Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please reduce this to ONE.
The rest are unnecessary because:
1 — I've already confirmed my destination.
2 — The rest, like parking, can wait until later.Thank you

One click navigation to Saved places after starting waze
You start waze everyday and you everyday pick one of 5 routes.
But you need 3-4 clicks to do so and after every step, you have to do 3-4 quick decision and reading. It takes you attention to waaay too long.Imagine new optional One click home screen:
- no map on home page (but yes, there are button to show map)
- precalculated routes to all of your saved places IS there
- all routes with 3 best variants, your preffered way is highlighted and Allways Shown, major issues highlighted
How it should be - sorry for not uploading picture:
1) WORK (see road details)
road 1 - 17 min. (through Main st.) (light traffic logo) - GO in 3, 2, 1..
road 2 - 27 min. (through highway) (*preffered) (accident) - GO
road 3 - 35 min. (through Jefferson st.) (hard traffic logo) - GO2) HOME - turned off - because you are at home and waze know it. (with option to turn it on if its just GPS issue)
3) Grandma house (see road details)
road 1 - 37 min. (through Lincoln av.) (*preffered)- GO
road 2 - 41 min. (through highway) - GO
road 3 - 55 min. (through Jefferson st.) (police logo) - GO4) GF house (see details)
road 1 - 10 min. (through Lincoln av.) (*preffered) (police) - GO
road 2 - 15 min. (through highway) (light traffic) - GO
road 3 - 25 min. (through Jefferson st.) - GOpros:
ZERO click to got big pictureONE click start to daily routes or even monthly routes
you can start it even if car, if you see accident or traffic. you have better info RIGHT NOW without a single click or scrolling on map, so you acn do it while driving in a second without toutching - MUCH safer
if ux ++ then much more users will come
cons:
waze will have to do very quick road calculations (which can be slower). but there should be Loading bar under every location in this case and you should click on your favourite location to load that first.
maybe there should be an condition - no load in 3 seconds -> show just map, or this load bar will just be over the map in packed version, so you will see the map and after every route is calculated, it gets bigger.everyone sees your saved places or favourite ways. but if you dont save places like girlfriend 1 and girlfriend 2, you are supersafe :-)
if your telephone is stolen, someone will see your adresses, but it can be seen even if they are just saved.

police comments
Why has commenting on the police icon been disabled?
I've actually found this commentary to be very useful for telling people which side of the road an officer may have made a stop, in the case of move-over and slow-down laws, etc.
Very disappointing and uninformative.

use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode
When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

Rettungssgassen-Erinnerung
Es wäre toll wenn Waze in Staus auf Autobahnen den Fahrer optisch oder akkustisch an das Bilden der Rettungsgasse erinnert. Viele Fahrer vergessen das häufig, ich auch manchmal.

Why are traffic jams on highway not announced? This seems like a major need going from 65mph to 0?!
Everything else is an audible, verbalized announcement. Why are traffic jams on the highway not an audible alert to the driver? I find this to be a major miss currrntly.

Keep the police reporting feature. That is your main strength. Fight the effort to eliminate it by police. It's free speech.
Keep the police reporting feature. We really have no use for Waze without it. It is free speech. You have the right to offer it. Stand up to police efforts to eliminate it.

Create user profiles
I wish Waze, like Netflix and so many other must-have apps, let you create user profiles.
That way, to give just one example, you wouldn’t have to change the HOV setting each time you use a Tesla to “electric” (which allows you to use certain HOV lanes).

Météo
Bonjour,
Serait il possible intégrer les prévisions météo pour les trajets sur les longs trajets et ceux que l'on veux programmer à l'avance.. Cela serait un facteur déterminant pour le temps mais surtout pour la sécuritéCordialement

Option to hide "Select vehicle type" button
I stopped needing to use Waze for a while, so I'm not sure when it was added, but one of the "new" changes I noticed right away when using it recently, and that I absolutely hate, is the "Select vehicle type" button that is now ALWAYS visible. That makes no sense. I can't imagine many people are switching vehicle types on a regular basis, and it should be optional so those that are can have it there and those that have no need for it don't have it sitting there being distracting. And even people that do have a use for it would be served just as well with a button with a picture of a car on the bottom toolbar, out of the way, not ON THE MAP..

Alerts
Instead of "Watch out!" when there is an alert, it would be less alarming to say "Caution" or "Be advised."

Stop Go in addition to just construction
We need and icon for reporting Temporary traffic lights where construction reduces road width to single lane and controlled by temporary traffic lights allowing traffic from one way at a time. As opposed to just construction which can be present without impediment on traffic flow these types of traffic hazards slow down traffic considerably more than just regular construction.

How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle rider rolling on the road. This will be helpful on a road with many curves.
To prevent pedestrians to look on their smartphone screen when crossing a road, the application should set the screen to black and write a message:” Be Careful ! You are crossing a road”.
Add on the Waze application screen a flashing mark with the location of each emergency vehicle located within the area displayed on the screen and the direction of its progression. Activate a warning (visual, audio and vibrating) if an emergency vehicle is approaching. This will help any person listening music loudly via his earphones, or a deaf person to get warned.How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety

Connect with train position tracking systems
Connect Waze and train position tracking systems like http://provoz.szdc.cz/grappnv/ to warn the driver in advance that he/she is approaching rail crossings and a train is in near vicinity and therefore there is serious danger and he/she should be aware of it. I can help you with implementation in Czech Republic. Thanks.

UPDATE SECTION: Warning on the route
Currently, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported, although the road is crowded, we do not know which band to fall in to avoid the accident.
After the warning buttons like: accident, hole, works, etc
Show the selection of the band on which the warning is placed
Let's have options, three lanes.
This will help us whether we are on a road with a band, or that we are on a 5-lane highway
After this UPDATE, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported on the right side, for example, although the road is crowded (WAZE users that are over 50% of the traffic) let's go back to the left of the time, avoid the accident.

Toggle parking icons on and off please
Please allow us to turn the parking icons on and off.
They icons block the areas you need to actually see on screen at times, and in most areas, it’s very obvious where parking is available.8 votes -
