerts will be easy to undertand the problem in ahead
It's very common in Argentina to see multiple alerts at the same location. We tend to have these kinds of issues, and Waze clearly always shows you the most important one, ignoring the other warnings. It would be great if the other alerts had a brief description, no more than two or three words, so you could know in advance what kind of problem there is, especially when it doesn't show the corresponding alert because another, higher-priority alert is active. I've driven over 70,000 km in a year, and you can't imagine how many times I could have avoided traffic…

Added icons response vehicle's that transmit to the intelligent traffic system
Add icons for tow trucks and roadside response vehicle that have ability to report to the smart traffic management system. I use the pi-link system that reports to waze and maps, however I show on map as a car on shoulder, not an emergency tow response. I work with odot and multiple law enforcement agencies. The more warning drivers have the more likely I am not going to be another emergency responder hit by another motorist

On Navigation preferences
Could you add an “Avoid Parkways”feature?
Small commercial vehicles like pick up trucks and small vans are not allowed in parkways in Ct and NY and it’s really complicated to move around those areas because Waze will calculate all routes using the Parways.3 votes -

estimation based on the gradient of the route
Implement fuel consumption/energy expenditure estimation based on the gradient of the route. Currently it does not take into account whether the route contains uphill or downhill slopes. In many cases a route can be more efficient if uphill slopes are avoided or efficiency can be improved if it is downhill. It can also be very useful for bicycles, trucks, etc.

TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights…

Frequent Reporting Flag
I got flagged for "frequent reporting" this morning. There were 3 trucks and 1 car all on the side of the road, about 1/8 of a mile apart. I reported them and got flagged. As one of the top Waze users in my state, I don't appreciate getting flagged. You should have more flexibility for reporting, as a function of your ranking, or something. Don't bite the hand that feeds!!

Possible warning for overhead obstruction in areas with low hanging trees?
In the south where there are many oak lined roads, branches overhang the roadways. When trucks come through, it is often that their loads catch these limbs, especially after a rain.

a New Yellow Vest Pin for France
Hello Waze;)
I'm sorry to write to you on Saturday.
Today, truckers are starting to block borders and, in general, we do not know where they are parked, to go and support them.
You can make available yellow vests, a new logo additional, yellow vest, for use by truckers.
If a truck driver wishes to extend his stop on a parking lot, for example, he could then put a yellow vest tag at the place where he is parked and yellow vests could support him in his stop, without the employer of this driver can revoke his driver's…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Create a Vehicle-Aware Routing System for Waze
The Waze Team should consider incorporating a feature that can detect a user’s vehicle and its specifications, such as its height and weight, and to use that data when generating routes. Incidents such as over-height trucks striking low bridges, overweight vehicles damaging roads, and large trucks being directed into streets that are too narrow could be significantly prevented through this vehicle-aware routing. Implementing this would be a significant step towards leveraging emerging technologies to improve user experience and safety in a way that other GPS systems currently fail to account for.
