Traffic lights option button
Hello wazers. There are some traffic lights that are fast enough to pass through and some others that are extremely slow (2-3 cars per time). Waze commonly proposes directions through traffic lights (Even when there are other options).
I think that a “traffic light” option button that characterizes it as slow or fast, would be a good addition in order to accelerate our proposed roots40 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.

Stop users reporting heavy traffic when at traffic lights
In major cities there is always going to be to be a few cars stacked up at traffic lights. Stop dumb Waze users reporting heavy traffic when they are stopped at traffic lights. It affects the routing of other Waze users. Almost every day I see reports of heavy traffic where there is none just because some moron is reporting heavy traffic when they are sitting behind 2 others cars at traffic lights.

Traffic lights navigation
Mostly in cities, sometimes I'm used to get navigation guidance from people, telling me to "turn right at the 3rd traffic light ahead" or "turn left at the next junction ahead". I think such navigation method - by counting road & infrastructure elements, rather than calculating distance - could be useful and preferable for some people. It may require initially mapping all these road elements in order to enable it... I believe its worthwhile :)

Report traffic lights with poor timing
I think there could be many benefits to reporting traffic lights with unapporpriate timing mechanisms, i.e. a light on a through street which turns red with great frequency when no cars or pedestrians are using the cross street. This holds up traffic unnecessarily and can cause further congestion. This information could be sold or provided to cities to help them use aggregate information to determine which lights potentially need to have their timing adjusted (Waze could aggregate the top 10 worst timed traffic lights in the city). This information could also be used internally by Waze to help provide the…

Report Traffic lights in Android Auto
The button to report faulty traffic lights is already in the mobile version of the app. Can we please get it ported over to the Android Auto version? At any point in time at least 30% of South Africa's traffic lights don't work and it would help many users if a few of us could report from our car displays.

Temporary traffic lights
Add an option to show temporary lights, option for roadworks is great but I think most people would like to know if there’s a set of temporary lights, these can add time onto busy work commutes and this can be taken into account when planning a drive. Waze is fantastic for everything else but this would take it too a new level above every other navigation app.

Create a Report category for "Faulty Traffic Lights"
Traffic lights are a major cause of traffic delays when out. Currently there is no way to report this specific problem.

New Report- temporary traffic lights
Hello Waze,
A lot of roadworks in London are controlled by Temporary Traffic Lights
Which can be 2-Way (50% green)
Also can be 3-Way (33% green)
And can be 4-Way (25% green)
Therefore I suggest :Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 2Way
Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 3Way
Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 4Way
Looking forward to your feedback

traffic lights and stop signs
I request this idea a lot but it seems like no one listens and Waze team completely ignores it. We need stop signs and traffic lights on the map. All navigations in the market already has it expect only Waze, I don't know why they don't want do it or difficult to them to do it! I can't understand, these things its really very important for the drivers.

Use Waze information to Control Traffic Lights
Since I'm a long time user of Waze and Google Maps, I was wondering if Alphabet Inc. has considered designing a smart system that would use the data transmitted by Waze clients to program traffic lights.
From the research I've done, the actual smart systems in advanced cities are based on sensors and cameras placed at the intersections which makes this solution very expensive and thus not attractive to third world country cities. There's even a proposal using RFIDs in vehicles.
I am sure that city governments would promote vigorously the use of these apps and embrace a solution…

- connected to smart traffic lights to speed up getting a green light and improve traffic flow.

Adding traffic lights and stop signs like how Apple Maps and I think google maps has.
Adding traffic lights and stop signs would be amazing, it’s nice to know 1 mile In advance when driving in new areas.
